    Scottie Scheffler & Nelly Korda

    Scottie looks and acts like your local insurance agent who's out for his weekly outing with his group--then he kills it. It's fun watching him win.

    How old were you when you first went abroad?

    Is Canada (from the US) "abroad"? If so, 15. If not, 25, when I was in the Navy.

    slo’s MONDAY 4/22 poll - Disney Parks Dining 🍽️

    For a full day in the parks we eat 2 QS and have a snack. TS prices are ridiculous, especially for what you get. Over the years we gradually marked our old TS favorites off our list, one by one, until there were none left we'd spend that (enormous) amount of money on.

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    Report back and let us know what it's like! I'd love to do it, but DW wants to have a home base. We're going to Europe September-December this year and I hope it'll whet her appetite for nomad life.

    What do you wish you could eat?

    I've been on a diet since March and lost 16 lbs so far, so pretty much anything. :D

    What's your favourite Disney memory?

    DW and I went to F&W in October, 2010 on an empty-nester trip. Disney was still recovering from the recession and crowds were very low. Weather was perfect and we had a great time. There was 1 day at MK when we showed up at 11 and the park closed at 7 and we still did everything we wanted to...

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    Assuming the premise of the question is correct (in a lot of the country, it's not), it's probably because the "McMansions" sell well and make the builders profit. Otherwise they'd sit empty and builders would build something different.

    slo’s FRIDAY 4/19 poll - Green Olives vs Black Olives

    Kalamatas are my favorite. I could eat them in just about anything.

    slo’s THURSDAY 4/18 poll - Michael Buble 🎶🎤

    Not my first choice, but DW really likes him. I took her to a Michael Buble/Straight No Chaser concert for Valentine's Day about 15 years ago. It was a very good concert. I like that he does a lot of the old standards. That's timeless music and I'm glad that someone popular is keeping it going...

    slo’s WEDNESDAY 4/17 poll - Aquariums (at home) 🐟🐠

    I've had fresh water tropical aquariums twice--once when I was little and again several years ago. I had guppies, tetras, swordfish, catfish, etc. I love having an aquarium but hate the work to keep them going.

    what was your diet when you were a student?

    I didn't realize how good our college dining hall was until I was out on my own and having to buy the food, cook it and clean up after myself.

    slo’s TUESDAY 4/16 poll - Jelly Donuts

    Love them, but at this point in my life when I fancy a donut I say, "Not today, Satan." :D

    What is the worst movie you have seen at the cinema?

    I tried to watch the remake of Breathless with Richard Gere and walked out. It was so boring.

    What was your favourite date night to have with your parents growing up?

    On Saturday evenings we would all go to a local pizza place. Mom & Dad sat in one booth and we sat in another, and we could order whatever we wanted. It made us feel so grown up, even though they were in the booth right next to us.

    slo’s FRIDAY 4/12 poll - Golfing 🏌🏻🏌🏻‍♀️

    DW retired and tried golf. To her surprise, she discovered she loved it (she's a big hitter!). She had me buy a set of used clubs and I'll go out with her on pitch and putt courses and try not to embarrass myself too badly. But I wouldn't say I'm a golfer, at least not yet.

    Malware on this site?

    Makes sense, thanks. I use Safari on mobile and 1Blocker works for me, but I think it's Safari-only so wouldn't help with Chrome.

    Malware on this site?

    Is there a reason why people don't install ad blockers on their computers/devices? I use them and never have these.

    What was your health like when you were a child?

    I missed 46 days of school in 1st grade, 24 in 2nd. I was tested for allergies and after I started taking shots my absences dropped to 3-4/school year.
