This Sunday Wendy has offered David’s new Squirrel Hill run
starting at Commonplace, which sounds great, and which he will lead assuming
she tells him about it.
Last week was the annual holiday dahntahn run, which I had
to miss due to bad automotive planning, so I’m just reporting some discoveries
that were mentioned: a cool Rube-Goldberg-ish tree at the Fairmont,
another nice one at Market Square, the blah-ness of the new Hilton façade, and
the sad news that the magical “sound sculpture” on Strawberry Way is defunct.
We need to bring it back! Anyone know somebody on the public art
board?
MUCH was learned at our coffee-fueled post-run gathering:
·
In the olden days, the best (and only) pregnancy
clothes came from Japanese Weekend, which is still around! But of course
now there is Target.
·
Yi not only told us all about Chinese breakfasts
– north vs. south, fried bread vs. noodles - but he brought some in, from
Sakura which is providing them now evidently, and gave us a taste!
Yum – and somewhat reminiscent of both Funnel Cake and beignets.
·
Galit pointed out: 1. that after Xmas is
the BEST time to buy things on Craig’s List because of all the unwanted
presents and 2. IF you do buy something on Craig’s List and are arranging a
place to pick up and pay, go to Wendy’s (restaurant) because they have the best
security cameras.
·
Wendy came up with a striking metaphor for our
shrinking bones (protecting art work from fading) about which many of us are
anxious: Anne Jane will report back from the specialist, and I am counting on
yoga.
·
Elaine told us about a hearing aid study that
will provide free hearing aids (see attached.)
·
She also reminded us about the Moth
storytelling event Tuesday night that this message is, alas, too late for L, but maybe
next month we can figure out a group trip.
·
There are many, many Nutcrackers. If you
are not a ballet dancer, you love them all! (Well, maybe.)
