Nov 28 and Holiday Runs: Common Place Coffee - but check the times

Virginia will lead a 5 - 6 mile run from Common Place Coffee on Thanksgiving Day starting at 7:30am.
The day after Thanksgiving the run will leave Forbes and Murray at the usual 5:45AM time - ask Tom for details.
Sunday Nov 28, the run will start at Common Place Coffee as well at the regular 7:00am start time.

Mist in the morning makes everything look ethereal, picturesque,[fill in your favorite adjective here] as we saw on the spectacular run that Joanne led this morning. We climbed up and up through Morningside to Stanton Heights catching glimpses of Highland Park, both the neighborhood and the park, as if we were in the clouds looking down. The sun coming up through that veil of mist stopped us mid-run - a bronze globe peering through the lacy black trees. If that were not enough, we saw sights along the way: the first crèche and inflatable of the season (not in the same yard); numerous small cement statues and other elaborate house decorations; a survey of Mildred's Daughter's Farm, perched improbably at the top of a hill in Morningside; the empty building that will be the new Park Brugge and on a more somber note, the block where the three police officers were killed a few years ago as well as the ball field that was named after one of them. A most satisfying run, completed with coffee, cinnamon rolls and apple tarts.

We have a lot for which to be thankful!
