I watched Beauty and the Beast this weekend, with my youngest.
He's not so young anymore, and it feels like these two toddlers aren't either. If you haven't seen this yet, watch ... It's a fascinating and funny time-lapse.
Two toddlers escaped their cribs and held a party in their bedroom.
By the way, Beauty and the Beast was pretty good. It's a faithful representation of the original cartoon, and a reminder that while children get older and technology changes, some things don't.
I ran into YouTube sensation JP Sears at a conference this week (where Tony Robbins was going to be the keynote speaker).
If you don't know who JP Sears is ... he's funny. Some of his most popular videos are parodies on Spirituality, if meat-eaters acted like vegans, and being gluten-intolerant.
He also does a bit about what it is like to be at a Tony Robbins event.
It's mainly comedy, but there are some nuggets of truth hidden in there.
As for the Tony Robbins event, there is a lot of truth woven through lots of entertainment. And I'm always impressed by how masterfully he controls a room!
I've been to many Tony events in the past, but I get something new every time.
One of the ideas I liked was a concept he uses often ... Victory is near!
The night is always darkest before the dawn. The storm is roughest before the break. And even after the coldest, darkest, winter ... Spring appears.
If you're looking for a relatively short (but representational) glimpse at what Tony does – a good place to start is his TED talk on why we do the things that we do.
Hope you had a great week. And, remember, Winter is just about over ...
Recently, there's been a lot of talk about fake news and fact-checking the contents of the news and what public figure say. However, I haven't heard much about measuring the veracity of movies.
This site was kind of interesting.
It purports to rank the relative veracity of various movies.
For example, "Selma" is impressively accurate (as is "The Big Short") ... "The Imitation Game"? Not so much.
This interactive breakdown lets you be as "pedantic" as you want -- letting the "truth" be relatively flexible, or seating the truth-scale at "only what objectively happened".
So, where does your favorite film fall?
Pretty interesting.
Jennifer and I traveled to the Roaring Lion Ranch in Hamilton, Montana last week.
It was an amazing few days in the High Plains ... Especially since there was a major forest fire there just a few weeks ago.
Many fires, like this one, could be avoided with some common sense.
You don't have to be a rocket-scientist to understand the issues.
Koko (the gorilla is that can talk with humans using sign language) was recently informed about some nature-related issues. Then, supposedly, she was allowed to improvise.
We’re officially two weeks away from the premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.
In keeping with the spirit, here is an infographic for Star War fans to navigate the galaxy of investments. Click it to see a bigger version.

Clown Hysteria: 2016 in a Nutshell
This summer, South Carolinians started seeing menacing clowns in the woods.
As a response to clown hysteria,Target pulled clown masks from shelves , McDonalds scaled down use of Ronald McDonald, and people everywhere have been in a fervor.
Not everyone has been affected negatively though ... Surprisingly (to me), Pornhub has seen a massive increase in clown related searches.
There you have it ... hard data.
2016 continues to surprise ... Celebrities dying, phones exploding, the election, and this.
It will be interesting to see how 2016 ends, and what the future brings.
The world changes, but human nature remains relatively constant.
