Late Monday evening, the PAX checked the Q sheet – lo and behold, Shorty was listed! Could it be? Would he make a long-awaited return to the Stomp?
Short answer: No.
But that didn’t stop the 4 PAX who gathered to dash off into the thick soupy fog. Typical Stomp: 20 mins out and back, saving some time for Mary. Thanks, Smooth, for hanging back with me for the outbound leg. Great chit-chat. As YHC turned at Tulane for the return trip, Smooth decided to continue the outbound. Whoosh – he disappeared into the gloom. YHC returned, crossing paths with Woz and Hawg on the way back. And of course, as we neared the Shovel Flag – Smooth sailed past us, barely breaking a sweat.
Finished up with some Mary around the flag. Thanks for the great run, gentleman. Maybe next week, we’ll see Shorty again.
