Dec. 15 Run: Omni William Penn entrance on Wm. Penn Place for annual Dahntahn holiday run

Ho ho ho! Time for the annual downtown holiday run to visit the festive decorations, and since I just had an inspiration for the most elegant coffee venue ever - the Starbucks adjoining the Omni William Penn lobby - not to mention the most opulent public bathroom - let's meet at the entrance on Wm. Penn Place.  There should be plenty of on street parking thereabouts.  Unfortunately after yesterday the celebratory black & gold will be minimal :-( but as always there will be much to gaze at: at least 8 trees, and maybe since Hanukah is over we will be spared those truly tacky menorahs (get it together, Chabad!)

On Sunday, after peering into an icy Frick Park and thinking better of it, our cohort of 17 (!) headed out to the streets - first stop: the adorable lighted star decorations around the house at Hastings and Selwyn, where they soon went dark probably as a result of our raucousness. We promise not to do it again, nice artistic people!  Later: the dawn view of more twinkling city lights from the heights of the Chatham campus - luckily nobody there to wake up.

Back at Commonplace, we endorsed:

• Wendy's hair
• Jan's dog
• The Moth - this Tuesday night at 8!
• JFGI (this acronym contains explicit language)
• A trip to Chicago
• A trip to Marblehead
• Mysteries later to be revealed by group members
• The West Wing
• Apple TV
• adorable baby Greta - now on her feet!  Soon to be running!
• return of the Buffs - do you know of any other headgear referred to as "endless fun"? Our very own version coming soon...

How do I remember all this?
