Preaching by the Roadside

Lovely My Sisters Glowing (aka Afterglow) set yet another run up at the Baumgartner Höhe, venue of very many runs throughout the year. The Baumgartner Höhe houses a huge hospital for several kinds of mental diseases and a pavillon called Vindobona. One could think that this Hash Chapter had been founded up there, way back in time when Leonid Brezhnev still ruled and Andropov was  not the name of my cat but rather that of the former KGB Chief. Anyhow.
I got stuck in traffic and arrived a little late, together with Joystick and the delectable Standing There. In no time were we able to catch up and the usual jog alongside the brickwall that surrounds the Steinhofgründe followed. Somehow or other that run looked like a rerun from the backend from one course back in March or April, and even a different starting point (carpark at the Johann Staud Gasse) was incorporated.
Munk and I avoided the Songstop and decided to head back all the way through the Steinhofgründe, alongide the Kirche am Steinhof and through the park of the hospital.

Say what?

The circle was a rather casual affair with lots of crisps and cold beer and the naming of No Balls Prize son who got the charming name of No Balls Surprize. Lots of mosquitos again. And, let me tell you, this is the season of the Winefestivals all around the place. If you're not from Vienna then try to just come along for a run with us in the summer and then have one or a few nice glasses of wine. Check the Whineroad link in my favourite thingie list. Although not really fitting to Austrian Winefestivals (or is it?); here is a little article about cheese and sex in France.

On Out with Pirron und Knapp to brush up your German skills a bit.
