Attack of the Killer Corks

Good morning! And welcome to another edition of Lifestyle PTC—the only newsletter endorsed by Biggie Smalls. As such, we recommend sipping champagne when you’re thirsty.

Just make sure you also hydrate with water. It’s still warm outside.

And don’t mention this at your next physical. 😉 

Speaking of champagne, apparently more people die from taking corks to the face than from shark attacks every year. I’m not sure if that’s really true, but for the sake of needing content, I’m not going to dig into the details too much.

Alright. Hit my word count target. Let’s get to this week’s events!

Featured Event(s)

Nothing popped up this week that could dethrone Light Up the Corners or Uptown Funk.

So guess what? We’re gonna feature them again.

The fun run is for a good cause. And the fun band is for a good time.

You can’t go wrong!
