Maybe a little cooler but at least it was not hot!  Starting to actually cool down a bit which is finally nice.  We are only in November but it was still pretty warm in the direct sun but at least there was no more humidity or close to 100 degree weather.  I do not understand what is going on but, and I may have said this before, it feels like we need need tho daylight saving our calendar a whole month!  So instead of an hour back, adjust a whole month back and the weather will make a little more sense! Well, maybe someday our weather will make sense but till then, enjoy this picture of our current winter view.  It is very disappointing for winter but we will endure some how.

Weekly Update:
Went to the annual Blizzcon convention this past weekend and it was pretty fun.  Got to demo the new Overwatch game and for an FPS style game, it was pretty fun.  Not a big FPS gamer these days since and when I was, I preferred the squad based games like Ghost Recon.  This, from what I can tell is teams so not sure if they will have a campaign type mode for team building with a story line.  The characters are all over the place with who they are and represent so who knows.  Tried the new World of Warcraft expansion and that was fun to play again and some StarCraft which is good to get back into again.  But when I was there I ran into a couple of people ...

*Cree Summer - best know on the TV series "It's A Different World" and super nice!
*Abraham Benrubi - remember him from "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" and a very nice guy.

At the movies:
The box office rebounds nicely!  New at #1 is Spectre in the latest installment of the James Bond franchise with the resurfacing of an old nemesis.  Bond brings in a cool 73 million for its debut and will likely hit 100 mil by the end of this coming week.  This was so close to estimations too!  Also new at #2 is The Peanuts Movie with a fantastic 45 mil to open and above expectations.  Looks like the holiday season has kicked off a bit early and it is good so far.  Holding ground at #3 is "The Martian" with 9.3 mil and very close to 200 mil cume  It should reach that in the next few days more than likely.  Still doing well at #4 is "Goosebumps" in its 4th week with another 7 mil.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Bridge of Spies" earning an extra 6 mil and should fall out of the top 5 next week.
