This weather is completely messing with me!  So I will say the weather forecasts have been pretty accurate but only when it is days away.  Last week it called for 2 1/2 days of rain this week.  THEN, when it was a couple of days later, it said one day ... ok, not much but still something.  THEN when it was like the Monday of that week, it says starting in the afternoon through the evening ... still some rain at least.  THEN the day before it said starting at 9PM to 11PM ... was there like a scheduling conflict so it could only fit us in for those 2 hours?  But what is funny is at almost 9PM that night, rain!  It was so light and pretty much enough to get the ground wet and water all the plants I suppose.  I am not sure if it lasted till 11 though, I should have checked but I just new it started almost on time because I had let the dogs out and saw it start to drizzle.  Hey Rain, can we maybe schedule a much longer lunch next time so you can stay awhile and hang out?

Weekly Update:
Friday night did a fun thing, well two fun things I guess.  During the day I went and tried out the new attraction at Disneyland's Galaxy Edge, Rise of the Resistance.  It opened last month at Disney World and here opens next week but they are doing cast previews.  I got at the park at opening and then you get into a virtual queue and wait till they call your boarding group.  I didn't get on till later but it worked out because then later that night, I stayed to help with the clue testing for this year's Minnie's Moonlit Madness (image is from 2019, haven't seen the logo for this year yet).  It was pretty fun and making sure the clues they will be using work for the competitors of the event itself.  Did some testing in the park at California Adventure and overall they were all good with some minor hic-ups but hopefully they will iron those out for next week's 2nd and final test run before the actual event at the end of the month.

At the movies:
Post Golden Globe awards has stirred up the box office a bit!  Taking the #1 spot this weekend is "1917" with a hefty 36.5 million.  It now has a cume of just short 40 mil total but with the awards and accolades it has now set its course to break 100 mil.  Drop down to #2 is "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" with 15.1 mil as it is now shy of 500 mil.  May get that within the next 2 to 3 weeks at this current rate.  Also dropping down to #3 is "Jumanji: The Next Level" with 14 mil extra.  Bumping up to #4 is "Just Mercy" with 10 mil and now with a 10.4 mil cume after 3 weeks.  New at #5 is Like a Boss with 10 mil to open and not far off expectations.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one wide release as Underwater comes in at #7 with 7 mil to open.  Another one not far off expectations and the Fox-Disney product continues to suffer.
