1) Thunder crashes want to make you mine: A chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after noon. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. Areas of fog before 11 a.m. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 79. Southeast wind between 5 and 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40 percent. Tonight, showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before 2 a.m. Areas of dense fog after 11 p.m. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 65. Southwest wind between 6 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70 percent. (Forecast by the National Weather Service.)

2) We'll sing our prom theme: The Melrose High School Class of 2012 will have its Senior Prom tonight at the Hyatt Harborside in Boston.

3) If you don't know what you're doing, babe it must be art: The Milano Senior Center holds for $5 per session. Any media and all skill levels are welcome.

4) Marry me, John, I'll be so good to you: Your editor would like to take a moment of personal privilege in this morning's 5 Things to publicly congratulate his older brother Chris and his new sister-in-law Teresa on their marriage. Also: If anyone finds that missing cufflink, I'd be much obliged. It's somewhere between Newton, Southie and Dorchester, which I think forms the Bermuda Triangle for wedding tuxedo rentals.

5) My plan of action: Cheesy 80s songs! Here's our repeating lineup of weekly features that run each Tuesday on Melrose Patch:

• Police Log: I usually get the log on Mondays from the Melrose Police Department and bring you a recap on Tuesdays.

• Poll Results: Every Wednesday we run a poll about a timely issue on Melrose Patch, and the following Tuesday, we'll bring you the results and invite you to continue the conversation.
