I honestly can't tell if its really Winter or a mild Summer??  The nights are great, have to wear a medium to heavy jacket .. sometimes the heavy jacket gets to be way to warm after awhile but still, I like wearing a jacket.  The day ... I feel like I need to wear shorts because it gets in the mid to high 70's!  I think one day was 80 and all I wanted to do is stay inside.  Luckily I haven't had to turn on the AC again for this month yet ... but the forecast for the rest of this year is light Summer weather.  No rain ... no cloudy days ... just Sun and heat.  Some rain would have been nice, that is like our version of a white Christmas.  Oh but I guess we do get snow in the mountains that are only like 30 to 45 minutes away.  What is wrong people!!

Weekly Update:
Had a chance to attend the premier for "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" which isn't a remake but kind of like a continuation of the original movie.  A bit of a modern twist and very different but does play into the fact that in the original film, the main character went missing into the game and we never knew what happened till the game came to present day.  This version sort of takes you to where he went inside the game and overall, it was just a fun popcorn style film.  I did enjoy and wouldn't mind seeing it again.  But, while at the premier, got to meet some of the younger cast:

*Alex Wolff - he was portrayed by Dwayne Johnson and a cool guy.
*Ser'Darius Blain - portrayed by Kevin Hart and he was OK.
*Madison Iseman - portrayted by Jack Black and she was very sweet and nice.

At the movies:
No question what the big movie was and exceeding expectations is Star Wars: The Last Jedi with a big 220.1 million opening.  Mixed reactions but a movie of this magnitude is review proof and continues the franchise along with story-line.  New at #2, and at a very distance 2nd is Ferdinand with 13.3 mil and right on predictions.  Drop down to #3 is "Coco" earning an extra 10 mil as it struggles to reach 200 mil and won't make it.  Holding ground at #4 is "Wonder" with 5.4 mil and surpasses 100 mil for this award contender film. Wrapping up the top 5 is "Justice League" with an extra 4.2 mil as this one comes to a quick close for the year.
