Colin Powell. Robert Redford. Paul Newman. Nelson Mandela. Van Homan. Jeff Corwin. The Dalai Lama. Kyle Gass. Jack Black. David Gilmour. Why are there no women here? Margaret Atwood. Maxine Waters. Tori Amos. Naomi Wolf. Maya Angelou. The good people of WBUR and NPR. People from other places. Teachers. Great chefs. Fellow gourmands. Fiery people who stand up for the better of people, animals, and things that cannot but are surely deserving. Kind people who say things like "bruises are the mark of a good time" and "scars make good stories." People who are able to let go. People who step outside their comfort zones. Philanthropists who think I'm a charitable cause.Everyone in my top 8 either inspires or entertains me in some amazing, priceless way.
