who are the
number one through four guests (from any place or time on earth) on
your bucket list?

john f. kennedy (he is simply my favorite public person of all time)

stunned ...i'd have guessed frank porter graham.

roy black (the greatest trial lawyer i have ever seen)

surprised... univ of miami school of law 1970... g. but i agree about
his unique individual talent.

justice william brennan (favorite supreme court justice)

another surprise...though i reckon he matches your equitable and politic
legal temperament. too mild for me...william o, in his later years, and
thurgood...they'll do in a nearsighted, selfish wish for my own sense of
right at that level of decision-making.

diane keaton

i expected a woman, and she is a worthy choice. but a final surprise
nonetheless. i get it, i think. annie hall and all. still, i believe
the other guests you have selected, together with the aphrodisia of the
oysters, will require the inclusion of a younger woman who can meet
certain needs in a satisfactory and athletic manner after all the fine
conversation and dining is concluded... i kinda like that woman on
"weeds"...

now, this was simply my comment about your list...not to suggest my own.
frankly, i'd be much more of a hedonist. someone that cooks a good meal
for us, someone that plays/sings good music, someone that makes us happy
with shared laughter, and a philosopher with an ability to teach/provoke
life lessons in an enjoyable, captivating manner. (hell, wayno, you've
done 3 of the 4 on occasion) if they are each a lovely woman, more
better...but the acceptable choices are simply too great for any
narrowing by me. an impossible task. those of you who have a fixed list
are remarkably decisive in my view. i bow and aspire to such crisp,
confident decisions.

menu: fried oysters from any fish house in calabash, n.c., la crema
chardonnay, pecan pie as made by patsy yelton of rowan county, nc, and a
bailey's to top things off.

....any fish house?? i fear you've sampled too few in that area. some
are a guarantee of hepatitis from my few sojourns down thataway. have
you tried hyde county oyster fritters?? lawd, lawdy, lawd!!! just don't
study the cooks too intently...it'll detract from the meal.
