You need serious training.

Saturday -- the middle of Balticon -- I hared for DCH4.  That's one of
the local groups in the Hash House Harriers -- The Drinking Club with a
Running Problem.

Saturday morning Just Nancy and I set the trail (marked the course the
runners would be following that afternoon).  After that we hit the
grocery store and the liquor store (for the beer of course).

We then prepared dinner -- actually Just Nancy did most of the work.

After setting the runners off on the trail I came back and started
drinking some beer (with Just Nancy).  Then the runners showed up.

We ate and drank some more.  Until very late.

I still managed to show up Sunday afternoon to pick up my art.

For shame, Cathy!!!  Only four days?  Interhash in Cardiff in July will
be longer than that.  I still remember Truro's Total Eclipse Hash in
1999 -- a solid week of debauchery.  Followed by West London's Friday
the 13th Weekend.  Do come train with us, Cathy.  We can help.  We can
turn you into a marathon runner who stops at mile 19 for a beer.

Oh, Just Nancy is now known as Mad Cow.

And now back to your regularly scheduled nonsense....
