April 10 Run/Walk: Meet at the Frick Environmental Center (aka Nature Center) parking lot

On Sunday we'll meet at the parking lot for the Frick Environmental Center (map) - which was called the Nature Center when ye olde running group came across the smoldering ruins in August 2002.  And now it's a gleaming example of environmentalism.  Maybe giving some hope to counter the smoldering ruins that we see every day in the news.  Some runners will be attending the Bird Talk at 9, others will figure out where to schmooze instead.  Route may involve some bushwhacking and/or trespass. We are always prepared.

Last week we visited Garfield and were treated with many signs of urban renewal, wall art, and ruminant herbivores.  Endorsements included:

  • Dr. Sharon's help on dealing with new covid concerns: order your free government home tests before the money runs out (mine came in 3 days!) and think about timing your next booster closer to travel plans.  
  • Speaking of travel plans, we were informed of a whole world of aids for female peeing.  Also graphically warned about criminal consequences of not finding a bathroom - apparently a legal specialty. 
  • On to less biological topics:  Mother-of-the-bride facemask - basic black or matching the dress? Opinions varied.  
  • One Brilliant Boutique in Aspinwall. And the nearby Sol Collective for shoes.  And the nearby consignment store and Spark Books children's bookstore - Brilliant Ave. is the promised land.
  • Doorbells - do we really want to see what goes on?
