Better flat than dead | Long Time Gone

***And yet, here I am, still livin’ the life.***

On and on it goes, where it stops nobody knows. Yesterday’s Hash adventure was pretty tame, at least the way I did it. It rained most of the morning, and there was an announcement that the planned Hash trail was cancelled and that we’d be meeting up at Barretto High School for a street walk instead. Not long after that, another notice was posted saying disregard the previous notice; the Hash trail would commence as originally planned. I guess the Hares changed their mind. I didn’t, though. My group met up with Pubic Head at Barretto High School and did an unchallenging street walk. From what I heard from those who did the real trail, it was a wet and muddy mess. So, no regrets about my choice.

***My hike mates on the streets of Barretto. Well, Dagupan Street, to be specific.***

***A new On-Home venue on Baloy Beach this week. I really like this place a lot!***

***A sign I liked behind the bar. I give my brain the night off every day!***

***Three of my favorites (L-R):*** ***Fast and Loose, Always Wet, and Goat Fucker.***

***Always Wet and Goat Fucker were the Hares this week.***

***Our two newly named Hashers are Semen Extinguisher and Fat Bastard. I’ll leave it to you to decide which is which.***

***Pubic Head got the Hashit this week.***

***His crime? Showing up one minute late for Saturday’s 7-Eleven Hash run.***

At the conclusion of the Hash Circle, it was off to It Doesn’t Matter for some after-Hash debauchery before making my way back home for a good night’s sleep.

Facebook memories for today:

***Ten years ago, I was walking this path in Seoul. Damn, I miss that first-world infrastructure.***

***Before I retired at the end of 2010, I’d left this tab hanging in the men’s toilet of my office building. When I got rehired in 2015, it was still there. Talk about leaving a mark in the world!***

From the July 2020 LTG archives, I was living in the moment. Jessa, the gal I’d been dating, messaged me asking, “Are you happy? Yes or no?” I responded by sending her the lyrics to that Jason Mraz song. I guess that scared her off. I always regretted not trying harder to make it work with her. Thanks for nothing, Jason!

In today’s YouTube video, the vlogger discusses the costs and benefits of living in Panglao, Bohol. I found it quite interesting because, if I had to move from Barretto, Panglao would be near the top of my list of options. They don’t have a Hash there, but otherwise I felt right at home.

Humor time:

***No, thanks. Give me some Nancy instead!***

***And the doctor said, I’m going to need to amputate…***

***Well, at least the car will still be as good as new when you start paying interest.***

And that’s all I’ve got for today. There’s another birthday party on tap today, this time at It Doesn’t Matter. Hey, any excuse for a cold beer will do!
