Congratti- lations to Debbie Rathvvell, named top female'athlete of the year, and to Les :Williams, as Grey's top male athlete. June 24 was a busy day at Grey. First, thirty-five young students were fortnally graduated from Mil,• Dit 6's kindergarten. ,.„ OPP lay 30. charges ve a meeliq were gi gs. 0.0 he nieri Rebekah York Loch nls g ive41,1 i ts 1 ge 51 the tited of the meluded son, 1(1 more joki Ntil Bruss6 As we all know, especially those who have ever engaged' in sports, there's a very thin line between being a hero and being a bum. One day you're at bat, three runs behind, three runners on base, the count three and. two, and you smash a home run. Two days later, f,,in exactly the same situation, you strike out. Same man, exactly. First time, you are cheered to the echo. Second time you are booed out of the park. I'd like to report that most• of the time, my wife thinks I'm a hero. But this column has always been noted for a • dedication to veracity. Most of the time she thinks I'm a bum. Not just an ordinary bum. I quote: "Bill Smiley, you are a lazy, procrastinating bum!" Don't think I just sit there and take it. Oh, no. I point out with some gusto that she's never held a steady job 'in her life, except as a mother and housewife, that no guy who teaches all day and runs an English department with 10 teachers in it, and writes a weekly column, can be called lazy. But it seems were not talking about the same lazy. She's talking about evading, short of anything worse than a threat of death, cleaning up the basement rather than playing golf. I'm talking about the higher things in life. As far as the "procrastinating" goes, I'll admit, honestly and openly, that I procrastinate. But only in a limited way. I am not an across-the-board procrastinator. I'll confess that, from time to time, on certain occasions, I have been known, all things considered,by some • suspicious peOple, who . are themselves too aggressive, to procrastinate. But the third term in that p ejorative remark, "bum, will.not accept,' not even from the Old 13attleaxe. A bum is,one of two things: a rear end; a person who refuses to work. I am not the former, though I haye a few enemies who would question it. 'I am not the tat, ter. If have worked since I was a stripling. But I started work cleaning out lavatories, and I don't intend to finish work cleaning up the basement. All this is merely preamble to the happy note of this column. Last weekend, for alniost 72 hours, with only a couple of relapses, my wife thought I was a hero, n of a bum.. It was time for one, of our semi-annual safaris to the city. These are usually pretty ghastly. I talk vaguely about going .to a good hotel, seeing 'a couple of, top shows, and eating a gourmet dinner or two in posh restaurants. She thinks it's all set. Comes the weekend. I've forgotten all about it.The trunk of the car has sprung from backing into a telephone pole. No hotel reservation. You couldn't 'get a ticket to that special show if your initials were P:E.T. And we have to stand in line for an hour for that gourmet grub, which is one step better than the local greasy spoon, and eight times as costly. Relations are strained. We go back to our second-rate hotel, burping garlic whiCh has covered a multitude of culinary sins, and sulkily watch a TV show that we saw, as, a re-run, last November. But this time. Ah, this time. It was like a honeymoon. A week before, driven by who knows what buried guilt, I sneaked to the telephone one evening, and laid everything on. Best hotel in the city. Room overlooking the lake. Tickets for two shows. Dinner reservations. Next day I got the car washed and gassed. Sneaked away early from work. - The Old Girl couldn't believe it. - Everything worked." They hadn't screwed up our reservations for once. Traffic was murderous, but only one bus driver really went out of his way to get us. The shows were. terrific. Dinners were excellent, no waiting. - And the weather was splendid. I think His Awesomeness had finally decided to let poor old Bill Smiley be something other than a bum, at least for 72 hours. 'As I sat on the 26th floor, looking over the lake, while my wife was shopping next morning, and wondered what the poor people were doing today l, I couldn't help thinking that God was in His heaven, for once, and all- was right with the world. But wait. It didn't end there. Going out of the city, we dropped in to see our grandsons,' with appropriate gifts. They wanted to leave their parents and come home with Gran-Dat and Gran. How abmit that? And one final frosting on the cake. We got home. Lo. And Be Hold. The storm windows had been taken off, and the windows polished.The lawn had been cut, and the place looked great. (I'd forgotten to tell the storm window man and the boy who cuts the lawn that we'd be away.) I didn't let on., Just said: "Well, I see the varlets have been at work, as instructed." You won't believe this, but the old lady actually said, "You know, sometimes, Bill Smiley;' you're not a lazy, procrastinating bum." How's that for an accolade?
