Mmmmmmmm……..hands down, without a question, no doubt about it…BENICIO DEL TORO!! I would lick him like a lollypop should be licked!!! *disclamier* I am always in the dark with my husband, and I love my husband, but com’on, this is BDT!!*

I’ve asked hundreds of people: of all your moments in life what memory would you chose, if you could chose just one to live with eternity? The answers are unforgettable and go to the core of the person’s bliss, plus reveal what qualities of being they require in life to feel contentment, beauty, purpose, peace. My ‘eternal memory’ was sunset December 24, my first husband’s birthday and when our son was home from college. He and I across the street from our place in Santa Barbara for a walk on the beach at sunset. A bright star was over Anacapa Island, which looked like Ithaca and everything was a magical golden-pink. I love my son more than anything in the Milky Way and would be happy in eternity in that moment. But the person I would choose for Earth Hour would be his dad who I married at 17. He’s been dead for 20 years and I think of him everyday. He’d appreciate Earth Hour and be full of giggles, thoughtful comments and affectionate fun.

My husband and I always have time in the dark, which is usually a pretty good time, so, I’d have to say my 7 year old granddaughter who lives in Texas with her parents. Not just because I love her more then I can hardly stand, but, because of her wide-eyed wonder and delight in learning about life and the why of things. I can imagine her and I cuddling in blankets on my deck here in the foothills of the Rockies in just candle and starlight, both whispering, giggling, and making wishes on one star after another.

A man that loves me with or without lights!

If (and only IF) my sweetie wasn’t available (and we do spend a lot of time in the dark - it would HAVE to be George Clooney. He seems like such fun, a sexy, adorable, full of humor (even laughing at himself frequently) gentleman - that an hour - any time of day with him - would be a total blast!

Anybody or Everybody. Alone also sounds good. But of course sharing with the hubby sounds good too. When we bought our first house years ago we had hardly any neighbors as the subdivision was very new. We used to lay out in the bed of the pickup truck, talk and look at the stars. We witnessed a couple of meteor showers, Hale Bopp and random falling stars were fairly common. There were no house lights or street lamps. It was really dark and very awesome. Now I have an entire neighborhood and a street lamp directly across the street. We don’t have the pick up truck anymore but we do have some pretty cool lounge chairs. I can’t wait!

GOD. To discover whether I am as truly enlightened as I feel I am.

Although If I was in the presence of GOD, would we actually be in the dark?

In the dark, on a deserted island, it doesn’t matter where; as long as I’m with Jonny Depp….

It’s a secret. I can’t tell you. I have someone in mind, but if I say it out loud or put it into print, the entire sentient universe would laugh at me.
