Hurray! Another holiday run on a Saturday followed by another the usual Sunday. New Years Day run: meet at 61C (will they be open?) Then on Sunday, meet at Starbucks at Waterfront for Homestead run. A holiday gift: double RG-time! This time we'll have to gauge (COVID-wise) whether we're having coffee inside. If we have to go back to constant zoom I may explode.
But last week we were still in a fairly normal mode, and hung out in the 61C and La Prima with some abandon, after cloudy but merry excursions through Squirrel Hill and the Strip/Herr's Island. We have notes only from one day but that was quite enough:
- Billie joined us for coffee! At Hillel she became Morah Billie.
- Offspring - the endorsement that never ends.
- Subscribe to socks
- or get serious with Haflinger Felt clogs
- Read the Squirrel Hill book
- Go to Curative to get a PCR test
- Manischewitz barley vegetable soup tastes the same as it did in the 1960's! It's the Jewish madeleine.
- Microwavable heated snake from Etsy gets Wendy thru the winter.
Run/Walk Christmas 2021
‘Twas the morning of Christmas, the year ‘21
Of course, we had scheduled a holiday run
The weather was chilly, a light rain prevailed
The streets were all quiet, the gifts had been mailed
The start time was nearing at 61C
Not knowing which runners and walkers we’d see…
And who would appear to run/walk and schmooze?
Turned out to be only the Christmas ‘morn Jews
Come Maxine and Wendy, come Roye and Elaine
Who cares that its chilly and pouring down rain?
And we weren’t the only ones out and about
Its Christmas on Shabbos, so no one’s left out!
The route was on sidewalks, avoiding the mud
Who knew the real threat was a possible flood?!
Then, just as we all had really been hopin’
The 61C turned out to be open!
And Billie showed up with stories to tell
Mostly about her job at Hillel
May your next year be free of a sniffle or cough
Merry Christmas to all and a big Mazel Tov!
