Can you believe it?? May is upon us. It baffles me how time flies. One of my favorite months of the year happens to be May . . . not only is it starting to feel and look like Spring but there’s so many fun activities (And in case if you’re wondering, my favorites months include: March, May, June, and October).
Back to the present . . . here are a few things to look forward to in May:
1. There’s a LOT to keep up with in sports. The NBA and NHL playoffs will be going on most of the month. The Kentucky Derby goes down a week from tomorrow. The French Open begins on the 22nd. And the Indy 500 is on May 29th. BTW, best of luck to all who are running in the 45th Lincoln Marathon!
2. For movies, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” hits theaters next week . . . the Zac Efron horror movie “Firestarter” will be released on the 13th . . . “Downton Abbey: A New Era” is out on May 18th . . . and “Top Gun: Maverick” comes out on the 27th.
3. On TV, the series premiere of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” airs on Disney+ on May 27th. That’s also the day Season 4 of “Stranger Things” drops on Netflix. And the “Billboard Music Awards” will air on NBC on May 15th.
4. If you’re into fashion, the Met Gala is being held this coming Monday. This year’s dress code is “Gilded Glamour.”
5. And finally, the holidays: The big ones are Cinco de Mayo . . . Mother’s Day next Sunday . . . and Memorial Day on the 30th. There’s also “Star Wars” Day on May the 4th . . . No Pants Day on the 6th . . . National Eat What You Want Day on the 11th . . . National Mimosa Day on May 16th . . . and National Hamburger Day on the 28th.
And selfishly, a BIG event I’m looking forward to the most this month is my best friend’s 40th birthday excursion. Next week a big group of us are traveling to Mexico to celebrate.
Let’s go May!!
