So many decisions could have been bad!

March 17 Run: Hot Metal Bridge, parking lot off of 2nd Ave. at Bates

Next week, wear your green of course, and also bring binoculars!  We’ll start out at the Thermo Scientific parking lot this side of the Hot Metal Bridge, head over the bridge, and then, following special notification by Lainy, turn left so as to eventually be in the perfect spot to see the nesting bald eagles that have set up house in Hayes!  There was some talk of a run-to-the-run - please check in if so.


Last week our Highland Park run followed a glowing sunrise through the park and especially over the reservoir (photo capturing it courtesy of Teri.)  A parallel walk was taken by Joanne and Judy, a great option to consider for those of us that land on the DL from time to time, or are, ahem, no spring chickens.

Speaking of nesting, and spring chickens, the highlight of coffee hour was a visit from the adorable 6-week-old Greta (and her equally adorable mom Aimee.)  Check out this action photo (thanks, Sarah!) and you'll see that Greta is completely engaged in the conversation and undoubtedly thinking of terrific endorsements to share as soon as she can talk.  So our chat naturally gravitated toward our history in diapers (collectively, tens of thousands of them?) but then on to not-so-secret Hotwire's Secret Hotels and using it to get a great rate at Pam's recommended Belnord Hotel in NYC, job negotiation techniques which hopefully end with staying in our fair city with a better salary, and TechShop Pittsburgh in Bakery Square: we are not sure what it is, but it's super-hip.
