Summer time!! What was the deal in SoCali last week? Temps in the 90's and its mid November already. I hope this is not a sign of another hot winter like 2 years ago. Where is our rain and cold ... where?? Well hopefully that will not be the case and it will cool down this week ... one can only hope.

Weekly Update:
Had a follow-up this week with the surgeon and I am weening off the neck brace now and seeing how far I can move my head around. Its a very odd adjustment after having the brace on for over a month and getting use to functioning with it on ... and not re-adjusting to have it off. Slow process but I think I can get back to work (on a limited basis) at the end of the month. Working from home is cool and all but being in the office (like the one I work in) is nice too.


At the movies:
New animation takes the box office as Beowulf comes in with 28.1 million for its opening weekend, Paramount continues to dominant the box office as of late. In at #2 is Paramount's "Bee Movie" with an extra 14.3 mil and now over the 90 mil cume. At #3 we stray away from animation and have "American Gangster" with an additional 13.2 mil and has reached the 100 mil cume mark. Showing at #4 is "Fred Claus" with 12 mil more. Rounding off the top 5 is the family film Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium with only 10 mil. There is one thing nice about Magorium, it had a toy drive last week for the USMC Toys for Tots program and set a new Guinness Book World Record of collecting over 28,000 pounds of toys!

Comment Response:

None at this time.

Other News:
This is kind of cool, last week an old World War II P-38 Lockheed Lightning fighter plane was discovered under the shores of Wales. It ran out of gas and crashed landed over 65 years ago wear it rested till it started to resurface as the waves slowly revealed the amazing plane. I have always admired this plane and thought it to be one of the better fighter planes of that era. I am sure this one is very rusted out but it would be cool if some of it could be restored to its former glory.
