Wednesday W's, end of November edition


What have I been up to?  Four days off for the Thanksgiving Holiday.  Daily walks, lots of relaxing time. 

Who have I seen?  My sister was here for Thanksgiving dinner.  She stayed with late husband's brother and his family.  I drove her back to Patrick's place and talked with him for a few minutes.  His office is only three blocks from mine. 

What have I been cooking?  Turkey, salmon, and more turkey. 

Where have I been? It was cold so I walked in the MGM Casino across the river over the weekend. 

What am I thinking about? Getting everything finished for the end of the year at work. 

What am I planning?  A fun year of office travel year. 

Who have I been in contact with?  Spo and Sharon - planning a January adventure, and a Professor friend who is in Germany this semester - I ran across a YouTube video of a photographer working near where he stays that reminded me of him. 

What have I been reading? Bono's biography, and I have several lighter works stacked up after that.

  1. I really like the very stylish photo. So Bono's bio is heavy going?

    1. The book is slow, kinda of disorganized, if you don't know the history of music there are gaps in understanding, the ideas are not well developed. I thought about tossing it.

  4. I made some delicioso Asian Turkey Soup as some of the last scraps of our turkey were put to good use. I have some turkey vacuum-sealed in the freezer for more soup at a later date.
    I need to get Bono's book.

  6. Travel is always a fun thing to look forward to. I'm planning a trip to London next year sometime. It's uplifting just doing the planning work.

  7. I have been to the Kennedy Center only when chaperoning 8th graders on their end of year field trip. Seeing a performance there is on my "Living List." (I prefer that to Bucket List). Today is make-a-pot-of-turkey-soup-day using the carcass and whatever leftovers would be good to throw in there. Time to move on from Thanksgiving and begin the Christmas baking. 'Tis the season!
