Cloudy with a tease of rain! That was the forecast last week if you stepped outside around here. The clouds rolled in but nothing fell. The temperatures dropped and still the weather was playing with me. Oh sure the sun came out a couple of times to say, "Hi, how are ya?" But the weather otherwise was just messing with me. Where are the "April Showers?"Weekly Update:
This past week for the most part was quiet which is very nice these days. It seems like when it gets hectic now, there is actual stress involved. I never use to stress out or get stressed out but lately when you get hit with stupidity after stupidity, it's kind of unavoidable. This coming week should also be a quiet week as well since I will be out of town in the San Francisco area. The weather is projected to be cold during the day and super cold at night. I better not forget my jacket like I did on the last trip but it worked out ok because I never went outside during the last trip.
At the movies:

Rounding off the top 5 is The Ruins with only 7.8 mil.
