My oldest friend and part-time, freelance muse, Frank called me the other day to suggest I write a post about the five people I would most like to go drinking with. If a time capsule is involved, I guess drinking with The Faces, circa 1973, would be as good as it could get. Got me thinking about all the other great pastimes and the various people I'd want to pass the time with doing all those things.
