Who’s Coming to Dinner?
I have an interesting question: If you were throwing a dinner party and you could invite anyone at all, who would you have?
Our dining room table has eight chairs so that leaves six free for guests. I’ve been thinking about it for a while and here’s my first draft of who and why :
1) Shelagh Rogers – I’ve listened to her on the radio for 15 years and have always wanted to meet her. An interviewer would be an excellent conversationalist.
2) Clint Eastwood – He’s been an actor, a director, and the mayor of his hometown. The man is well rounded and I think he would be interesting to talk to. Also, every dinner party needs a movie star.
3) Mr. Graham – He was my high school math teacher. Mr. Graham was one of those teachers that made you look forward to going to class and he’s a large part of why I ended up in Math at Waterloo.
4) Lauren Graham – She would ensure that there would be no awkward moments of silence because she talks constantly. And, she’s a good poker player so if dinner eventually turned into a poker party we’d be all set.
5) Mike Rowe – The man has had more jobs than almost anyone on the planet, plus he’s just plain funny.
6) Jean Chrétien – Because every dinner party needs a crazy old french guy!
I’d be interested to know who you would invite to supper. Please leave a comment.
In a future instalment I’ll list the dead people I would invite to supper.
