Well, that’s not really fair. Fact is we weren’t on a trail.

One of the characteristics of the Wednesday Walkers that differs from Hashing is that there is no prearranged trail. Usually someone takes the lead and we just see where the path takes us. Except when we lose the path.

And by wrong I mean coming down a steep hillside with no trail whatsoever…we were blazing a new path! And what a path it was. Vines and roots grabbing at the ankles. Vines wrapping around your waist. Ducking under branches only to have vines tangled around your neck. Sometimes all at once. It was a freakin’ nightmare. We all survived without injury although a couple of us were on our ass almost as much as on our feet. But once we had started down no one was willing to try and climb back up. That’s how it goes sometimes I suppose.

It was a mostly good day.

And last night I played darts at Alley Cats. I always have low expectations given my penchant for not giving a damn practicing. Surprised myself by taking first place with my partner Gerlie. Undefeated through the winners bracket and took out rivals Steve (who beat me in the MVP) and Alan (who I always enjoy beating). It’s doubles though so I can’t take all the credit. I threw much better than normal as did my partner.

Good times in the Philippines!
