This Made My Morning

Every week, Google sends me an email alert with links to newspaper, web, and blog posts about the Hash House Harriers. This morning I got one that included this link:

Has anyone here started up a Hash House Harriers kennel?

I’ve started a few kennels myself and have written articles and blog posts on the [...]
