Sunday we'll swing around Swissvale, but tomorrow (sorry, this is a bit late 😬) is the annual New Year's Day holiday run starting at 61C at the late hour of 7:30.
Last week we also had a twofer, on Christmas Day, touring the familiar grace of Chatham campus and surrounding mansions, redolent of the 1%, and then on Sunday, into the strange depths of Lower Bloomfield where apparently there are hobbits (photos below).
Much talk ensued of course, only some of which will appear here.
- Apparently there is a Feast of the Seven Pigs.
- Chatham campus is lit by gaslight at nightime (and some daytime these days).
- We reminisced about when Tom led us on a themed run: Homes of the Bad Judges. Tom claims that he has no recollection of this.
- Advice: work on your core, and use less detergent.
- Watch documentaries: Jayne Mansfield and Queen Victoria.
- Watch Rob Reiner's movie The American President, if only for the last speech.
- Read Chris Armitage on Substack for some bracing political commentary.
- There is Senior Tax Relief available from Allegheny County.
- New bagels in town on Liberty Avenue, judged "meh".
Resistance action of the week: Try to repair your mental health by not reading any political news for an entire day.
