If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

In a generic sort of way, I’d like to be anybody who can let things roll off of him, who can let things go, who isn’t waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’d like to be someone who could look at all the craziness and ugliness in the world and still be kind and hopeful, still smile and carry on with a lightness in my step. I’d like to be stronger and funnier, and more resilient, with a bit more devil-may-care, I guess.

So, maybe Bill Murray.

Not sure, since it’s only for a day. On the other hand, if I come away from the experience feeling like it has some bearing on the rest of my life, then maybe it would be worthwhile.

So, maybe a professional golfer winning a big tournament, or a guide at Gettysburg NMP.
