I've tried a few times to understand what a Singleton is. Perhaps I'm just too visual.. so can anyone break it down in a simple analogy.

As requested, here are a few analogies:
The Earth The Universe The element oxygen (there are other elements, but only one oxygen. There are lots of oxygen molecules, but only one canonical oxygen element.) The concept of True The concept of False You could instantiate lots of True objects, but they will all refer to the same actual item (ie the universal concept of True). Depending on your application's domain, there may be more specific examples:
The database connection The application's main thread Anything that represents a hardware device (ie you only want to instantiate one object representing CPU0).
A singleton is a class of which there can be only one instance in your application. You then share that instance throughout your application.
Here's a link that might help (covers how to make your singleton thread safe in c# as well):
