THEY'RE ALL AGAINST ME!

Cads!  Quietly biding their time as if it were a normal hash and not some
insidious, back-stabbing subterfuge!  Should have known at the start that evil
was afoot when the LRF ran my sprained ankle through acres of crusted,
rut-filled, dried mud - softening it up for the kill!  I limped through
ill-named Princeton Walk, the most-mutated miasma of acreage in the entire
state, eventually emerging at (West) New Road Park (big surprise) where naive as
I was, I waited up to make sure all were present.  Disturbed by my minus 1 head
count, I remained screaming as those ingrates continued on, unconcerned that our
new boot had no doubt Shuffled Off to Buffalo.  Later I realized this was their
first attempt to lose me, preying on my good nature.  But I didn't trust my math
that well, so I continued on.

Then the LRF, that snake, ran the trail right past "the house" with it's siren
call luring me to my doom as before, and would have again if not for Safe Sweats
and Bill lagging back just enough for me to rejoin those slithering, slimy
cutthroats parading as comrades.  Genghis Khan territory, once a flat land of
mud, had now become the product of an over-eager landscaper - a hilly hash hell
- tall white houses - all alike - enclosed by white picket fences that make
shortcutting near impossible.  No doubt this terrain was part of the overall
conspiracy.

Despite their worst laid plans, sagacity and instinct honed from 15 years of
experience brought me within a whiff of the cooler.  Panicked, all their plans
in shambles, they resorted to blatant deception and heartless treachery.  First
they sent the women to distract me (as well as IUTHW, he does have nice legs)
while the Geezer yelped ON ON frantically in the opposite direction.  The LRF
then laid down the end of the trail after I had departed the scene.   (He
claimed "a car may have been on top of the last mark" but who could believe that
a veteran such as I could have possibly missed such an obvious trail.  No no,
this was no doubt pernicious perfidy.)  But even at that, the deception was not
complete, as Big Nut, the Geezer and I-sore continued to invent a non-existent
trail, urging me onward to check the road beyond.  The Geezer, I could have
imagined, was merely suffering from his usual delirium, if it weren't so clear
that this time all had conspired against me.  No sooner had I ventured onto the
road, sacrificing myself solely for the benefit of my friends and buddies in an
attempt to find the trail, as I have done so many many times in the past, when
suddenly all were gone and no sound was heard except the occasional whirring of
a hungry lawnmower waiting for a foolish short-cutter.  The trap was
complete - I was fenced in white picket!

When I had completed the 3 mile run back to the van I discovered that they
had taken the jar of strawberries I had left too.  Where is Jose Ferrer 
when you need him?
