I was contemplating on what to take a shot of today and I thought that "shot" had several different meanings; one of which is used in mixing drinks. So I set up this tableau. In 1862, Dr. Jerry Thomas published the first book on "How to Mix Drinks" The book on the table is a first edition of that book.
Retired educator - taught mathematics in high school, went back to graduate school, worked in research labs, and finally went back and taught computer science...
