We'll meet on Sunday morning at Biddle's (at Biddle and Trenton in Wilkinsburg) and get a head start on this neighborhood's famed Halloween decor on the way to Frick Park, starting to turn gold right now.
Reporting on last 2 weeks, one in Edgewood and the other Downtown: both had great weather, sights, comradeship, photos and endorsements:
- Pros and Cons of the JCC locker rooms: fancy or regular. Fancy is a bit pricey, but you get extras (sauna, free classes) and regular has more nakedness (which could make you feel somewhat better, comparatively.) Concerning the classes, Group Power is not for the accident-prone.
- Watch Nobody Wants This on Netflix
- Delightful visits from Galit, and my friend Leslie
- Updates on births and weddings, resulting in statements: "my 2 ex-husbands have never entered my house" and "every marriage is an intermarriage."
- Discovery that the renowned Tom Paxton was staying at Gretchen's house that weekend!
- Biking trips - next group one will be the Hudson Valley Tour in May. Recommended: Vermont Biking Tours (I think this is it.)
- En route to or from said trip, do not put your wallet on the top of the car.
- Visit Bryce Canyon, much prettier and less crowded than Grand. Also, get your Senior Pass to National Parks. This is more useful a Real ID, instead of which you can generally use a Passport Card.
- Don't forget to request your free Covid test (OMG why do we still need it.)
- May we all be written into the Book of Life, wherever you think it might be. And may Kamala and company be written into all the Ballots too.
