    Pick a person, any person...living or dead... to have lunch with....

    What would you ask? What would be your chosen topic of discussion? Who would you want to spend, say, two hours with over a great meal?

    Would it be a politician? Would it be a military hero? Would it be a movie star?

    My mom. She has a way of making all my stresses in life seem trivial and they melt away as we talk about life.

    My wife says she would want to have lunch with Thomas Jefferson, and would ask him what his vision was for the future of the United States...and why he thought this 'Grand Experiment' called Democracy would work...

    Good Answer!

    Plato, Aristotle, Nietschze, Kierkegaard, or many others. not just to discuss their philosophies, but to see how truly brilliant minds work.

    Hands down, it would be Tenzin Gyatso. He did wonders for Steve Wynn's management skills that also pertain to how he manages his personal life, so who else would be better?

    My father, who died 15 months ago. The topics would be simple:

    How great of a job he did as a Dad and don't worry we're taking care of Mom just like we promised you we would.
    Tell me what its REALLY like up there!!!
    And, oh yeah, you are missed. A LOT.

    My great grandfather, G. W. Haltom. I sure could use some of his wisdom now.

    Lunch with a dead person? Sounds pretty creepy.

    Thomas Edison, discuss business tactics. Such an intense business man he thought sleeping was a waste of time.

    I did this very topic a couple of years ago, but I had to say 'except a family member' because most everyone chose a parent or grandparent. Not that there is anything wrong with that: I'd love to talk to my dad, who passed away in 1966, but outside the family would have more 'interesting' choices.

    You know you are getting old when the birth date of your current centerfold is the year you retired :D
