Myself, back when I was still young and stupid, to see if I could short-circuit some of that stupidity.

Bill Gates. First question: Windows? What were you thinking? Then I'd kick him off the bench and make room for Steve Jobs.

And therein lies the rub, no?  Youth is wasted on the young, who squander it, and wisdom on the old, who are no longer in a position to benefit much from it.

God - of course.

Satan - he'd be pretty neat to talk to.

And finally - my friend Ari. Just to tell him I love him then sit for a while.

Jesus, I will have an eternity in conversation.

So, I would say Saint Teresa and Padre Pio.

Yes

Of course.....that's a given.   :beer:

Would still love to talk to Ronald Reagan though.....seeing as how everything he did positive for America is being systematically broken down.

To many to choose only one!

Jesus Christ
Thomas Paine
James Madison
Ben Franklin
St. George Tucker
Thomas Jefferson

For starters.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Took me a while before I could think of a serious answer: Mark Simone. The most interesting man on radio. Mark has interviewed everyone from entertainers to politicians. From Giuliani to Gingrich, and Frank Sinatra to Jerry Seinfeld, he's talked to them all.

Bless you.



I would also talk with Mom and Dad, and with my uncle George.

All had tremendous impact on the quality of my life.
