October 29 Run: Wendy Bennett Trailhead

My notes for this week's run say:  Wenbennett trail ---> stairs.  I have no idea what that means! But it surely starts at the Wendy Bennett Trailhead, where all good things begin - map here for anyone who needs one - also be there by 7 am.

Last week we went urban sightseeing - making our circuitous way through the gigantic Googleplex - more brand new hipster living spaces than we ever imagined tucked into the edges of Shadyside and East Liberty.  We saw Annie Dillard's childhood home.  We made it to the Trash Raccoon! (pictured - hint: it's upside down.)  Also Chris' very own factory (ElectroGrip) for nanofabrication system support (customers include NASA) - wow!  And some rather philosophical graffiti.

Zeke's Coffee turned out to be perfectly accommodating - a cozy corner table, fine coffee options and very toothsome pastries. 
And many, many things under discussion:
Ultimate frisbee in Australia
The amazing Harry Houdini and various entertainments with him as a character:  Side Show (musical) and FairyTale (movie).
Letters (aerograms!) that we used to write - now what?
A romantic Pam and Chris story
What to do about Equifax?
The Dino skeleton on Solway and the Zombie on Aylesboro
Pronouns - who knew they would become so complicated?
Prison Break (TV) and tattoos therein
FREE tickets (with membership) from Seatstir.
