There are people with whom I would love to change lives but only for the experience of living in their shoes for a defined period of time. One example that comes to mind would be John H. Hammond who help to either discover or promote almost every major musical talent of the 20th century from Benny Goodman,to Count Basie, to Billie Holliday all the way to Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Just sit back and imagine the music that this man heard LIVE before anyone else in many cases!
For more reading on Hammond's life.

Yes, there are people I envy. The grass is always greener. But no, I would not want to trade lives. You never know the perils of that life until you walk in that person shoes, and my shoes are just fine!!!
Who do I envy....well, lets change envy to admire:
I admire CinCin and Rant Master - they are out there doing what they love their way.
I admire my parents for all they do and have done. (Also: Dad is 75 today - Happy Birthday to him!)
I admire my sister-in-law who is raising her children to be caring and feeling individuals and devotes 100% to them.
There are many many more, but lastly I admire my dear PEF. He loves me for being me, which is WONDERFUL.
no
Nope, I like my life.
Although, I will let Gates or Buffet or someone like that send me a big check.
Not at all.
at this point in my life...i would trade places with almost anyone
