If you could have a dinner party for ten including self and could invite anybody (dead or alive) who would you invite? I think I would invite Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, John Lennon, Marianne Williamson, Leo Buscaglia, Linus Pauling, Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood and Christopher Hitchens.

Nope - I find it very interesting to see who is sitting down at the table, how many men vs. women, and how I imagine the conversations to go. Intriguing.
