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!
Once again, we return to Thursday Thunks, which is giving us more questions. Alas, the thunking stopped back in 2011.
Thursday Thunks Redux
1. It’s the middle of the night. There isn’t another car in sight. You’re stuck at a red light that just won’t change. How long do you wait until you run it?
I know that on my bicycle, it’s been about 90 seconds. There are some intersections where the bike will not trip the signal. BTW, that’s true in the daytime as well.
2. What’s your favorite recipe?
There’s only one, and it’s for lasagna, which I wrote about six years ago.
3. When did you last ask yourself, “What the hell was I thinking?”
Oh, about now. We at the Friends and Foundation of the Albany Public Library need to put together the postcard for the May/June book reviews and author talks. I have all the information about the book, the author, and the speaker. But I didn’t notice until Friday that I didn’t have any biographical information about the speaker, and the deadline to get that to the library is the same day. I sent out an email, but no response. If I had noticed this earlier, it would have made my life easier.

4. Have you ever had a mole removed? If yes, where on your body was it?
Not a mole, but what my dermatologist, whom I see annually because of my vitiligo, removed were some skin tags. She uses cryotherapy, which stings quite a bit for about 15 seconds.
5. What website do you faithfully check (other than email)?
I get feeds from a slew of news sites. Some I only get to see the first paragraph or two (WaPo, LA Times, Wall Street Journal, e.g.). But I subscribe to the New York Times, the (Albany) Times Union, and GroundNews.
