Wow. That's a thought-provoking question you got there!!! Well, as long as I could change back to me (and keep what I learned), I'd go for Albert Einstein, the apostle Paul, and my daughter on the day she was born.
Psalm 118:24

I'd like to trade places with the 18 year old I was. The boy that had dreams that, the drugs and alcohol took away . The only way, i can get them back is to get young people coming in here to stop b 4 they wake up at 40 and wonder what might have been

Stood there boldly
Sweatin’ in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I’d never felt that strong
Like a rock
I was eighteen
Didn’t have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin’ ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock
And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now
Where’d they go?
Twenty years
I don’t know
Sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they’ve gone
And sometimes late at night
When I’m bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin’ a ghostly white
And I recall
Recall
Like a rock. standin’ arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin’ from the gate
Like a rock, carryin’ the weight
Like a rock
Lihe a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock
Mending

My very first thought to that question was 'My Mom' so I'll go with that!!
I have a lot of unanswered questions as to the choices she made in her life and I would love to know the truth of the legacy she has left me. She is very closed and becomes easily upset when questioned about the past. I will probably never know what truth lies behind me but I am learning to let go and love her more each day.

I pick three.
Galileo.
Vincent van Gogh.
Edmund Hillary.
How about you?

Have his ear cut off the next day.
Then on day three have the name Hillary? (wonder if Hillary Clinton was named after him?) *LOL* She took a backpack bundle (Bill) and climbed Capital Hill

Adam... so I could tell Eve to not eat the apple.
If that didn't work...
Moses so I could warn him of the loss of the promise land by hitting the rock.
and if I was to be as unselfish as can possibly ever be....
Go back and warn my wife to run when she first met me so she wouldn't of had to put up with me till I learned the better way of life. Then again she is who she is and would have taken a ragged old puppy in off the street all the same.
