It cooled down a lot this week!!  After a week or two of heat, the sun was out and it was cold during this week!  I had to put on sweats and long sleeve shifts, I would estimate around 60 degrees during the day.  It was freezing during the night but I can accept that trade of, just cover up under the blankets and turn on the heat!  Heat is cheaper than the AC after all.  If I run the AC for a month, almost every day, it would be in the hundreds of dollars.  But if I did the same for the heat, the gas bill would be around $50 ... so not only is getting warmer easier but also cheaper than cooling down. So, I just hope this trend continues but with our weather, nothing to hold our breath about.

Weekly Update:
Not much of a week today, went to the park one afternoon for some testing but that was about it. It was a kind of so-so testing thing, nothing worth mentioning necessarily.  But the park was semi-packed and I didn't stay too long.  It is interesting when you are backstage and they are preparing for the parade.  You see a lot of interesting and neat things going on, people standing around in costumes, others trying to get up on their floats and people practicing dancing around ... kind of like a high school band waiting to perform during the half time segment.

At the movies:
A few surprises this weekend at the box office as "A Quiet Place" climbs back up to #1 with 22 million and has surpassed the 100 mil cume for this quiet film.  Word-of-mouth continues to keep this film at the top of the box office.  Drop down to #2 is "Rampage" with another 21 mil and could be a struggle to reach 100 mil cume on this one.  New at #3 is I Feel Pretty with 16.2 mil and just under expectations.  New at #4 is Super Troopers 2 with 14.7 mil, did what original predicted and not much else on this one.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Truth or Dare" with 7.9 mil and this will fall off as well.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Traffik comes in at #9 with 3.9 mil, nothing really was expected on this one.
