Day: October 4, 2003

Saw three major instances of rocking this evening.

First was taking Ariel to see “School of Rock,” a film I cannot recommend highly enough, especially if you’re looking for a good family film that doesn’t condescend. In some respects it’s by the numbers, but you finally yourself really not caring because it’s just that entertaining.

Second was our watching an old video of “Heartbreak Hotel,” a charming film by Chris Columbus in which a teenage boy kidnaps Elvis (grandly played by David Keith, doing his own singing.) If you haven’t seen it, check it out.

And last was just now watching the Red Sox keep their hopes alive with a two run homer in the bottom of the 11th to make the series 2-1. Whereas the Sox are worried about stuff that happened eighty years ago with Babe Ruth, the A’s are concerned with meltdowns during playoffs that happened two years ago, so who is carrying more pressure?
