May 10 Run: 7th COVID edition, same drill, move around somehow and zoom in at 8

Our Internet stopped working this morning and I thought it was the end of civilization.  Then I thought it was the beginning of civilization.  Then it came back on.
For Sunday (tomorrow), here's the link for coffee - be there.  Still waiting for the surprise new face!

Join East End Runners  for virtual coffee after your actual solo run!
Meeting ID: 819 900 089

We had 14 RG members at the last zoom, and it was delightful.  Recently recommended:
  • Purple haze hair color - looks fabulous on Aimee and Greta anyway.
  • The 61C is still open for takeout
  • Virtual Zumba - ask Wendy
  • Hiking and biking - you CAN get out!  Places not too far away are wide open:  Ghost Town TrailWolf Creek Narrows, Sandy Creek Trail, Allegheny River Trail
  • Mornings in the basketball court at Blue Slide Park - lots of davening going on.
  • TV series:  Unorthodox
  • Book: Educated
  • Movie:  Bad education (is there a theme here?)
  • Zoom breakout rooms (really?)
  • GET YOUR MAIL-IN BALLOT NOW please!  Here is the application!  Joanne tells us there are only going to be 150 polling locations - down from 1300! - in all of Allegheny County.  
  • Gretchen sent in this beautiful piece of music from her former choir in Italy which was recorded in honor of the victims of the pandemic (music starts about halfway through.)  Let Gretchen know if you want to learn more.
  • Also on my list was the Disney Singalong. Perhaps this is a comment on Italian culture/US culture. No judging!
  • Also, the Parks and Recreation special is adorable and harks back to the unimaginable days of the Obama administration.   SNL has also been pretty good lately.
  • It must have been water guru Beth who told us about analyzing sewer samples to see where COVID-19 is spreading.
  • The painfully early 5:45 am Wednesday and Friday Run is still going!  Meeting at corner of Murray and Forbes, and distancing is comme il faut.
