November 11 Run: meet at the JCC on Forbes Ave.

We'll meet at the JCC on Forbes (map), and give our love to Squirrel Hill.  There is also a totally optional participation in the "Virtual 5K Run/Walk to Benefit the Pittsburgh Jewish Community Center" which can be done simultaneously. I'm doing it for the t-shirt.

The last two runs have gone by in a flash. Memorable parts were:  finding Elaine and Aimee on the Strip in the dark via the blaze of Elaine's personal headlight, the still-warm almond meles at La Prima, and the technicolor leaves drifting down on us in Schenley Park. And the hugs of course that are helping everyone through this time.  Huge turnout last week, graciously documented by KDKA photographer Kenneth Sims!

Not to mention some endorsements:

• The RG's revitalized weekday run, every Wednesday at 5:45 from the Squirrel Hill Library corner - 5 runners last week! Just show up. Going that early feels kind of otherworldly.
• Taking the train to New York - long but so restful, plus the Horseshoe Curve.  Also to DC.
• Boden Sample Sale coming up Saturday! Convention Center, 10-4. 
• Choolah Indian restaurant - good for parties, great naan. 
• Plans for 25th RG reunion - in the works - brunch or dinner?  Here or there?
• The In Bed By 10 Dance Party - and the upcoming one on the 17th benefits Tree of Life.
• Books:  Unsheltered by Kingsolver, Alternate Sides by Quindlen, Anthony Trollope's 47 novels, Educated, A Memoir by Westover,  Paris by Book by Callahan
• Screen time:  Love, Gilda documentary, Jane the Virgin, Haunting of Hill House, the Jane Fonda movie with Robert Redford.
