A Perfect Day - My

A Perfect Day - My daughter's piece appears in the Strib's "Mindworks" column today.

But in case you missed it:

I would have to say I would go back in time with a magic wand and make my dog, cat and bird immortal. I would make sure Saddam Hussein never went into office. I would cure cancer, AIDS and diabetes. I would put Osama bin Laden in jail. I would buy two horses, plus tack and feed. I would also buy two dogs, two cats and some bunnies, plus food and accessories. I would make it so Wellstone's plane crash never happened, even though I disagree with some of his ideas. I would try to make peace between Kuwait and Iraq, and North Korea and South Korea. I would go back in time and make sure Pearl Harbor never happened and I would make sure my great-uncle Chet never died. I would close all the puppy mills and I would find a cure for the West Nile virus and that would be my perfect day.
