May 31 Run: 10th COVID edition, Destination: Oakland! Anywhere you like, then on to the coffee zoom

This week we recommend roaming around Oakland, though unfortunately you can't get into the famous basement bathroom in the Cathedral of Learning.  However, it's possible that St. Paul's will be open in our new yellow state - June is bustin' out all over evidently!  Though not at my house.  Karen won last week's spotting contest with 2.5 views of fellow RG members in Schenley Park.  It wasn't clear which half that was.  Also spotted by Aimee:

• Also, for Disney fans - "If Disney Songs Were About Quarantine"
• Hugelkultur - something about planting in raised beds

• Moth virtual story SLAM based in Pittsburgh, zoom to next one June 22.
• Stephen Colbert keeping us sane and laughing, despite that impossibility.
• Barack and Michelle (sorry, can't write for a minute due to crying jag) reading a book to children together (more crying.)
• Books:  Radical Spirit: 12 ways to live a free and authentic life, and The Library Book (with a jaw-dropping description of a library conflagration in Los Angeles).

• Zoom meetings with judge's dogs, patients in their underwear, and attorneys in bed
• Haircuts without talking!
