On Sunday we thought we should try to locate Lainy's keys, which somehow fell out of her pocket on the route last week, so the reverse Bird Run it was again, this time with all of us staring at the ground. All we found was a spoon, unfortunately, but we did stop and see the 6 million aluminum tabs encased in hundreds of glass blocks, all in the shape of a Jewish star as seen from above, forming the eloquent Holocaust Memorial on the corner of Beechwood and Forward. Perfect Hanukah run.
Coffee time gave us surprise visits by Cheryl and Tom, and so many endorsements!
- Annual Hanukah Parade of Cars and Bikes later in the day - some of the group biked it, so we hope to hear a report on Sunday, HOPING there were no PVC-pipe menorahs this time. (I'm a little obsessed with this.)
- Wisdom of Tom on Twitter
- Making your opinion count on gun control - tweet to local politicians - or write - or call. Even to Sen. Pat Toomey, who actually sponsored gun control legislation and deserves credit. Or contact our runner Chris Horwitz at elgrip@gmail.com, who is organizing about it.
- Twote as the past tense of tweet
- Newest runner Rachel!
- Star Wars inflatables in Marlborough St.
- Another delectable Israeli cookbook by Pittsburgh native Mike Solomonov: Zahav.
- Pam's awesome Pittsburgh running pants, pictured. Get them at the Great Race Expo!
- Overheard about a young man stretching outside: "He's got great hips!" (He did.)
