My World of Wonders: August 12, 2026

The CTA Blue Line has some new rail cars. 

Should I do more paintings in this style? 

 Who have I talked with this week? Kevin, Amy, Joe, Joan, Pratibha, Ana, Susan, Rebecca, Gail, Rachel, Jose, my sweet bear, Tom, Dian, Grace, Warren. 

What have I been up to this week? I came down with a cold just after the last WW-Wednesday, so I had a couple of quiet days, but there was an art show installation last Friday, and the show opener on Saturday afternoon. I did a grocery store run last Wednesday - we had been out of town for a few days and it was time to refresh. 

Where have I been this week? The Community center, the grocery store and Trader Joe's. The pool, the treadmill. Aldi, the Library. 

What have I been up to in the kitchen?  Roast beef, Pizza, simmered sausage sauce and pasta. 

How am I feeling? I am getting over a head cold and cough that we brought home from Chicago. 

What is on the easel? A painting of a giant cock (chicken.) 

What have I learned this week? The difference between a genetic test and a bio marker test.

  2. Our public transport seats can be hard and uncomfortable but yours seem worse. NYC Subway train seats were just solid plastic.

    1. As I recall he drank heavily when he painted, I could try that.

  4. A cold has been making the rounds; it visited me for the weekend!
    I'm waiting for Maddie to ask about the giant cock, of course.
    As for the painting you should do whatever makes you happy but I do enjoy that abstract piece.

  5. Paint where the muse takes you! I like your Jackson Pollock style painting. It's fun freestyle.
