If you could have a super power what would it be and why: To freeze time. There is not enough time in a day for me to do everything I want to do and help everyone that I want to help. Also, I’m always running late, so it’d be nice to be on time for things.
If you could invite anyone to dinner, you would ask: Tom Ford. He has done a lot to shape contemporary culture, and he continues to do a lot of very provocative things. I’m pretty convinced that there is a lot going on in that man’s head, and I wouldn’t mind a glimpse.
HamDel decides to name a sandwich after you (what’s it called and what’s in it): “The Hungry Diplomat” – A Philly Cheesesteak with respectfully smashed up Veggie Samosas.
