65. Tough decision

Thu Mar 19, 2020, 05:53 PM

Mar 2020

MY first instinct is Thomas Jefferson, but I might get frustrated that the 21 days might go by too quickly.

Maybe Anna Chapman, that Russian spy that Joe Biden said it wasn't HIS idea to send home? I think 21 days might be just the right amount of time to learn a thing or two without it being so long that I would get a heart attack from the excess strain.

Samuel Clemens would be ideal as long as he doesn't get to bring his cigars.

With Jefferson or Mark Twain, at least I'd come back with more great quotes than I could ever memorize.
With Anna Chapman, I would (if the rumors were true) have enough information to write a best-selling supplement to the Kama Sutra and be set for life.

Decisions, decisions..........
