Some weeks I sit down to write about entertainment and my slightly twisted sense of humor makes me laugh thinking about events of the past week.

I covered a tornado and hail storm, I spent three days working on the same difficult news story, and I spent more than two hours writing another story containing a lot technical information.

This is what my co-workers and I like to call a case of the Mondays where every day of the week is a Monday. These are always the weeks when you learn a lot but are exhausted by the end of it. So the relaxing but fun entertainment approaching this weekend is much needed and looked forward to.

I get to enjoy Heritage Days today with a lot of family entertainment, including food, music and a parade then Saturday and Sunday will include some good old fashioned friend time in which I look forward to seeing a long-absent friend and being cooked for by another. Yes, it is going to be a good weekend indeed.

Look for a schedule of Heritage Days events in today’s newspaper.
