I would like to have tea with _______

Tea with Dr. Margaret Chan, director-general of The World Health Organization would just floor me. It would be fascinating to talk about the situation of health around the globe and what is being done to provide a standard of care world wide to all nations. The tea would just make it surreal.

Barbara Mertz, Amelia Peabody, Radcliffe Emerson. And then maybe some coffee.

Simple, really…my Granny who passed away three years ago. We had always had tea together since I was a child, and I miss her dearly.

Patrick Jane from the Mentalist. We could sip Earl Grey and compare brands. :-)

Enjoying reading these. This evening, I’d give anything to be rocking on a shady back porch sharing a cup with my best writing buddy and our mutual mentor, two of the most gracious and creative people I know, both several hundred miles away. Missing them both intensely.

I like to have tea with toasted English muffins, butter and orange marmalade.

and along with the English muffins, Hugh Laurie or Martin Clunes.

George Patton, since I am a history buff.

I have two answers:

One would be Haruki Murakami, and we wouldn’t have to discuss much. Tea and tea talk is enough.

The other would be my great uncle George, who was from Hawaii when Hawaii was a different kind of place, who used to tell me over the time-difference and the telephone about the boats he could see, in a feeble voice that had spoken many stories before I existed. Just to sit with him and a hot cup would be just the thing.

Any one of the protagonist blokes from the Boston Tea Party (the historic event not the political movement). I imagine we would have Labrabor or Lemon Balm, Borage or Catnip. Doesn’t matter… just be careful of the pinky thing.
