December 11 Run: Annual Holiday Run! Starts at PPG skating rink downtown

On Sunday we're in for the annual Dahntahn Holiday Run, starting at the PPG ice rink, where we go from one festive site to another, and comment on what's new, what's old, and whether they've finally replaced that wretched PVC pipe menorah with a decent one. But what will replace the Kaufmann's windows?  I won't be there, so please report.  (Speaking of which, thank you in advance to whomever takes over this message next week.  Special treat to announce:  on the 18th, we'll start at the Cork Factory to join Cheryl, have a strip district run, and she'll treat us to coffee in her new hip apartment!)

Last week's trek through Frick Park was just right, and we did find the secret rope ladder entrance, and also a truly impressive inflatable Hanukah scene - rivaling the awesome inflatable Mary on the North Side, which we really must revisit one of these days.

Endorsed:
  • Burgatory burgers
  • Hot toddies as the best winter medicine
  • Tile wireless trackers for finding anything. Easy to use?  "I don't know - my daughter set it up."
  • Strange mysteries emanating from baby monitors
  • Uncle Tungsten by Oliver Sacks
  • Moonlight the movie
  • the Cheswick Goodwill as a source for more cashmere
