So many decisions could have been bad!

April 17 Run/Walk: Meet at 61C Cafe for a close-to-home Easter Sunday route



On Easter Sunday, we'll start and end at the old fave 61C to hop around Squirrel Hill and environs. (For those newly on the list, this means Murray and Bartlett at 7 am on Sunday.)   This will put us equidistant to Frick Park, Schenley Park, and B'nai Emunoh, all excellent destinations.  If the latter, Wendy will tell us how to pronounce it.

Last week we did some serious recon in Frick Park surrounding the Bridge-that-isn't-there-anymore. All those orange plastic fences are sad! But they are working on it. Endorsements:

  • Getting your booster at the Pitt Covax Center. It’s free to everyone and super easy in-out. They validate your parking below Soldiers and Sailors and you’re tended to by friendly nursing and pharmacy students. You can sign up here
  • Gretchen is running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon and simultaneously raising funds for Magee-Womens Research Institute, professional home of Janet, so 2 great things at once.
  • Going places seems to be getting harder - lots of late or cancelled flights.  I guess we're endorsing staying home.
  • Where there is still Magic!  Meaning Liberty Magic downtown, shows every Wed - Sun nights, fun and definitely offbeat.
  • Get a job: the Allegheny County Virtual Career Fair, which, even though it took place today, apparently "will remain open 24/7 for 30 days." 
  • Watch:  "Servant of the People" on Netflix - a Ukrainian TV series from 2015+ in which the real Volodymyr Zelenskyy played a comic role of an accidental President.  It's not only prescient, it's really good!  But the loveliness and normalcy of Kiev will break your heart.
