PRE-HOLIDAY EDITION

The day before Christmas Day and Chanukah has already passed. The air is very crisp and cold and people are out doing last minute shopping. It is a good time of year and I wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas Eve!

Weekly Update:
About two weeks ago we had our annual company holiday party and it was pretty nice. Had the big In-n-Out trucks with Pink's Hotdog stations along with some pizza stations. Beer truck with 5 different kinds on tap along with all the other standard beverages. Fun and tiring party because of all the walking and standing around. But the one thing that I thought was cool is I ran into a former NBA player!

*John Salley- nice guy and SUPER tall!!!

At the movies:
Big box office weekend to start closing up the year as National Treasure: Book of Secrets takes the #1 spot with a hefty 45.5 million. Holding ground at #2 is "I Am Legend" with another 34.2 mil. Also hanging tight at #3 is "Alvin and The Chipmunks" with a solid 29 mil more. New at #4 is the political drama Charlie Wilson's War with only 9.6 to its name and doesn't look to good for this film. Although it does have some critical acclaim, but will it be enough to help? Rounding off the top 5 if is the musical dark story of Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street with a very disappointing 9.4 mil. I am kind of tired of the Tim Burton style of film, its all the same.

New movies that did not make the top 5: Two big releases hit the screens with some BIG disappointing numbers ... in at #6 is P.S. I Love You with only 6.5 mil and this heart is broken. At #8 we have the comedy spoof of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story bringing in a sour note of 4.1 mil.

Comment Response:
None at this time.

Other News:
Not major news but this is the time when all the holiday classics are all over the TV stations. So if you don't need to be out, stay home, relax and enjoy some TV with the family. Watch Ralphie get is BB gun, watch Scrooge get a new leash on life, watch Bad Santa turn good ... or enjoy some real classics with the misfits of the holidays.

Facts & Tips:
454 U.S. dollar bills weigh exactly one pound.
