So many decisions could have been bad!

December 22 Run/Walk: Meet at the Wm. Penn lobby for the annual Dahntahn Holiday Run

We'll go back to the William Penn Hotel Lobby, (map) dear to our hearts, to start our annual appreciation of holiday extravagance in our fair city. 

Last week was.a delightful scamper through Allegheny Commons Park and environs.  Tasteful holiday decor in the Mexican War Streets, a historic garden, Lake Elizabeth slightly frozen over, the condors at the Aviary and a rundown from Tracy who works there, George W. on his horse, and then a cozy gathering at Yinz Coffee, which we hope will survive the encroachment of bigshot Starbucks across the street.  So much to discuss.

  • Uncommon holiday movies:  The Holiday Movie, It's Complicated, Something's Got to Give, Love Actually. 
  • And old movies:  Meet John Doe, High Noon, Our Town (with Paul Newman - and Grant reminds us he's from Shaker Heights.)
  • Pearls - we want them to come back.
  • There is a Macbook sale at Costco
  • You can get deals on next year's streaming services for Black Friday, which unfortunately is already past.  Maybe still available?
  •  Friday Night Lights to reboot soon.  Connie! Her hair!
  • When do boys have awareness?  Around 40 was the consensus.
  • Why does the text chain for the group have a chili pepper identifier 🌶?
