December 3 Run: Annual Downtown Holiday Run - meet at the Omni William Penn lobby

It's that time again!  Sleighbells are ringing. We're meeting at the William Penn hotel lobby, one of my favorite places in the world.  Route will be to any holiday-themed installation in the vicinity - come with your favorite one and we'll visit. We will as usual judge whether the Hanukah menorah is acceptable.  Warning:  there are a lot of stops, but they are fun.

We had 2 runs last week (not counting the weekday ones - which are still happening at the ferocious hour of 5:30 am from Murray/Forbes corner.)  We hit Homewood Cemetery and Chatham campus, and had the annual discussion of turkey frying, which apparently is only done by inebriated men who somehow escape 3rd degree burns and a general conflagration.

Over the new meles at 61C, we endorsed (besides the meles - though not quite up to Colangelo's)

• New runner Mita's Monday Ashtanga Yoga class! Mondays, 6-7:15 pm - Schoolhouse Yoga, Squirrel Hill studio, Murray Ave., corner of Phillips.  (True: Ashtanga yoga changed my life.)
• Movies:  Lady Bird (see with a daughter if you can) and Coco (a loving and delicious escape from... OK, won't go there today of all days on which a vote will be taken that will annihilate... never mind.)

• Audiobook: Bossypants by Tina Fey - we need to laugh
