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

Great pick! Wish I could do that too - but my young and stupid self would probably not listen to me.   :chairbang:

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.

Robert Heinlein

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.

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.

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.

Depends.

Would there be firearms involved?

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.

To be honest, at first I thought...why would I want to lose that person...to have that person fade away in exactly one hour...to lose them all over again.

And then I thought of that kind of love you shared and said..."if only for few seconds".
