May 22 Run/Walk: Meet at The Abbey, 4635 Butler St., in Lawrenceville

Old favorite The Abbey, on Butler near 47th in deep Lawrenceville, which as long been closed or semi-open, is now back on track.  We think it has patio seating, and if not there's always takeout and Allegheny Cemetery across the street if we want to be outside.  Will COVID every leave?  We will ask Dr. Sharon.

Last week Beth offered up the highlights of Millvale - both the frisson of getting lost in Girty's Woods Nature Preserve and the appeal of cute bars, shops, gardens, and riverfront.  Lincoln's P&G Diner warrants another try when it's not so full, but we were undaunted, found a park, and kept on talking.
Recommended:
  • Deckers Creek Trail in WVA
  • Read:  Women Don't Ask, and then, Ask for It - Linda Babcock's great advice to women who keep getting pushed off the ladder.  Also books on burnout by Kathleen Byers. 
  • Watch: CODA - heart, Tehran - suspense, and Slow Horses - just fun.
  • Regret: Jerry Kittman's chalushous Millvale furniture store, not there any more.
  • Beth's explanation of how small water renovation projects around the city, like the Wightman Street planters, are finally channeling the dreaded stormwater.  Love hydrologists!
  • Simon Girty.
