So many decisions could have been bad!

November 19 Run/Walk: Meet at Parisi Cafe 7107 Harrison Ave. in Swissvale AND Thanksgiving Holiday Run/Walk: meet at 61C at 7:30

We're meeting in front of the charming Parisi Cafe in Swissvale, 7107 Harrison Ave. (map).  Also it's an "Italian market" and "located in Rocco's Tavern", so not our usual hangout.  Routes are available to Swisshelm Park, the still midcentury (last one) Swissvale Center, or the once excitedly anticipated Edgewood Towne Centre (now a bit sad - should have predicted that from the ridiculous spelling.)  And don't forget our own Turkey Trot on T-Day from the default location, 61C, later than usual at 7:30.

On last Sunday, we scrunched into the tiny Redhawk coffee shop (thank you to the graciously nice guy who we elbowed into a corner) after a bracing Oakland excursion.  I don't know what runners did but walkers climbed the equivalent of 21 floors (re my Health app) up beyond the Peterson Center into a monstrous amount of construction. Hail to Pitt! (I always find that a little too close to Heil.)

Endorsements:

  • ¡España Hermosa!  Max reported on the fabulous retreat in southern Spain with Linda Meacci (RG's favorite yoga teacher), and there will be another one in Mexico in February:
  •  "Women in the Round" on the beach in Troncones (last year's was loved by Max and Wendy.)  If you're interested, check it out soon because Early pricing ends Dec. 1.
  • the Batman movie filmed in Pittsburgh  - all of it, but the scene of Heinz Field imploding is wild.
  • Feldenkrais movement therapy, we need everything we can get.
