Ides of March ... plus 10

Greetings:

I'm back from a Sports Management Conference in Washington, DC. Held at Nationals Park.  It was sponsored by Georgetown University, and the Georgetown people were all bummed out when the Hoyas were bounced from the NCAAs in the first round by a 15th seed!

It was cold and windy, but at least there was no snow. Still plenty of snow in my Loudon, N.H. yard. Global Warming may, indeed, be a hoax. Ah, but there's now climate change.  Yes.  The climate may be changing. It's been changing for many millions of years. When it warms up enough .. if it warms up enough .. so that people can live in Greenland again, as they used to centuries ago before our cold snap, then ... why wouldn't that be a GOOD thing?

Anyway ... things continue to percolate re: our award-winning book, "FAHIM SPEAKS: A Warrior-Actor's Odyssey from Afghanistan to Hollywood and Back."  I'll be doing an interview later today with Ken Cail on WTPL-FF Radio 107.7  "The Pulse!"  Should be Podcasts available later.

Here's a link to a wonderful interview Fahim did with the Film Annex:

Granite State Greetings:

More snow coming ...

Enough ... enough!

So I'm flying to California tomorrow, March 7. Actually northern California -- Oakland --  then to Berkeley ... and a chance to sit in on a history class there. I am a history guy, and am excited about that.  I know Cal-Berkeley has this radical, activist reputation. What if the professor overly proselytizes?  What if I need to speak up?  But as a guest, I'll try to be quiet and respectful ... and maybe learn something!  I guess the subject is the "Great Depression." 

Then down the coast to loved ones in Orange County ... including Fahim Fazli, the pride of Dana Point!

Congrats to Fahim on the occasion of "ARGO" winning the "Best Picture" Oscar!  Fahim had a small role in the movie - and coincidentally, is my co-author on the award-winning "FAHIM SPEAKS: A Warrior-Actor's Odyssey from Afghanistan to Hollywood and Back." That development has already prompted some calls from the media and several radio interviews.

Can't have too much publicity!
