Heads up! Here are 5 things you want to know today.

They say health is wealth, yes? Work with me here...and laughter is the best medicine, so laughing a lot is very good for us. Ergo, today is Laugh and Get Rich Day according to the National Day Calendar.

"The biggest benefit of laughter is that it improves our health. Laughing can elevate our mood, lower stress and blood pressure, and strengthen the immune system. In this way, laughter makes us rich because health is wealth, after all," they say.

Ok, it's a bit of a stretch but try to get a few yuks going today and see if it works for you.

1. Expect a sunny Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service at Mt. Holly, NJ. The high temp should be near 50 degrees, so it's almost time to start thinking about your 2023 tan. Tonight will get cloudy, however, with a low around 31 degrees.

2. A popular Easton restaurant is on its way back this week after a fire forced it to close last year. And those cinnamon bun pancakes look amazing.

3. King Kone has moved to its new digs right across the street from its original location. And it has sundaes for dogs!

4. ArtsQuest is taking its popular outdoor concerts on the road. But only as far as Upper Macungie, fortunately.

5. And though it may not bring a laugh (see above), the City of Allentown is planning a new hotel and music venue
