Writer's Block: Orlando lives again!

[kyrielle]

If you could become one person--alive,dead or fictional--for one month, who would it be, and why?

At first I am tempted to borrow the answer from a couple of my friends: do I get to keep their income and/or the income from any of their assets I sell during that month? Scott and I are fine, but extra money for security and to help our families would be lovely.

But no, in the end, I'd have to pick either Mom or Dad - near the end of their lives - and I'm not sure which. And spend a month writing down all the family stories I've forgotten or never heard, all the anecdotes and moments lost to the mists of time that deserved to be preserved.
