Dec 4 Run: By the tall smoke stacks in the Waterfront Parking Lot

Pam Murray is going to lead another Homestead Church run to start off our month of holiday runs. Meet at the tall smoke stacks in the Waterfront parking lot between Costco and the movie theater (near the Longhorn Steakhouse).

We caught the sunrise in Homestead Cemetery this morning but it was the red/blue/violet sky leading up to it that was the real show. And as often happens in this Cemetery we saw a few deer to add to the bucolic atmosphere. The temperatures were mild making for a pleasant post-Thanksgiving run which seemed to include a few extra hills.

Many stayed for coffee and a few joined, filling up Commonplace with convivial chatter. I noticed that there were no treats bought or brought - perhaps a residual effect from Thanksgiving overindulgence. Despite the lack of carbohydrates we hung out until 9AM, discussing politics, iPhone apps, Thanksgiving adventures, and more.

One of those who stopped by was Max Plotkin. Don't forget that she is hosting an expanded jewelry party this -there will be 6 other displaying their ways artists including herself. All runners, lurkers, friends and family are invited:

Sunday, December 4th, 12:00 - 8:00 PM

1411 Severn Street, 15217 (Max's home)

Alternate parking on Wilkins and Beechwood 

Refreshments will be served
