    hi Alden,
    I am wondering if you did get to come to our Hungry Filmmakers' Screening in NYC in September and did you see my short from my film series, The Texas Huntress? I would love to connect with you…We are still editing Episode 1, and we just wrapped Episode 2 on Friday night, in the Berkshires. Episode 2 included me hunting pheasant with well-known New England Chef, Brian Alberg, of the Red Lion Inn, with our dinner held at the amazing white barn above Chris Weld's Berkshire Mountain Distillery. With Collaboration from Laura Meister of Farmgirl Farms, Designer Elena Letteron of the interiors boutique, Germain, Gregg Charbonnea of Barrington Coffee Roasting Company, Alex Harney of Harney and Sons, etc. Your blog is wonderful, and I would love to talk sometime soon. Cheers! ashley chiles

    Hi Alden,
    You have an awesome site! Both myself and my partner love it.
    We are trying to be greener and have been looking at ways to do it so stumbled here.
    It is all very new to us at this moment :)
    There is another site I came across called http://www.greentradersglobal.com and would love to see people recycling a lot more especially considering its free and a great way to meet people.
    I hope to see more of your updates coming up!

    I’m here finally!  I have to apologize because, as your sister, I should have signed up for your fabulous blog ages ago, but I can be technologically adverse.  Anywho, hello, my darling sister – here’s to reading your thoughts about being green when I can’t hear them!
