keep up your light-heartedness, Simon! i didn't take this thread the wrong way. i saw it as you trying to have fun! well, if you really want me to be more open, i can be, but it will be a verrrrrrrry long response. like you, there's just no way i can narrow it down to one person. and you know me, i tend to talk a lot. i won't be concise. I can talk about all the people i admire and why but that will take some time. i can't even narrow it down to one place i want to go on vacation! i want to go everywhere! no way can i narrow it down to a single person i admire. i can do a hot 20 maybe. Can i narrow it down to 20 people???? let me think about it. Well i'm working double shifts today and tomorrow. wish i had more time. anyway, your thread made me think about going on a cruise with RR members and thinking about that and what kind of an adventure that would be like made me smile. so thanks! i'm silly. i'm sheila. ta-ta!!! :)
