Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!
This week’s meme was stolen from Ken and Dot’s All Sorts. This blogging duo was asked to share things about themselves that their readers may not already know. Their answers have been used as the basis for this week’s questions.
Tell Us Something – What Don’t We Know?
1. Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
No, but I have never mourned that fact.
2. What foreign language did you study in school? How much of it do you still remember?
I took three years of high school French. The first year, I was pretty good, but I got worse and worse in the succeeding years.
Yet when my wife and I went to France in May 2023, I remembered enough basic phrases for the locals to think I was at least trying. And reading French was even easier.
In our Paris hotel, the television stations were some from France but also the UK. But as we traveled farther west, almost all of the TV was in French, some of it dubs of American programs.
3. What recipe did you most recently prepare? Where did you get the recipe, and how did it turn out?
Lasagna, described here. It’s really difficult to screw up Betty Crocker.
34th state
4. What song have you listened to over and over and over again?
As seen above, my church has had the theme “Tell Me Something Good” from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. And every time I see the bulletin, I think of the song Tell Me Something Good by Rufus, featuring Chaka Khan, whose birthday and year are the same month as mine. It was written by Stevie Wonder. I love that song.
But if you mean songs on repeat ever? That is a WAY too long list. And there’s usually a story behind it, such as “Carry On Wayward Son” by Kansas.
5. Are there currently any pets in your household? Are you considering adding another?
Stormy the cat is it. No, she’ll be the last one.
6. As an adult, have you ever performed with a drama group? (Student productions don’t count.)
Boys In The Band in Binghamton in 1975
Godspell in New Paltz in 1976
Plus roles in some plays at church, including Our Town (1984), Once On This Island (2020), and a couple of others.
Thank you for playing! Please come back next week.
