What do we know about her?
~Max
Mrs. Adams sometimes helps her husband with his experiments for the column1, 2. She and Cecil evidently have children who also help out with experiments3. She normally enjoys humiliating her husband in anything athletic2. She has large breasts and once ran in a marathon4. She evidently has long hair because she uses a hair dryer5, although one time Cecil jokingly referred to her as having “always been a little butch”1.

Mrs. Adams sounded like she had some pizzazz all right. It makes sense she and Cecil matched so well.
How times have changed:
Avocado oil is now available in any grocery store in the country.
The fourth link only says a “well-endowed female friend” and makes no mention of Mrs. Adams.
Last paragraph contains:
The woman friend referred to above is now Mrs. Adams.
I guess it pays to read through to the end.
Every word of Cecil’s wisdom is precious.
The column mentions her breast size in the context of her sports bras chafing, giving her uncomfortable abrasions. That Unca Cece saw these abrasions - presumably when she removed her bra - implies a level of intimacy beyond just “friends”.
I bow to your mad research skillz.
Is that supposed to be Mrs. Adams as depicted by Slug Signorino in Link #2?
The Usurper. Harrumph!
Apparently, she’s really adept at Hula-hooping.
I hadn’t thought of that. This could possibly be her.

Such scholarship!
The martial artists link mentions “little researchers.”
Mrs. Adams sweetly suggested having one of the little researchers try, reasoning that, being taller and younger, he would have the advantage of leverage and a fresher supply of testosterone.
That implies that she is a mom, having at least two kids, at least one of whom is a son. Being taller than Cecil implies that the kid is at least teen-aged and possibly an adult. Fairly important details.
That article is from 2005. The woman athletes article, from 1984, implies that the marriage was recent. That would likely make the son a teenager. Although as someone working for an alternative newspaper, who knows how insouciant Cecil might feel toward mere legalities as marriage laws?
Cheer up, Beck! Polyamory may be in his long list of nose-thumbing of societal conventions.
That was my read too, but I should note Cecil has been known to infantilize at least one full fledged member of the SDSAB, “Little Ed” Zotti.

If Little Ed was younger and taller than Cecil in 2005, I’ll give you a zillion copies of the Chicago Reader and a bent penny.
Mrs. Adams is a most remarkable person.
After all, she can speak French—in Russian. She’s won the lifetime achievement award twice. She once had an awkward moment, just to see how it felt. She once won a staring contest with her own reflection. If opportunity knocks, and she’s not home, then opportunity waits. In short, she is the perfect match for the Perfect Master.
I don’t know if she drinks beer, but if she did, I’m sure that it would be Dos Equis.
I heard she drinks Tres Equis.
