Today’s Questions:
Where in the world would you choose to live if the only consideration were weather? In other words, if you could live in your ideal climate, where would you go and why? Feel free to name more than one place. As far as weather being the only consideration, it would have to be somewhere here in California. Other than where I am now, I would want to live in the Monterey/Carmel area of the north-central coast because the weather there is so mild and it doesn't get too hot in the summer. Also, I would move to San Diego in a heartbeat if I could find work there for pretty much the same reason.
Bonus Questions:
Do you exercise or play a sport? What do you do, and how often do you do it? I used to play tennis in high school. Nowadays I walk, and I try to do this on a daily basis, weather permitting.
Are there any sports or games that you’ve always wanted to try? Probably archery.
Are there any sports or games that you’ve tried but given up because you’re hopelessly bad? That's just about all of them!

If you had to name a dog after the last thing you ate, what would the dog be called? I had chicken fettuccine Alfredo for dinner, so I'd name him Alfredo.

Today’s Questions: Where in the world would you choose to live if the only consideration were weather? In other words, if you could live in your ideal climate, where would you go and why? Feel free to name more than one place. Northern Michigan or northern Minnesota. I love having 4 distinct seasons; love snow and cold in winter. I could be very happy in the UP or upper MN.
Bonus Questions: Do you exercise or play a sport? I exercise most every day. What do you do, and how often do you do it? I walk a lot and also do aerobics in my home and do the full-body basic workout on my Simply Fit board almost every day; often twice a day.
Are there any sports or games that you’ve always wanted to try? I'm not too good at spots, but I did well when I went kayaking a couple of years ago. I'd love to go kayaking often in the spring, summer and fall months. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity nor the time to do that.
Are there any sports or games that you’ve tried but given up because you’re hopelessly bad? I'm not at all good at running. Walking and power walking, I'm in. But running - forget it!
Just for Fun: If you had to name a dog after the last thing you ate, what would the dog be called? Chocolate!

Today is: 2017 Academy Awards I'll pass. I'm mildly interested in seeing the fashions on the red carpet, but I don't like watching awards shows. National Pistachio Day Yum. I only recently developed a love for pistachios (maybe a couple of years ago). Now I love them. National Tell a Fairy Tale Day Once upon a time....... Carnival Day Carnivals are fun!
Happy Sunday, everybody!

Let me reiterate: Don't let work or any other consideration such as family or real estate prices or having to learn another language affect your choice. Just pick the perfect place for you based on climate alone.
Today’s Questions:
Where in the world would you choose to live if the only consideration were weather? In other words, if you could live in your ideal climate, where would you go and why? Feel free to name more than one place. I am going to stick to my Maryland. Four distinct Seasons. Maryland does have high humidity during the Summer months--which is a total ugh factor, but it only last a few weeks. I would consider North Carolina and Rhode Island also--they have good weather and good scenery just like Maryland.

I would miss the snow but San Diego has the best weather in America
Bonus Questions:
Do you exercise or play a sport? What do you do, and how often do you do it?
Hate exercise. Working out is like lying on a gravel driveway and scraping rust off a muffler, just a miserable experience. I used to be very active, golf three times a week, now more like three times a month.
Are there any sports or games that you’ve always wanted to try?
I was always good at sports, not sure there is one I wanted to try.
Are there any sports or games that you’ve tried but given up because you’re hopelessly bad?
Not really.
Just for Fun:

Fried Chicken, Mac and Cheese and Mango Salsa. I may have trouble getting a dog tag large enough to print that name.
