One of the things we were supposed to do in Michael Day's Intro to Doc Studies was to keep a list of questions. I never really felt like I had any questions, but I just realized that's because I try to get my questions answered as soon as they come up, so they don't stay questions.
But I'm in the middle of reading an article and I don't want to forget this question: Is an abstract part of the article (like an intro) or should the article stand alone, without the abstract. I'd always assumed it was the later, but the article I am in the middle of seems to assume it's an intro to the paper. I'll look it up later.
And regarding the concept of questions - as I said, I don't hold onto questions any longer than I have to. The internet is a wonderful thing - so much factual info can be had so quickly. Which is why I like deeper questions - puzzles with no obvious answer. So I don't carry around questions - I get them answered even if I have to talk to people to do it - but I do carry fears. Lots of fears! But that's a subject for another day.

Met someone
OK - I'm not lonely anymore cuz I've been hanging out with Craig Johnson of Centennial. He lives in a yurt that he built with his own hands twenty years ago. It's been up-graded since then - has electricity and running water, and new this winter - forced air heat. So that's why I haven't been around much - he's been occupying my free time. But now I'm trying to get work done for the end of the semester, so I'm home alone working.
