    What did you do?

    3 miles at 6am when it was still only 60 degrees. I'm still pleasantly surprised at how well these early morning runs have gone.

    What did you do?

    80 miles is a lot of running for one month! I've never done that. How many miles do you typically get out of shoes? I know they say you can get 350-450 miles out of shoes, but after around 250 miles I notice a difference in cushioning. I'll retire the shoes from running duty (there's a...

    What did you do?

    Thanks for the welcome, @dreamfinder! I plan to take running shoes to WDW the next time I'm there. When I know which resort, I'll have to post here for potential routes. I normally run right before lunch or right before dinner, but today (like Tuesday) I ran right before breakfast. Speed was...

    What did you do?

    I always assumed this thread was about running at WDW. I haven't done that, though a co-worker did one of the Star Wars runs. It sounds like it would be incredibly cool. I typically run 3-4 times/week, anywhere from 3-7 miles. I only run outdoors and will run at all temperatures, though I've...

    WDW Reopening Estimates

    Once there's an approved treatment (not a vaccine), everything opens in full.

    Disney World Jungle Cruise Boat Sinks - Create Your Own Joke!

    "I would pull out the life boats, but they were removed to improve ride throughput by adding more seats for guests. Ironically, it's the weight of the extra guests that's taking us down. I would suggest those extra guests get tossed overboard, but that would be going overboard."

    Survivor S40: Winners at War

    EoE is worse than the idol glut, by a long shot. I'm still not sure I'm even going to watch this season, and I've seen every show since S1E1.

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    As I recall, Return of the Jedi was very well-received even by casual fans, myself included. There was criticism of the Ewoks, and it was viewed as the worst of the three movies, but it was still lauded. Oddly, Rise of Skywalker and Revenge of the Sith, while inferior movies, have one thing on...

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    Overall fan ratings (from Rotten Tomatoes): 97% The Empire Strikes Back 96% A New Hope 94% Return of the Jedi 86% The Force Awakens, The Rise of Skywalker 66% Revenge of the Sith 59% The Phantom Menace 56% Attack of the Clones 43% The Last Jedi I'd quibble a little with The Force Awakens being...

    Survivor S40: Winners at War

    Your options on fixing EoE are outstanding. I can't stand the whole idea of EoE, and it resulted in the least deserving winner and least satisfying conclusion in the show's history. The only logical explanation for bringing this train wreck of an idea back are the reasons @PUSH posted. While...

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    I think we can all agree that the trilogy should have been better mapped out up front. I think we can also all agree that Adam Driver was a standout performer. I thought Daisy Ridley was great, too. I think we can also all agree that "success" is measured in different ways. Short-term...

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    Rise of Skywalker is a visually stunning, exciting, and deeply satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker Saga.

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Reactions: SPOILERS

    TLJ failed miserably. It was inconsistent with the established universe of the Skywalker Saga, illogically changed an established character, failed to take the baton from the first part of its trilogy, and failed to pass a baton to the third part in the trilogy. Terrible storytelling...

    Survivor S39: Island of the Idols

    Other than Rob and Sandra, the second half of this season is a dumpster fire.

    Soarin Over the World, percentage of CGI?

    I had no idea so much of the new Soarin' was CGI. I haven't felt this way since I heard that the J. Geils Band song "Centerfold" was a complete work of fiction. Sometimes it's just better not to know.

    Survivor S39: Island of the Idols

    Karishma has blindedly stumbled into every strategic-looking move she's made. It hasn't been due to her game play. I agree she has at least some self-awareness to know she's this season's goat, which led her to the obvious decision to use the idol, but she is this season's goat. Dean's an...

    Survivor S39: Island of the Idols

    The Survivor tradition of goats began back in Season 5 - Thailand. The runner-up to the slimy car salesman winner was a trollish guy named Clay who nobody liked. Didn't help around camp, and people resented him for it. This season's goat is unquestionably the thoroughly unlikable sloth...

    Survivor S39: Island of the Idols

    It was an ugly episode and probably the messiest in Survivor history. Everyone (with the notable exception of Janet) was tarnished. I hope this season can bounce back from this.

    Survivor S39: Island of the Idols

    What a difference a season makes. Last season was horrible with the least deserving winner in the show's history. This season is far more interesting. The contestants are a good mix, and Rob and Sandra are a fun and occasionally insightful diversion. I was struck, similar to @PUSH, with...
