And it continues to remain ... cool!  It is almost cold but not freezing.  I am fine either cold, cool or freezing to be honest.  As I always say, it is easier to warm up than to cool down or usually cooling down requires money like using the AC where as warming up, put in heavier or more cloths!  But I must say this is very unseasonable weather for us.  Also had a lot of very cloudy days with the tease of rain yet ... no rain and hence the tease instead.  Seriously though our weather patterns are so out of whack like they used to be.  VERY clear evidence of global warming just solely based on historical patterns alone.  I would love to go solar power for the house but the costs are just so high that it could take several years till it pays for itself.  So is it worth it?  Plus the approval process being part of a fairly strict HOA and can they withstand the impact of a golf ball strike!

Weekly Update:
This week was a pretty busy week!  With several meetings and going on and an event to attend which was like a meeting ... in fact a meeting would have been preferred over that event because, it was boring.  But I did find one of the meetings this week pretty productive, I just wish it lasted longer but because it started very late we lost time there.  It is nice connecting with folks from another state that you do not get to see but a few times a year and catch up.  And they have a nice demeanor instead of that unapproachable "boss" type so it makes for a pleasant encounter.  But nonetheless, meetings and more meetings.  Glad this week is over because of all of that.

At the movies:
As expected, "Avengers: Endgame" holds the lead for another week with an extra 148.8 mil.  It is a significant drop though compared to today's average but it now puts it over 600 mil cume.  Looks like it will be shy of 1 billion but time will tell as we approach Summer.  New at #2 is The Intruder with a distant 11 mil to open.  About at expectations for this film as well and will burn out fast.  New at #3 is Long Shot and below expectations.  It may be a comedy but felt more like a drama from the ads which could be the cause for the low opening.  New at #4 is Ugly Dolls with only 8.5 mil to open and may have come out too soon actually.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Captain Marvel" with another 4.3 mil as it slows down it's jets.
