It was Dessain and trekking. Prime-time for unverifiable excuses for not attending the hash. Including from the GM who was off to Dhankuta for some serious revelry. There was talk of Spare Part, not seen in the circle recently, being 'encouraged' to handle (a word he will support!) things for a week. He at least wouldn't be going anywhere near a hill. But this notion passed and the GM had to depart the smoke with the less than comforting words of Krishna in his ears: "perhaps I'll, maybe . . . etc, etc". Things seemed to have brightened as an email came from him later in the week, but lack of anything in it except the run number and the date was not reassuring. The (probably incorrect) surmise was that Krishna was trying very hard to organise a non-event.
