This is not really a shlep, so don't kvetch - as we discussed along with various other yiddish words last week, including ufsalukhus (sp?), which Lainy uses to great effect but when I've tried to find it, all I come up with is koolasuchus, some kind of Australian dinosaur which may or may not be related. All this occurred at the cozy Big Dog Coffee place at the end of a pretty great South Side run. We visited the origination spot for the StepTrek, ran down many adorable residential streets, discovered the new part of the trail overlooking another marina, and climbed on various ancient steelworks relics. We also witnessed the big development going on at the former Duquesne Brewery - the Brew House Lofts. As we came in from the cold, Big Dog had a fire going in the fireplace - some of us just stayed and stayed.
