With all kinds of griping and bitching about the perfectly beautiful weather, about 40 hounds of the infamous H4 met at the Middle Run Valley Nature Area near the tristate borders. Gomez came out of GM retirement to handle the circle-up festivities where cherries and visitors were introduced and clued in on the arcane flour-marked symbols that we use to confuse the hounds on trail. A noteworthy visitor was Art Carey of the Philadelphia Inquirer who had hashed with us about six years ago and then proceeded to expose our pathetic, infantile shenanigans in an Inquirer article. This was a setback for our efforts to get Hashing added as an official Olympic sporting event. Our hares, the notorious Dodge Boys (Weird Al, Son of a Ditch, and Queer Balls), finally got the sluggish pack of lard-ass hounds into the shiggy and before we could even work up a real head (Did somebody write `Head'?) Of steam, we were up to our navels in Middle Run Creek. This watery disaster where, miraculously, nobody slipped and fell into its polluted (probably) current, held our attention for more than a mile. At least the water was warm. After about 40 minutes in water world, we emerged into the land of rocky woodland trails and wildflower meadows until we arrived at the beer stop. From there, it was a beautiful system of trails, with enough check points to keep us honest, until we got back to our cars after a bit more than an hour on trail. We proceeded to circle-up reverently for the religious ceremony where down-downs were administered to the hares (several times), our band of virgins and visitors, a Hashus Interruptus or two, and a few other victims accused of real and imagined violations. Before darkness set in, a convoy headed for the Apres at QB's digs — which your scribe will assume was excellent although, regretfully, he was not able to be there.
