THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I feel horrible about something I did last week. My brother was married very young. He was divorced about ten years ago. I'm a single guy and I went to a super bowl party at a friend's house. My brother's ex wife was there. By the end of the night it was just the two of us and the friend who was hosting the party. I had been drinking a little so my brother's ex wife offered me a ride home. When we got to my place, she joined me for “one last drink”, but that turned into a little sleep over. I felt bad right away, but then I thought about it and I really didn't do anything wrong, right? My brother has moved on. He is remarried with three beautiful kids. I'm a single guy, she is a single lady. We used to have a connection when she was my sister-in-law, but now we don't really have any reason not to see one another, do we? So far this was a one time thing. We have talked a few times since the party, but just on the phone. I think about her quite a bit, but do you think it would be wrong for me to pursue her? I'm not even sure she would be open to it. It may have been a one time thing for her. What do you think? Should I try to see her again?
Signed – Maybe Bad Brother

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
At what age do you think your physical ability peaks? 18? 24? 27? Nope. According to a Swedish study, human physical ability peaks around age 35 and begins a gradual decline soon after…but researchers stress it’s never too late to benefit from exercise. Scientists at the Karolinska Institutet tracked more than 400 men and women born in 1958 over 47 years, regularly measuring fitness and strength from ages 16 to 63. The study found physical capacity starts decreasing by the mid-30s, with losses accelerating over time and totaling 30% to 48% by age 63, regardless of gender. They also found that people who became active later in life improved their physical capacity by 5-10%, showing exercise can slow — though not stop — the decline.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Tom Hanks has played many characters in period movies, along with real-life personalities including pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and Walt Disney, but never a U.S. president – until now. The 2-time Oscar winner is set to play Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, in the new live-action/stop-motion animation hybrid movie “Lincoln in the Bardo”, based on George Saunders’ New York Times bestseller and 2017 Booker Prize winner. In the film,, which will employ a unique blend of stop-motion animation and live action, Hanks will portray a live-action version of Lincoln.
Lily Collins’ latest role has been a long time coming. The “Emily in Paris” star is set to play Audrey Hepburn in an upcoming movie about the making of the classic film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Collins confirmed the news in an Instagram post on Monday, writing: “It’s with almost 10 years of development and a lifetime of admiration and adoration for Audrey that I’m finally able share this.” She continued, saying: “Honored and ecstatic don’t begin to express how I feel.” The movie is based on the Sam Wasson book “Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the Dawn of the Modern Woman,” which chronicles the making of Hepburn’s iconic 1961 romantic comedy.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
Burger King is breaking all the corporate rules — by handing diners the ultimate VIP line: the president’s phone number. Last week, President Tom Curtis shared his personal phone number, inviting diners to call or text him with complaints, ideas, or feedback. In a TikTok video, he said: “Guests are our most important advisors,” and promised to respond personally whenever possible. The chain credits customer input for innovations like the ‘Million Dollar Whopper’ and tech updates, and hopes this move will strengthen the brand by listening to customers firsthand. Whether this builds genuine connections – or just crowdsources ideas for free – remains to be seen. Curtis is standing by: Call or text him at (305) 874-0520.

WEIRD NEWS
I guess AI isn’t quite ready to act as your wedding planner. A Dutch couple’s ultra-modern wedding went viral after their vows — written with the help of ChatGPT — accidentally left out legally required language. Months later, a court ruled they weren’t married at all. The mishap has become a cautionary tale as more couples turn to AI for planning help. While chatbots can suggest venues, vendors, budgets and even vows, wedding professionals warn the advice is often inaccurate, outdated or unrealistic — especially for large or destination weddings. Experts say AI works best for tight budgets and early inspiration, but human planners remain essential for legal details, real-world logistics, vetted vendors – and to keep big days from unraveling.
