April 3 Run/Walk: Meet at Commonplace Coffee 5467 Penn Ave. in Garfield

Aimee has offered to lead a seldom-travelled Garfield route - so we'll meet at the Commonplace Coffee (aka Voluto) at 5467 Penn Ave. (across from the Glass Center) and head out from there.

The never-ending snow and ice did not deter the group from its appointed rounds on the Strip on Sunday, as we crossed and re-crossed on some slippy bridges.  A mysterious turtle on a historical medallion at the Point was later investigated and found to be a symbol of Native American influences, or perhaps just a turtle.  And the Oscar for best after-run ambiance goes to - Cafetano Coffee Roasters. ¡Maravilloso!  Where we endorsed:

  • Long lost Happy Hours!  So now we have one: come on down to the next RG Happy Hour, next Thursday April 7 at the Galley at Bakery Square! It's from 4:30-6:30 so show up whenever.  Even if you've never been on a run.
  • The salacious bridal showers of yesteryear - now you get an instant pot.
  • But an immersion blender is still loved.
  • As is a tree!  Tree Pittsburgh makes it easy.
  • Chuck Beard - his photos and his beard
  • Watch oldies:  Gilmore Girls, West Wing, Legally Blonde, Offspring (of course!!)
  • Listen to: All About Me - Mel Brooks audiobook
  • Read:  Fresh Water for Flowers
  • Social Security and the Spousal Benefit (oy, did we ever think we would be talking about this?
