July 20 Run/Walk: Meet at Sharon's house, 5612 Woodmont, for annual Grand Prix run-through

We'll meet at Sharon's and make our yearly visit to the lineup of fancy cars in Schenley Park. En route, we may also visit the wall of international snacks at Vendor Bender (open 24 hrs).  Then a return to Sharon's delightful backyard for coffee and a customary deep analysis of goings-on. 

Last week we toured the leafy fields and spacious yards of McCandless - and were reminded that Beth and Gretchen get up MUCH earlier than we do on Sundays and we are grateful!  Beth's yummy shakshuka and many other delights provided us with the strength needed to face each day in these times.  But at least we can take a break and kibitz:

  • Do you want to go bowhunting in the parks and snag a few deer?  Of course not, but evidently it's possible to become a trained archer.  Somebody knows how.
  • We loved Beth's beautifully balanced water pitcher - it's from Blenko Glass in WV
  • Some of us are trying to get used to back-up cameras and cars that scream at you.
  • Many TV shows from the 50's and 60's were endorsed, even by some who were not even born when they came out. Youtube has them all:  check out Peyton Place.
  • What's with the Ebisu Japanese Life Store?  
  • And don't even think of entering the creepy jewelry store on Forbes in Oakland. "Any sane person would quickly turn around."
