Hello Goodbye

Tradition has it that THE (or on of the) first Monday evening runs has to be set up at the Grüß-Di-A-Gott Wirt, well known venue of run # 1 in 1982. Again I was unable to attend but from what I heard from different sources rhymes not with C*** but rather with the following:
Start punctually at 18:30, do not wait for the latecomers but leave a little extra flower on the track, and, us usual, the only way is all the way up to the Habsburgerwarte.
Leave a few not so fast ones behind and meet them again on bottom of the hill (on the other side of course) and then avanti avanti back to the Carpark. Enjoy a few drinks, have a birthday celebrity present (Mr. Soul Survivor of Run # 1 in 1982)

 
and finish all this off with an extended meal at the Gasthaus.

On On to the Wolf, our friend from Frankfurt who passed away a week ago. 



and - bien sur - the local equivalent being led by Mr. You Know Who:

Run for Water

was being held earlier today from the Steinspornbrücke onwards, hared by Lord Glo-Balls (OVH). Check out the Website for this global Event to get some more info. I can't comment much on the run since I have not been there but, judging from Hash Flash Fotos, fun was had by all.

I just learned that the Wolf, a friend of the Vindobona Hash and a main organizer of many Hash Travels and a main force with the Frankfurt H3 has passed away. Let's raise a glass to this Gentleman. I know I will. And try to remember him, in Langschlag in 2002 of course on the occasion of our 1000th as well as on many other occasions thereafter. I'm glad I could make his acquaintance.

Can't think of a more fitting song for all this, from the great Mark Knopfler. From the Dire Straits' first album in 1978.
On Out.
