I grew up very poor. I excelled in school and enjoyed much of it, but there were two particularly hard days, every year: the first day of school and the first day after Christmas break.

I saw a lazy Susan at TJ Maxx and said oh I want that! My daughter asked why and I said so I can put dinner on it and we can spin it around and grab what we want, it reminds me of my childhood, your grandmother had one. She said so you’re gonna put our doordash orders on it?
Some nights I let the kids pick their wake-up playlist for the next morning.
Last night my son picked Green Day.

Sam Bennett is in the hunt to win the Masters. He also has a swagger unlike anyone else who’s trying to pull off an all-time stunner. on.wsj.com/3GoBnYQ
