Kind of like them all if properly cooked and served...movies, to many to list, if God were at my door, he has been before, and yes, I let him in...t'was interesing expereince...relative, my door has been open to most of them, but I think I'd let my grandfather in, he was to old to travel the last time I saw him....and he told me he felt very bad about us being out here and so far away from them back there growing up...and he felt bad about my mother might needing help through the years also. I heard after his house burnt down in an fire, he lost everything... he lived off milk an bread for years saving his money to give to his kids more of an inheirtance at his death...for such dedication they put him in an nursing home. I went back there to see him, first thing he said to me, which was correct, "your have put on to much weight, you need to work at getting that off"...but I said, I have something to show you...and brought in my little son...he was delighted to see him, my son went up to the piano..and the lady started to tell him to not play with it, and he stopped her...because he remembered my mother played so well, with never having an lesson or reading music in her life, it was more then just an talent, it was an "God-given" talent and something no one else I've ever ran into could do like she did....well, I sent my son to Yamaha music school for an bit...and so we sit down and for grandpa we played "Mary had an little lamb" and he was so pleased. Of course that was our last time to see each other...before he passed over. So I think it would be nice to have him visit....and see where we grew up all those years.  

What's your favorite chocolate dessert?

Current favorite meat dish: Chicken Tikka Masala on jasmine rice!

Movies I could watch over and over again: the Lord of the Rings trilogy; Master and Commander; Paths of Glory; The Uninvited (1944).

Favorite chocolate desert: Turtle sundae (ice cream, hot fudge, hot caramel, pecans).

One ancestor with whom I would love to have dinner: Dr. Sir John Hinton, my gggggggg-grandfather. He was a physician-in-ordinary to Kings Charles I and Charles II. I would like to hear about his experiences as a field surgeon in the Royalist Army during the first phase of the Civil Wars (1642-1645), where he served at the battles of Edgehill (1642), Lansdowne (1643--wounded in the action) and Second Newbury (1644--he assumed command of a leaderless troop of Royalist horse in the chaos toward the end of the battle). I think it would be an incredibly fascinating conversation!

Which historical character would you like to be?

Krissy--I believe that there was supposed to be a follow-up to the film, but no sequel as yet. A few months ago, I was able to tour the HMS Surprise, which is moored in San Diego harbor. They used the ship for many of the sailing/exterior scenes and also some of the interior shots, particularly the captain's cabin and the lower gun decks. One side of the ship has areas for the placement of the cameras shooting over to the other side of the ship--really fascinating! Author Patrick O'Brian partly modelled Captain Jack Aubrey on Captain Thomas Cochrane (later Lord Dundonald). One of Cochrane's commands was the HMS Speedy, a 20-gun brig-sloop very much like the HMS Surprise. Cochrane was a hell of a sailor and the scourge of the French!

If I were to choose a historic character, it would probably be the Duke of Wellington during the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo--two battles that have always fascinated me! I think, though, that all-in-all, Muir was much the better man!
