So many decisions could have been bad!

March 27 Run/Walk: Meet at Cafetano Cafe on the Strip, Penn and 16th St.

We miss the Strip, and have been wanting to try this cafe for a while, so we'll meet at Penn Ave. and 16th St. and check out the Italian/Honduran offerings which look impressive.  Oh, yeah, we'll run and walk around the area also.

Meanwhile last week, under only a few drops of the threatened rain, we visited rarely-seen parts of Squirrel Hill (amazing that is still possible) such as Westland Drive, with long views, slightly rundown romantic mansions and bizarre constructions.  At a leisurely coffee we endorsed:

  • Getting your booster shot at Costco
  • The upcoming fall RG bike trip to Cumberland (yes, anyone getting this email is welcome!) for which please fill out this Doodle Poll to figure out dates.  We're thinking it will be a Fri-Sun but lots is still TBD.  
  • Read (naturally) The Great Allegheny Passage Companion
  • Taking a shower in plain sight of a zoom meeting (this actually happened)
  • Electrician:  Mendelson Electric
  • Watch:  Power of the Dog (harsh but memorable), Friday Night Lights (old but great), Dopesick (upsetting but important) Curb Your Enthusiasm (none of the above)
  • Get ready for the upcoming May 17 primary - hear the US Senate Democratic candidates forum right here (really, please do, this is a crucial one)
  • Microsoft Teams Together Mode (we need to do this)
