I regret not going to (old) Yankee Stadium for game 6 of the 1981 World Series and getting a ticket from a scalper. That was my best chance to see the Dodgers win a World Series in person until 2017 (when they were cheated out of it by the bastros.)

Turned my life around in my 20s (I struggled in my early 20s for any motivation/direction).
If you could spend 1 week anywhere in the world where would it be?

In the summer, at a beach resort in Cape May, NJ.

What's better a hot day or a cold day?

To me, a hot day is preferable to a cold one.

Which is the worst, hail, snow, or sleet?

 

[Edge]

Out of those 3 I'd say snow (but freezing rain is worse than all 3 of those).
