So many decisions could have been bad!

April 22 Run: meet at Biddle's Escape, 401 Biddle Ave., Wilkinsburg for special tour!

On Sunday, we'll meet at Biddle's Escape once again.  Aimee has arranged for us to get a special tour of Wilkinsburg with Borough Councilperson Mike Lefebvre, adding more civic enlightenment to the social, culinary, travel, entertainment and philosophical education that we absorb while running.  Pretty great for Sunday before 8 am!

Last week, Karen had the excellent and prescient idea of taking in the spring blossoming trees before they were blasted by a week of snow and frigid winds. We should not take any metaphorical significance from this however.

Many endorsements from the Coffee Tree (where I'll bet they have reignited the fireplace today.)

  • Big Bend National Park - described as a place where "night skies are dark as coal and rivers carve temple-like canyons in ancient limestone" - wow!  Not to be confused with the Big Ben Park dahntahn.
  • Dance party at Jergel's in Warrendale
  • Pouring extra-virgin olive oil on pasta before the sauce, especially on those little pillows of pasta with pear filling.
  • Book:  The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken
  • Airbnb Experiences - now in addition to places to stay - some amazing things to do
  • High School Musical season is now happening!  (Hope this is not too late.)
  • Sabatini cork-soled shoes?  I couldn't locate them online but evidently they are at Little's
