Chill out!

For once I am happy the weather forecast was very wrong!  Last week forecasted that this week we would have a major heat wave (well, at least major for us).  They were saying last Sunday - Monday it was going to hit 90 degrees and then during the week mid to high 80's.  I was not looking forward to that at all but some cold front must have came in or something.  It was cold and great!  I would say the high might have been 75-ish degrees but we had some nice breezes as well.  Nights were cold, around 50's cold but no wind which was nice as well.  So I for one am glad the weather forecast was way off!  Like I always say, it's easier to warm up than it is to cool down (and way less expensive too!)

Weekly Update:
Last week is kind of an emotional rough week.  First off I found out a former co-worker who had to stop working due to cancer treatment will not be able to take anymore.  Not due to cost or availability but because they discovered it will no longer work for her.  She was an incredibly sweet and nice person and now that her cancer isn't getting better with no more treatments available, she has gone into hospice care to live out her remaining time.  I don't think she is more than 40-years old, IF that old.  Cancer sucks.  And to add more to that, learned that a current co-worker suddenly passed away.  As far as we knew he wasn't sick or anything and no details as to what happened but apparently he just died.  I didn't know him that well but we were co-workers (remotely) for I would say 5+ years.  I only saw him in messages, meetings and chats.  He was pretty quiet towards me but nice nonetheless.  What a very insane week it has been.

At the movies:
A big roar at the box office as Godzilla vs. Kong gets a 32.2 million wide-release opening and that is near close to what an average box office would look like!  Each week more theatres open but remain at a lower capacity but still means more BITS (Butt in the seats).  Word-of-mouth is soft on this film so it may get a big drop next week.  New at #2 is The Unholy with 3.2 mil for this semi-wide release.  Drop down to #3 is "Nobody" with 3.1 mil extra and now just past 10 mil cume.  Holding ground at #4 is "Raya and the Last Dragon" with another 2.1 mil as it passes the 30 mil mark.  It will struggle to get to 40 but possible.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Tom and Jerry" with 1.4 mil and just shy of 40 mil cume, should get it in a couple of days.
