Sunday Stealing: Bud's Last Questions

Sunday Stealing: Last The 40 Questions from Bud

Here is a song for Bud, who is no longer authoring the Sunday Stealing meme. It's called The Last Goodbye. Congratulations to Bev, who is taking it over, at least for a while.


1. My uncle once : Told me I couldn't read when I was three years old, so I picked up a book and read it to him. When he said I was just "remembering" it, I told him to give me something else, and then I read him that. He didn't tell me I couldn't read anymore.

2. Never in my life : Have I gone parachuting.

3. When I was seventeen : I was young and foolish, a dreamer who thought the world had promise. I know better now.

4. High School was : Something I'd rather not revisit.

5. I will never forget : The day I married.

No cake-smashing for us.

6. I once met : A man with seven wives, as I was going to St. Ives. Each wife had seven sacks. Each sack had seven cats. Each cat had seven kits. Kits, cats, sacks, and wives, how many were going to St. Ives?

Alice.

7. There’s this girl I know who : Fell down a rabbit hole and landed on a chessboard, where the Red Queen said, "Off with her head."

12. Next time I go to gym/church : The roof will fall in, as I don't attend either one.

13. Susan Boyle : Is not someone I know anything about.

14. What worries me most : Is the way that people no longer love one another or understand the cooperative nature of society. Where has all the empathy gone?

Looking left in my office.

15. When I turn my head left, I see : Two clocks, a bookcase full of books, some cameras, and a picture of Gandalf the White from Lord of the Rings.

16. When I turn my head right, I see : A picture of three angels, painted by a friend, a plate hanging on the wall that says Friends are the family we choose for ourselves, and a bunch of papers piled on my desk.

Looking right in my office.

17. You know I’m lying when : I flush or blush or something. I don't know. I don't lie often enough to know what my "tells" are.

18. What I miss most about the eighties : Is being younger and more able to do things.

19. If I was a character in Shakespeare, I’d be : One of the witches in Macbeth.

38. Paper clips are more useful than : Nail polish.

No fingernails for nail polish. I bite my nails.

39. If I do anything well, it’s : Write and be a smart ass, apparently.
