First, plans for upcoming runs: next Sunday, due to the Easter holiday and the fact that apparently none of today's runners will be around, it's an ad hoc run to start at Coffee Tree. The following Sunday, Tom will lead from the Pitt law school, and was characteristically enigmatic as to the details. And weekday runners, please note a new and unique opportunity this coming Wednesday! We discovered that on this day at sunrise, to mark a once-every-28-years ancient Jewish belief about special sun alignment, some sort of ceremony will happen at Blue Slide Park (on Beechwood.) So there will be the option of leaving from the usual 5:45 Forbes/Murray meetup and going in the other direction to get to the park at around sunrise (well, a little early.) To be ecumenical, yoga sun salutations will be involved, and anything else you like.
Today, Tom's excellent run in the bright brisk weather went through the Heart of Oakland, where we puzzled over the giant mural of Mr. Rogers and other odd things in a sea of red, white and blue bubbles, and reminisced about The Decade and missing the Sex Pistols. Discussion topics later, as always, were effervescent: the recommended Bavarian Inn in WV, the NOT recommended Japanese restaurant at the Waterfront, matzos, AK-47's, hot cross buns, texting chacha, the above sun worship plan for Wednesday, visa issues for P. the B., and finally, a possible solution for that having to do with a 1000-year old Mayan prediction - for which amazing story, see:

Much going on in the cosmos, as you see.
