Weather’s Awakening
Global warming.
Climate change.
Global cooling.
As climate scientists at national and international institutions continue to change their minds as to what the exact disastrous term should be used regarding their apparent Kung-Fu grip on weather, meteorologists provide the public with daily weather observations and insights. To be blunt, their job really is to tell us coat-or-no-coat.
And yet, they don’t always make the right prediction.
However, one British meteorologist did something that was all kinds of right during yesterday’s newscast.
A beautiful woman who has a stunning smile, a cute accent, a great sense of humor and is a fan of Star Wars (with no ring on the left hand).

The Force is Surprising with This One
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but a new Star Wars movie arrives in theaters this Friday. And if the movie promotions in virtually every segment imaginable (toys, food, cars, jewelry, etc.) are any indication, a few people may end up seeing the seventh episode of this space epic.
To celebrate the triumphant return of the Star Wars cinematic universe, the next few blog posts will focus on the highly-anticipated J.J. Abrams-directed Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
On a completely random note, what would you do if you were tossed a lightsaber?

Always remember to wake up with the force because, well, you never know…
Happy Monday!
Bill Pullman’s speech as President Thomas J. Whitmore in Independence Day gave us goosebumps back in 1996.
That same speech is being used to excite us all over again nearly 20 years later. You could say that declarative message of grit, inspiration and bravery is experiencing a resurgence.
Yeah, I have chills too.
Have a Great Week!
P.S. Will Smith, what could’ve been…
The Shots Heard ‘Round the World
The ’80s will light the fire within us for the rest of time…
The freshman CBS sitcom Life in Pieces has gotten better and better with each new episode. The punchlines aren’t rushed, but are developed with patience and precision. And last night’s third act not only solidified its place on Thursday’s prime time lineup, but revealed why its unique storytelling structure for the American sitcom was a great choice. Each of the family stories are initially told separately, then are cleverly interwoven. The show’s conclusion is a culmination of everybody facing and/or resolving their problems together.
After watching last night’s final scene live, I quickly tweeted about it. Once you see it below, you’ll know why.
The screenshot of said tweet is below, with two notable “likes.” Those “likes” are Maggie Mull (Life in Pieces writer) and Jason Winer (Life in Pieces director).
Oh snack! snap! (episode joke)
