Matthew Knight. In a combined standard three/four class. I was 8, he was about 10. He had lovely feathered hair. Plus his name was similar to Michael Knight! How cool was that?

Then he got his hair cut and I didn’t love him any more.

Years later, I go to my university class and sit next to someone who looks awfully familiar. Try to nonchalantly nose around his stuff and sure enough, I spy a form with “Matthew Knight” in the name field. I was too shy to introduce myself!

Micky Dolenz in the 60s  
Harrison Ford as Han Solo - late 70s??

I don’t crush any more - I just appreciate the attractiveness of some men, even if they’re young enough to be my children…

Mike Nesmith in his _Monkees_ days.

Gene Wilder in his _Charlie and The Chocolate Factory_ and _Young Frankenstein_ days.

Lane Davies in his _Santa Barbara_ and _Woops!_ days.

Michael J. Fox in his _Family Ties_ and _Back to the Future_ days. And still a little bit now.

Tim Daly in his _Wings_ days. And still a little bit now.

Josh Charles, always.

Matthew Perry, always.

This guy named Mike at my office, since my very first day at work there (he took my badge photo).

Another guy named Mike at my office, since early this year when he started supporting a proposal that I was coordinating.

Ha! I was aware of the “two Mikes at work” thing, but hadn’t noticed the Michael J. Fox and Mike Nesmith pattern. Um…it’s a very common name? 😃
