it certainly was a coincidence
that the Ex was on, and• that it
was 'lucky that we had' a week,
in •which to move -to the, : new

It all seemed sort of preordain=

It was the'usual erf: rm a nc
s. p. o a e,
my :Wife throwingout valuables,
and the kids and I lugging. them
back in, "hundreds • of• ',vartons
jammed. : with. everything from
toilet, paper to,:toe rubbers, and
nobody `knowing what' .was in
which. Furniture that had :•gone.
in' easily through door ways; now
resolutely; 'refused to come out
through ,them:
And fust to add• a little;.`spice
to this move, a mother cat rub-
:bing..our • legs. for•• food when ;we
were carrying refrigerators,' three
kittens climbing'. out. of their box
and heading in. three directions
and '.a crazy pup: dashing. wildly
between the .legs of the movers
as they gingerly toted the, hi-fi.
. The only, thing ,that preserved
.my• sanity was 'the, fortuitous re'•
'currerice'of an..old ailment in the
general area. of •iny back. This
prevented, me .'fro`rn, lifting 'any-
thing, hea,vier.,than .a cush'ion;, but.
dicLnot interfere with• mynatural
ability : to give cool, .clear. direc-:
.t'ions. 'It also 'p'roved something"
suspected:' for: a long' times
:that theOld Girl is a' lot stronger
than 'she looks.
As a fitting: climax to the moa
ing., ;it started to rain just .;as' we
were going 1 to move . the ' piano
and the mover had an open :truck.
My,, it weir exciting!'' You 'should
have seen them. •put'. their'"ibacks,
•into. it—the twei moving men and,
the two neighbours I had` recruit-
ed. The:r.e wasa great. flurry of
tarpaulins. grunting. ' and bad
language, but they moved that
piano in jig time, I' •clan tell" you;
It, was all I could do to ,stoy out
of their way as I': showed'' them
where to put it. ,
Ah,' .well, we got settled in,, af-
ter a fashion — the four:cats; the
dog: 'and the •four of, us. There's
a:'buffet ',and., a china cabinet out.
in the garage, and I think •a" whole
suitcase` full of rily socks and un
derwear „wtinnt off to ;the dump,
but that's all in the „game. '
I'm really not bitter 'about it
and already I'm making plans for
my 'week's holiday, next year. But
I had to assert' some will power
to keep from punching. right in
• the nose some of 'rny students on
the first'day of school;; who greet-
ed tike with a cheery. "Itad 'a nice
holiday sir?"
