It’s the first Monday in May as I write this, and the temperatures sure feel like Summer! Personally, I love this season most of all even though I am a big Christmas/Holiday Season fan as well. The warm weather makes me want to do more, not less. Cold weather makes me stay inside and look for less adventurous things to do.

I’ve already listened to my “Summer Songs” playlist on my iPod several times. It includes many tunes I never hear on the radio anymore, including “In The Summertime” by Mungo Jerry, “Summer” by War, the recent remix of “Summer Breeze,” “The Boys Of Summer” by Don Henley, “Summer Rain” by Belinda Carlyle, “Sunshine On My Shoulders” by John Denver, “Summer’s Child” by David Lanz, “Summertime Blues” by Eddie Cochran, “Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days Of Summer” by Nat King Cole, “Saturday In The Park” by Chicago, and “Summer Of ’69” by Bryan Adams.

But since we in the club are so very interested in what happens behind the camera as well as what happens in front of it, I’m printing it here as well. I won’t do this very often, but I think this one is really worth double-dipping it.

I am 'Iron Man' 2!>>Will Iron Man 2 do well in the U.S. as some have predicted? Apparently so, if you can go by box offices around the rest of the world this past weekend, according to comingsoon.net.

The sequel to the 2008 hit grossed $100.2 million in 53 countries worldwide over the weekend, according to numerous reports. Returns from the U.K. ($12.2 million), Mexico ($7.3 million) and Russia ($8.2 million) are way ahead of opening-weekend numbers for the first Iron Man, which bodes well for its domestic release on Friday, May 7.
