It was a good one

Posted on by

I wasn’t sure what to expect from our beautiful Hariettes yesterday, but I wound up being very pleasantly surprised. How good was the trail? Well, I didn’t have to shortcut. Granted, there was a long (6.5K) and a short (4.5K) option, and I went with the lesser one. That turned out to be a good choice for me because the two moderate climbs took about all I had in me to complete. That said, I really enjoyed the trail, especially the portion I hadn’t done in so long that it felt almost new again. The trail was well-marked, and the gals obviously put a lot of effort into creating two versions that were pleasing for both hardcore Hashers and old farts like me.

Two of the three Hares: Fast and Loose and My Mouth Is Shut.
Hashers gathered at the start.
And we are On-On!
Let the climbing commence.
Through the jungle.
A Barretto view.
We were blessed with good weather.
And only a couple of potential pitfalls.
If you got lost with all the marks, it was your own damn fault.
That’s always a good sign.
Our On-Home venue was at Hasher Pecker Checker’s house in the Magdalena subdivision.
Chillin’ before the circle.
Hares on the ice. That’s Boom Boom Manana on the right.
The long and short options.

Some after-Hash fun at It Doesn’t Matter brought another Hash Monday to a close. I’m learning to savor the moments while they last.

A little surprise on my journey through the LTG archives from April 2014: a post about my first time meeting the esteemed Kevin Kim. It was nice to meat with you at the Brazilian steak house.

Facebook had a memory for me from eight years ago:

A trip to Boracay to celebrate Loraine’s 50th birthday. Two weeks later, she confessed to being in love with someone else.

Too bad I hadn’t learned the lessons that Smart Girl Philippines offers in her YouTube videos. Here’s today’s guidance:

Maybe these will be worth a smile or three:

Definitely didn’t strike gold with this one.
Something doesn’t add up here.
Hmm, I’d never considered that possibility before.

And that’s all I’ve got for today.

  1. That’s always a good sign.

    For a glorious second, I thought that that said, “Beef near.” That would’ve motivated me.

    That’s Boom Boom Manana on the right.

    “Manana,” rhymes with “banana,” or “Mañana” (mah-nyah-nah)?

    Thus began my linguistic nightmare.

    I’m glad the walk went well. It sounds as if they should be Hares more often.

  2. Kevin, beef is especially good when served with beer!

    It is the Spanish pronunciation of “manana.” She runs the Manana hotel here in Barretto. I’m guessing you figured out the meaning of “boom boom” in the PI.

    Regarding the linguistic nightmare, at least I’m not totally worthless; I can always serve as a bad example.
