May 1 - we made it through another covid winter! Just barely. And Sunday is both Marathon Day and Pitt Graduation (thank you Sharon for the reminder.) We'll do our usual thing: RG non-racers will meet at Fifth and Beechwood and maybe head down the race route to check out preparations. Park wisely. To the racers: whoa, you can still do this!
Last week was the long-awaited trek through Bloomfield, down the hill into the rarely seen and fairly ragged area underneath. We found the TryTryTry steps. Some of us got to the tail end of Art All Night on the Strip, others to Friendship Park. Coffee at Yinz was only marginally comfy - maybe we need more tattoos. But as usual, some endorsements:
- Gretchen's Half-Marathon fundraiser for Magee Womens Research. Go Gretchen!
- Podcasts: Tiffany Dover is Dead - how conspiracy theories happen, and Hidden Brain - Why Conversations Go Wrong, and Outlaws - "hot, urban flavor"(or was it the TV Series Outlaws? Lots of outlaws out there.)
- Daily news insight with history and sense: Heather Cox Richardson
- Plumbers: Pawlak and Restano. Or post on Thumbtack if you're adventurous.
