It got hot again, what happened?!?  So we had some nice cloudy days but it was very warm.  Not humid but just hot because the sun did peak out a lot and some days it just was not cloudy.  Differently felt like Summer in Spring.  Just like how it felt like Summer in Winter and Summer in Fall where as Summer was just Summer.  Not sure why we bother naming seasons in Southern California but I guess just to be consistent with the rest of the world.  At least the pool is getting back to normal so I can use it soon!  It was getting bad but found a new pool guy and he is doing a great job.  A little pricey initially to get the pool back to normal but the monthly is much less so I think this first year it will almost balance out.

Weekly Update:
Had a fun little work activity this past week, another scavenger hunt in the theme parks!  Was nice to get out of the office for several hours and run around ... of course we are broken up into teams and each team went on different days.  AND of course our team went on the hottest day than anyone else (mid to high 80's).  So we were exhausted pretty quickly but still had a pretty fun time and getting to know some new folks along the way as well.  But it is a fun thing to do in the parks and hopefully next time it is either at night or in the Winter where it is at least cooler!

At the movies:
Still roaring at the top spot for a 3rd week-in-a-row is "The Jungle Book" with another 42.4 million and now past 250 mil cume for domestic.  On track to come close to 400 mil, word-of-mouth still strong though.  Holding on to the #2 spot is "The Huntsman: Winter's War" with an extra 9.4 mil and is quickly burning out, may not see 50 mil at this rate.  New at #3 is Keanu with only 9.4 mil and just below expectations.  Also new at #4 is Mother's Day and this should have opened next week ON the actually weekend of Mother's Day.  Only doing 8.3 mil and also slightly below expectations.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Barbershop: The Next Cut" with another 6.1 mil and this seat should be vacant next week.

New Movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one wide release as Ratchet & Clank comes in at #7 with only 4.8 mil.  Well below expectations but sadly only by around 5 mil which is not saying much.  In general, movies from video games have not fared to well.
