Next week, Christmas Day, we will start at 7 a.m. at the Squirrel Hill Starbucks (Shady and Forbes) since that is the only cafe that is open, and have an Noel-inspired run that will include lights, inflatables, pine trees, and possibly Santa on his way out.
Hopefully we will not have to deal with slipping and sliding over icy terrain as we did yesterday - though it was all a great lead-up to our visit to Penguins' Pond, the new ice rink on the South Side - which was filled with baby Sidney Crosby's zooming around at 8 a.m. Elaine also took us through the super new path in back of the Hofbrau Haus, with only a short incident of illegal trespass, and up a mysterious staircase that led to a remarkable view and the historic, newly refurbished Terminal Building, about which Elaine and Jonathan know a surprising number of things. Coffee was a draw, as usual, and the discussion turned Talmudic as regards the timing of runs on holidays, the proper frying of latkes, and the scheduling of visits to Costco.
