I guess I’ve reached the stage of my Hash career where I shortcut without shame. The Hash should be something I enjoy, not a chore. Yesterday was no exception. The Hare’s laid a good and well-marked trail, but when it was time to climb up to the Black Rock ridge, the like-minded Hash group and I opted to go longer and flatter. And it worked out just fine that way.
The trail started at the VFW and passed through Alta Vista. So, I waited here. Bug Fucker was the first Hasher to appear, but I hung around until the group who hike at my pace came by.And here they come nowThe neighborhood German has “Sans Souci” on the wall of his residence, which resolves the mystery of the words the Hares left on the pole nearby.Almoranus, the German Hare for yesterday’s trail, confirmed the message was intended for the dwelling’s occupant. “A pleasure palace without worry,” indeed!Out of the ‘hood we goOver the river on Bridge #3The river I mentionedWe were pretty much retracing the Candy Walk route so far.Entering San Isidro’s Purok 3Pubic Head’s shot of Easter MountainThe way up to the Black Rock ridge. This is where we parted company with the Hare’s trail.We did a nice flat valley walk insteadUp top there is where we did not treadThe Black RockWe did do one climb up some steps and rejoined the Hare’s trail where it came down from Black Rock.On-On!That’s always a welcome signOnward we treadSwan waiting on her slowpoke manAnd then down we goMy Easter Mountain shotIt better be!On the Govic HighwayArriving at our On-Home venue at last!I enjoy the outdoor ambiance hereCums Alone, as last week’s Hashit recipient, prepares to pass it onThe honor was bestowed on Buddy Fucker’s Wet Spot this week.As is our custom, some of the Hashers gathered at IDM when the Hash was over.The “hard” portion of the trail is in red, and the “long” part is in yellow.Us flatlanders had an 8K journey.
A better day on the diet journey as well.
I limited myself to “only” ten beers.
Weather is warming up here again, but nine years ago I was experiencing this:
Snow on the streets of Seoul
And eight years ago, my still undiagnosed lung issues had me hocking up phlegm all night long.
Things are so much better for me now!
For today’s YouTube video, we’ll have a little fun with Mikey Bustos. He’s such a Filipino!
And here’s some more fun:
Easy mistake to makeI think you’ve got that backwardsNot if he jumps out the Windows
Okay, thanks for dropping by. I’ll be back with more tomorrow.
I’m not sure how anyone would not have heard this song long ago, but these guys claim this is their “first time hearing” reaction:

re: “My Way”
Have you heard the Robin Williams version from the movie “Happy Feet”? One of Williams’s characters is a Latin penguin.
Looks to have been a good walk, shortcut or not. Nice to have like-minded cohorts.
From a previous post: just so we’re clear, “sans” means “without.” So if you ordered your pork sandwich “sans bread,” then there’s no need to say you’ll order it without bread next time. ‘Cause you just did.
Your first paragraph was exactly what I was thinking. If doing a fun thing becomes work, then it is not fun anymore.
Re: “First” listen video. Yeah, a song like My Way is so ubiquitous that seems hard to imagine they have never heard it. But, I guess their whole channel is based on “first listen” so they have to keep up appearances. LOL
Brian, precisely. And some Hares do shitty trails that put you at risk. Nope, that’s not what I came for.
Yeah, I wonder if some of those “first times” are legit. I’m way older than them, of course, but when I was a kid I’d see Ed Sullivan or American Bandstand on TV and get exposed to music I’d never heard on my transistor radio. I’m not sure how they could have avoided being exposed to the oldies, but whatever. Some of them are fun to watch.
Kev, Nope, I’d never seen penguin sing. Thanks for the link!
I’d wager our “sane” group of Hashers outnumbers the hardcore folks most of the time.
Regarding the pulled pork, I just ordered the sandwich. Once I’d scrapped the meat off the bread, I realized that I’d wasted a perfectly good bun. I doubt the waitress will know what “sans” means, so I’ll just say, “pulled pork sandwich with no bun, please.”
