Every third Monday of January we celebrate and recognize a great man. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, who was assassinated way before his time. He was a leader of inspiration and hope. He fought both racism and fear. Promoted love and compassion. And for all of this he was killed. He was killed because he wanted a united country and equality for everyone of every race, culture and age ... I guess that was too much of a radical idea. We struggle.
Weekly Update:RAIN!!!!! We had some great rain this week but come Friday it was all gone and dried up. I discovered part of my backyard drains are a bit clogged so I did try kitchen de-clogger so I hope that may work or help a little bit. But it was so good to have some good solid rain for a few days. Also love hearing the rain come down and just wash all the dust and dirt away for a bit. We can use more of this but the forecast calls for warmer temps and sunny days. I don't understand this weather anymore. Well, global warming is a myth so none of this is real anyway I suppose. I just made it all up.
At the movies:A new #1 again this week as Glass shatters its way to the top. Coming in with 40.6 mil and spot on expectations, should be on track to hit 100 mil. Small drop to #2 is "The Upside" with another 15.7 mil and continues to roll along. Holding ground at #3 is "Aquaman" with 10.3 mil as it now passes the 300 mil cume mark. Should cap out around another quarter. New at #4 out from left field and unexpected is Dragon Ball Z Super: Broly with 8.7 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" as it continues to win more awards this past weekend at the PGA. Earning an extra 7.3 mil, it will struggle to reach 200 mil cume and unlikely at that.
Quote of the week:
"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters." - Epictetus
Facts & Tips:There are more saunas than cars in Finland.
"There's a dark side to each and every human soul. We wish we were Obi-Wan Kenobi, and for the most part we are, but there's a little Darth Vader in all of us. Thing is, this ain't no either-or proposition. We're talking about dialectics, the good and the bad merging into us. You can run but you can't hide. My experience? Face the darkness. Stare it down. Own it. As brother Nietzsche said, being human is a complicated gig. So give that ol' dark night of the soul a hug. Howl the eternal yes!" - John Corbett as Chris Stevens in the TV series "Northern Exposure."
