Man of (Blue) Steel
We’ve been looking at the world all wrong.
With the weekend here, the time has come to hit the ground running for a memorable couple of days. However, there are so many unknown variables to consider, which begs for the right preparation before venturing out into the wild west of life. We must take full advantage of the things we can control.

This is not a show prop.
To celebrate tonight’s 200th Big Bang Theory episode (with a cameo from TV’s Batman Adam West), the real city where the fictional show takes place made a real proclamation to honor the fictional show’s impact in the real world.
February 25th is officially, “The Big Bang Theory Day” in the southern California city that harbors scientific genius at Caltech and the most delicious cheesecake in Los Angeles.

The science-based sitcom will, years after its finale (whenever that is) leave a sustaining mark on Pasadena. Many sitcoms are based in or generically around large cities, like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle and Los Angeles. Few are set in a specific, real-life community. The setting for The Big Bang Theory has (evidently) become its own leading character. Real restaurants, streets, destinations and schools are frequently mentioned in the show’s dialogue and plot lines.
The city of Pasadena means many things to many people, residents and visitors alike. The Rose Bowl parade certainly comes to mind. Ultimately, Pasadena is a familiar suburb within opulent Los Angeles.
And now there’s proof that Pasadena is the spot for the amalgamation of science and comedy.
I Came, I Saw, I Froze

That’s the expected low temperature tomorrow morning in Columbus, Ohio. 5. A single digit on the barometer.
Translation: Stay inside.
If you do venture outside, however, remember to cover your eyes. They can freeze.
And a trip to Macy’s can wait because that Santa tie will still be there a week before Christmas 2016.
