In Montreal w/ Dad

Dad joined me in Montreal for the weekend to help Sarah and I prepare for our upcoming marriage. I was happy to get to spend time with them both, and that we picked a restaurant for our night before the wedding, intimate Jones-Sacuto dinner. It's going to be at a beautiful Italian restaurant in Old Montreal called Le Muscadin. We also got Les Canadiens to play a private hockey game just for us! Just kidding, we saw a movie in the old hockey arena where they used to play which has now been converted into a theater. We saw the Al Gore movie on global warming and were very stimulated by what we saw. He is able to very clearly articulate and demonstrate that unless we make major changes, we're creating huge problems for ourselves and future generations. One of his warnings is that Greenland or Western Antartica could soon melt, raising the world's sea level drastically. The result would be that my mom's home in California would be underwater, as would my office building in lower Manhattan. Luckly, where I live and where dad lives is at the highest natural point in Manhattan, so we'd be ok....until we move. You should check out this website to learn more.
