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? Mike in Kuwait
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! Mike in Kuwait
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.
I think it would great to have lunch with Johnny Carson.... he was, in my opinion, one of the best... RIP Mike in Kuwait
William, Just curious... would that be the same G.W. Haltom who start Haltom's Jewelers? Mike in Kuwait
Wow, tough question.... My pool, off the top of my head... Alexander Hamilton Wyatt Earp Doc Holiday Teddy Roosevelt Charlton Heston Ronald Reagan Jimmy Stewart Thomas Paine William Wallace Winston Churchill Wow, and that was just the first minute or so... Maybe I should make it a dinner party? Shiny Side Up! Bill
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.
