New Year's Edition

So we said goodbye to 2021, another turbulent year but honestly, not as crazy as the past four before that were.  Still not great but not as terrible as it MASSIVELY could have been. But from my perspective things have levelled off instead of going down and that is a good thing.  Overall prices of goods have increased but not as bad last year than the previous 3.  Traffic is back, that is a bummer and this current Winter feels like Winter!  I mean that is just a thing of nature but just throwing that in there because last year really sucked.  We have rain again, and it's cold!  I normally do not mind the cold but I haven't been able to use my heater for one reason or another but I want to!!  Well, 2022 what do you got?

Weekly Update:
The legendary Betty White passed this pass Friday.  She was going to be 100-years old on January 17th and everyone was announcing and planning her big day.  A bit of a shame she didn't make it and from all I heard she was in fine health but at 99, that is a legacy no doubt and what a big one she had.  From film and TV acting to a lot of charity work, especially with animals (primarily dogs).  She was often jokingly said to be older than sliced bread (invented around 1928) and outlived all her co-stars from the TV show "Golden Girls," not to mention probably many more.  She will be remembered a lot, beloved by so many and be entertainment royalty that kept us smiling.  Good night Betty, rest well.

At the movies:
Another holiday weekend and another win for Spidey!  Hanging on to #1 is "Spider-Man: No Way Home" with another 52.7 million and now just over 600 mil for domestic cume.  Holding a note at #2 is "Sing 2" with 19.6 mil extra and getting very close to the 100 mil mark, should get it within the week.  Moving up to #3 is "The King's Man" with 4.5 mil and not the numbers they were hoping for.  Also moving up to #4 is "American Underdog" with 4.1 mil more and will slowly drop.  Big drop to #5 is "The Matrix Resurrections" with 3.8 mil and may not even hit 50 mil cume at this rate.

Quote of the week:
"Sincerity is the way to heaven." - Mencius

Facts & Tips:
Mercury and Venus are the only planets in our solar system with no moon.

"Look something's wrong with me.  I don't know what, but something is very, very wrong with me.  I'm remembering things I shouldn't know." - Zachary Levi as Chuck Bartowski in the TV series "Chuck."
