Birthday Dinner Guests
The turkey is in the oven, it's pouring down rain here at Becketthaus, and I've got a few idle minutes to blog.
I gave some thought to which august personages I would invite to my 51st birthday dinner table... way, Way, WAY too much thought as I'm sure you'll all agree, but it was fun nonetheless. So if I had the chance, I'd be dining with the following folks on my 51st birthday.
Roger Ebert
Alton Brown
Denzel Washington
Anne-Sophie Mutter
Ellen DeGeneres
Jon Krakauer
Pete Dunne
Not a bad list don't you think? Wikipedia can tell you who they all are with the exception, perhaps, of Pete Dunne. He's a noted birding author and director of the Cape May Bird Observatory. What's a 51st birthday dinner without some serious birding talk?
Now if you'll excuse me... now that I have my fantasy invite list decided I can go think about my fantasy dinner menu. Won't this fantasy work EVER end?
K-
Good list. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday, Kem.
Thinking of those people who won't attend your party reminds me of the Cheers episode when Cliff was on Jeopardy - and, of course, choked. The answer was, I think, "Archibald Leach and Norma Jean Baker." Cliff's response: "Who are two people who are not in my kitchen right now?"
Wishing you the best when you land on a Double Jeopardy and a very happy birthday, too.
