    Was thinking about this during work (my mind wanders) but with all the recent obits lately I was trying to think if I could "freeze" one person (Has to be a celebrity) who you could "freeze in time" so they would still be the same age, have the same capabilities for you to enjoy for the rest of your life. (Jordan in his prime?, Willie Mays?)
    Just too many people have died recently that made the world a happier or at least more tolerable place. You figure, as long as so-and-so is still kicking it, I'm ok.

    I was thinking Stevie Wonder, but he doesn't perform much anymore - or put out new music. Dolly Parton? Willie Nelson? Eddie Murphy? Michelle Obama? Mahomes?

    So many I wish I could "bring back." Robin Williams, Mr. Rogers, Ray Charles, Aretha..

    I'll have to make it a trio for Buffett.

    Although if it wasn't limited to one individual, I would have opted for the Eagles, circa 1978.
