Feb. 24 Run: Highland Park from Tazza D'Oro, 1125 N Highland Ave.

Back to Highland Park (thank you, Joanne!) home of the brilliant sunrise over the reservoir and the ever-evolving Tazza D'oro - what will we find this time?  I hope at least the apple dumplings.

Last week we revisited the adorable and quirky Staghorn Home & Garden Cafe which, as we suspected from this photo is a bit David Lynch-esque.  We also did a backwards run through Schenley Park which looked spookily different and added to the Twin Peaks vibe.  But the scones were definitely worthy of the BRITISH BAKING SHOW which must now be included in every post.  We endorsed:

• New dates for the RG Happy Hours at the Wm Penn Hotel downtown:  now the first Tuesday of every month, the next being MARCH 5 at 5:30 - everyone come!
• Wendy's Zumba class on Thursdays at 5:45 at LA Fitness! Just email her if you want to drop in.
• Weddings!  Much better when they are someone else's.  Even though you can marry yourselves in PA. But can you marry yourself?
• Related to that - vows.  Not necessarily the one someone recalled that "promised a life of struggle."  
• Also related - here's a shoutout to Jacquie!  Now in faraway Iowa, we fondly recalled her time with the group, her marvelous wedding at Sandy's house, and her visit with husband and new baby.
• Game of Thrones - just the whole thing, it's fascinating.  This article in the New Yorker from 2011 tells how George R R Martin was almost killed by his fans.
• TV - Schitt's Creek on Netflix.  Also for foreign language shows - use dubbing so you can cut out your mittens while watching.
