(Thanks Joanne!)

January 5 Run/Walk: Meet at the Tazza D'Oro, 1125 N. Highland Ave.

We'll meet in the familiar space of Tazza D'Oro in Highland Park, maybe salute the hallowed ground of Roland Ford's line dancing, maybe see the sunrise over the reservoir, maybe take an alternate foray into Morningside - sigh, wish I could be there this time.

Last week was another twofer, Five Points and Homewood Cemetery (aka The Cemmie) and New Year's Day at 61C.  Rain and snow was predicted but the weather gods sheltered us as always.  Confident of that, 15 of us showed up on Sunday! Or possibly it was the heavenly aromatic baked goods at FP.  Crows were gloriously abundant, as they always are in the winter dawn.  There was talk too boisterous to cover adequately, but a few highlights:

• Delightful wedding accounts and photos raised all spirits.
• There are heated vests!  Now on sale.
• Save the date - the Small Hours Trio (with their remarkable vocalist) will be at Con Alma Jazz Bar on Sunday, Jan. 19, 5 pm.
• Mittens continue to be made.  We are reminded that these evolved from the very same pattern made famous by Bernie Sanders.  Sewing tips on these available from Elaine, Wendy, and Roye.
• There was something about kedgeree and Kate Winslet, not sure if they were related.
• Watch:  Landman, Somebody Somewhere, The Three Body Problem.
• Vieques is luminescent.  And so is the sunrise these days (see photo.)
