Sugar and Spice

'Sour. notes
Don't expett the usual collection of
, optimistic opinion, cheery chat, and happy
household hints normally found, in this
space. I'm feeling really mean this week.
It St. Francis of Assisi himself showed
up, I'd probably snarl, "Stop feeding those
bloody birds! All they'll do is dump all over
us.',
My normally sunny nature is soured by a
sore back. It started out as just a little pain,
like a breadknife going into my kidneys.
You know. The sort of thing that makes you
emit . a startled "aarf!" when you
straighten up after bashing your teeth and
spitting in the sink. Lots of guys have that.
It goes, with the territory.
Then my two grandboys came for the
weekend.They weigh about fifty pounds
between them. There's a certain amount of
jealousy: Nobody can play the same• tunes
on their fat necks that Grandad can, by
simultaneously sucking and blowing. As a
result, no sooner do 'I get one kid grinning
and giggling, and plunk him down, than
the other is standing there, arms extended.
As any grandfather knows (grannies are
smarter and threaten to wash their faces
'and the kids run), it is literally impossible
to ignor the upstretched arms of a tyke.
Consequently I reckon, roughly , that I
: lifted- -about ' a ton and a. "half of
grandbabbies off the floor over the
weekend. Another forty-odd times I leaned
far aver and separated them when mayhem
seemed imminent.
As any old codger with*_slipped. disc or
crumbling vertebrae can [ell you, this is
known as the poor way, one of the worst, of
curing a sore back. The other Door way, the
absolutely worst, I won't tell you, as this is
a family journal,
To top it all, I have a' week's vacation
coming up. I have a fairly grim certainty
that I'm going to be spending it, and a
couple after it,_ flat on my back.
Put ydu to bed. That's what doctors d o
when you go to them with a sore back. First
they poke you hard a few times in the sore
back and ask, "Does that hurt?" Of course
it does. Then they feel your belly, which is
not the greatest erotic experience in the
world. They tell you take a deep breath.
They tei you to cough. They seem fairly
sure you have a hernia. In the back?
"Can you move your legs?" they ask,
ignoring the fact that •you walked from
your ear into their outer waiting-room, and
from there into the torture chamber. "Does
it hurt to sit for long periods?" Damm
right. You've just sat in'the waiting-room
, for an` hour and a half after your
appointment time, and' almost fainted
when you stood up. _
Then, non-plesSed as usual, they take off
th-eirglasses and nod solemnly. "Yes, it
seems sore all right. we'd better get a
picture of that, Translation: I haven't a
clue, but maybe.it will go away by the time
you get ft X-rayed and the prints get back
to me. About 48 hours.
They give you some painkillers "in case
you have some pain". At this point tears as
big as tea-bags are spurting out of your
eyes from pain. You emit something
between a groan and g squeal of pure pain
as'you clamber down from that jeesly high
bed in' their office.
Pain? Migawd, my wife came up this
morning to see why I hadn't come down for
breakfast. I was lying on the bedrooth
floor, weeping. I'd just tried to put my
socks on.
Twice today, a police car pulled up as I
was trying to get out of my car. 'They'd
seen the door open-and one leg emerge.
Two minutes later another leg hove into
view. After three more minutes, a
crouched, swaying torso followed. They
thought I was plastered.' I was merely
trying to straighten up without screaming.
'All right? We know where -we stand?
Don't expect any sweetness and light in
this column,
New. Let's deal with that young rip,
Margaret Trudeau. My wife is on her side.
Newspaper columnists have beert generally
kindi asked a young person the other day
for an opinion on. Margaret's shenanigans,
and got the predictable answer, "Sheez
oney dooner own thing. Snuthin wrongth
that." _•
1-h-eartily disagree. There's such a thing
as responsibility, though the word makes
people cringe these days. If you can't stand
the heat, fine, get out of the kitchen. But
don't run into the public square and whine
that you're justlrying to find -yourself as- a
person. That's juvenile. have never been
a fan of her husband, but I admired his
domestic , loyalty on this undoubtedly
painful occasion.
Speaking of the Trudeau's, I'd toVe to
disinter a column I 'wrote ,a few months
back, when the Liberals Were on the ropes,
and the political vultures wereswarming to
pick the bones of the P.M. But that would
be saying "I told you so," one of the
nastiest sentences in the English language.
A prophet is indeed without honor in his
own country. Sometimes in his. own
kitchen.
Good for Harry Boyle, head of CRTC. He'
has made it clear that our national
broadcasting company, whatever its faults,
is not merely a tool for keeping the Liberal
'government , in office, contrary to the
opinions of some Cabinet ministers.
About sweetteeth. I've never heard such
absolute crap as the banning of saccharine
- because some mice got some cancer when
they were stuffed with the stuff. Far better,
I presume, to die of cigarettes or booie
than to expire from drinking two ,or three
hundred cans of saccharine-sweetened
drinks a day. I guess diabetics and fatties
don't swing much weight at the polls.
. 'There, I've vented some of niy venom,
and my back feels better already..•InStead
of feeling li ke Prometheus, with that
vultdre tearing out his liver, I merely hame
the more moderate pain of a dog excreting
razor blades.
