Happy Monday!
Tuxedo season is upon us.
The first few days of fall when the weather begins to pivot towards snow flurries (“Winter is coming…”) confirms the holiday season is here and that we must bundle up like the little brother in A Christmas Story. You can already here that cry in the distance:
“Ralphie…Ralphie!”
The bottom line is that we need to, as Barney Stinson would say, “Winter suit up!” And nobody dons a winter suit/tuxedo quite like a penguin. What’s more is that a penguin not only looks sharp, but a penguin also knows how to have fun at the same time.
The perfect way to start a Monday.
Have a Dance-Worthy Week!
Fantastic Mouthwash and Where to Find It
Is packing a suitcase for the airport a grand metaphor for life’s journey?
Perhaps.
However, what we all know for certain about packing for a flight is that it takes time, planning and readjustment after readjustment. Why isn’t my suitcase large enough? How can I fit these shoes in? Why do I pack that shirt because I never end up wearing it? The most stressful part of this activity, though, is abiding by the strict guidelines as determined by the TSA. In case you’ve forgotten, their attention to detail is measured not in pounds, but in ounces.
Maybe these restrictions on liquids and soaps is why there are so many CVS and Duane Reade stores in cities with the busiest airports? Guaranteed foot traffic after countless flights for tourists and visitors.
As demonstrated in the video below, packing a suitcase for the airport can be a fantastic, beast of a challenge.
Remember: Free mouthwash at the hotel!
J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is playing in a theater near you.
You Can’t Stop This Feeling with Siblings
Older siblings have always wondered about their younger brother or sister…
Being an uncle is not only about spending time with and goofing around with nieces and nephews, but also having a legitimate reason to see the newest animated movie as an adult. It’s true. Having been hooked by JT’s (Justin Timberlake’s) catchy song of the summer, “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” for several months, I was looking forward to seeing the movie that featured this song and those famous, crazy-haired troll dolls my older sisters collected way back when.
“Trolls” is in theaters and, lucky for me, one of my nieces invited me to see the latest film in the DreamWorks film roll. Now, since “Trolls” is still new, no spoilers will follow. Instead, what caught my eye was a preview for a new animation from the same movie studio that might have also caught the eye of my niece. She is an older sister to twin baby boys and, perhaps, the trailer below rang somewhat true with her…
and me as well, the youngest of three kids.
Well played, DreamWorks…well played.
P.S. Apparently, political commentator and former Florida congressman Joe Scarborough is the inspiration for the animated father.
