Hashing is family-friendly! |
So, while the walkers headed down the kind neighbors' driveway and strolled the woods paths, the runners wended their ways to Put Away Wet's, where they found -- a GLUGWEIN STOP! Wow. Meanwhile, I was tippy-toeing through the mud with INDY's camera, yearning for a warm drink. Anyway, boringly enough, Cums Too Fast finished too fast, though with Blow in the Hole not that far behind him, and well ahead of the rest of the pack, who spent about 90 minutes covering five or six miles. Incidentally, CTF, any chance you might someday mark a damn check? Brent, for reasons of his own, was carrying a plastic-foam tomahawk. Chip Off the Old Dick spent a long time ignoring a hare's arrow to look up and down Soapstone, suspecting an A-to-B trail that did not materialize.

There were a lot of Restoners out in the woods with their dogs on this relatively nice day, and one of them was accompanied by his brother, visiting from the Wild West (Warrenton & vicinity), where he runs with the Hillbilly Hash. The hasher is called Thang, or perhaps Richard. He and brother and the lab and the Pekingese stopped by the On In briefly and chatted with Spurt and others who occasionally join HBH3, and some who don't. We may see Richard again, as he's planning a move eastwards.
Speaking of that On In: many types of pasta with different sauces, tasty garlic toast and salad, the remains of the glugwein, and get this: hot chocolate sauce to top pound cake and fresh fruit. Unusually good, right? (There was also a pale sauce that might have been creme anglaise. I forgot to try it. Anyone know?) The house is ideally configured for chasing a six-year old around, which I am always happy to do. In a few years, I hope to perform the same service for Riley.
He takes a lot of chasing. |
And unusual excitement when the Mufti called the roll. BC3, who rarely even answers, "Here," not only had to admit to being present but also had to come forward -- to be congratulated on 11 years of wedded bliss and presented with an anniversary bouquet. To appropriate cheers, she bestowed a kiss upon our Mufti, as do we all, metaphorically at least. Heats it UP reluctantly emerged from the kitchen to accept raucous acclaim from the throng, and Job Blow and Put Away Wet got several cheers as well. Moaner Lisa is at 958 or thereabouts...
Hip, hip, ON ON!! |
