People are oft puzzled when I refer to my personal heroes, Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt. When questioned as to which WOMEN I idolize, I state simply, Queen Elizabeth the 1st. When queried as to why I’ve no “modern” women on my list I simply reply, “well, it took a couple of centuries for the ol’ boys to figure out how to be such smart asses as Miz Elizabeth. Unfortunately, no woman has figured it out since.”
