My World of Wonders, aka, the Wednesday Ws July 9, 2025 edition


Where have I been this week? Close to home, the farmers market, Aldi, Trader Joe's, the liquor store, the pool, the treadmill in the gym, out to lunch and the Fresh Market with the sweet bear. 

What did I learn this week? A gin and tonic, is a drink for people who don't like gin. What a terrible waste of good gin. 

Who have I talked with? Linda, Pratibha, Jon, Ana, Susan, Raphael, Russel, Ruth, the water aerobics gang, John, it was a social week. 

What am I reading? Revenge of the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, when it is finished I need to head to the library. 

What have I been up to in the kitchen? Homemade baked beans, potato salad, a hearty soup made with leftovers, guacamole, cheese spread, 

What artsy thing have I done? I framed and hung three more prints. 

What have I written this week (besides blogs)? I finished an article on interviewing for the ABA Voice of Experience, and finished edits on a PowerPoint for a webinar I am co-presenting later this month.

  2. I am not a gin fan, but have a friend who serves Monkey 47 Martinis and they are quite nice. I also used to frequent a bar in San Francisco that made a 1952 Martini that, instead of vermouth, had a dash of Cointreau in it, and that was lovely too.

    1. Have you tried a negroni? Gin, bitter orange (I like Apirol), and sweet vermouth.

  4. I just want to put a bow on that tuft of hair and squeeze your cheeks you little kewpie! I don't know what this post is about. I got sidetracked.

    1. There is hardly enough hair there to old a bow, but you could try.

    2. There's enough there for the kind with a clip I'm sure. If not, duct tape fixes everything!

    3. Am I going along quietly, or do we need to break out the duct tape.

    4. Up to you, hon. I'm sure a certain hamster would have a say in it though.

  5. Much too busy. And I must beg to differ about a gin and tonic. A cocktail made for relaxing in the sun of the day. In the Raj, perhaps.
