This week there is a holiday run/walk TOMORROW, Christmas Day at 7:30 at the 61C. And on Sunday, meet at Yinz Coffee in Bloomfield, 4525 Liberty Ave.
Last week we wandered among the ghostly elegant statues of Allegheny Cemetery and thereabouts, dodging the goose droppings and saluting several young bucks along the way (the deer kind.) At the Ineffable, the atmosphere/coffee was fine but the cookies could break your teeth. If we return, maybe BYOBaked goods. We were still able to voluminously chat, endorsing:
- The good Felician Sisters, who have two surprise RG connections.
- The special Holiday Tour at the Frick, especially one given by Linda.
- Driftwood Oven Pizza in Lawrenceville - sad they don't open until 11 - this pizza could make a great breakfast.
- Casa del Tequila restaurant in Squirrel Hill - evidently the name says it all because the food is meh but still 2 thumbs up.
- Istanbloom Mediterranean looks adorable - promises a New Year's Eve party.
- Read or watch Hamnet (book, movie).
- Massage guns, available at the JCC - look in the recovery room
- Avoid a bloody horror scene: Aimee shares the right way to peel a pomegranate.
Resistance action of the week: Tell Rep. Summer Lee (here) and Sen. Fetterman (here) to make publicized oversight visits to the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in central PA, the largest ICE detention center in the Northeast, with about 1600 inmates. Conditions there are known to be abusive and dangerous, with 2 deaths reported. Rep. Lee tried and failed to enter in August but efforts should be repeated - unannounced prison oversight is a Congressional legal right, and our legislators should be drawing attention to this.
