Elul of the blahs Cto$-.-Morrth -
Ah, there's nothing more exhilarating ,
than a good old-fashioned Canadian
winter!(Is this the, same goy who wrote a
glum,' lugubrious column last week about'
the phygical and financial horrors of just
such?).•
We just had three days of sun and no
' snow, and all those red-eyed, ,.,•••
drippy-nosed, hacking, Whiting,- snow-
shovelling Canadians of a week ago have'
• been transformed into • virile, vibrant,
smiling', sickenly-hearty exponents of the
fabulous Canadian ,Winter. ..: .
made my Stand• a day or two after last
week's column: I thOught to myself "Screw
this," or words to that effect. 'I'm gonna'
go-berserk. The Old Lady is, getting weird:
All my friends are either depressed or,
eerie. I'm'lenna make the great escape."
'So I did. A certain of young punks
7 to whom I am forced to refer-4'111y
colleagues, have been after me, slyly and
maliciously, for abouttvvo y ears, to attend
one of their poker evenings. They knew
perfectly, well that my wife vtouhic't let Me
go,,,e-ven. if I told' her it were group . of-7-
Sunday Schoolteachers,,, and We were.. only
going to play for matches. .
They got after me again last Thursday.
Maybe it was the weather, but something .
snapped. I 'said "Right: What time ?'"
'They started to snicker, and' poke 'each
other with their elbows.' This is known in
their circle as .humot. "Sure you won't
have any trouble making it? We sometimes
stay up as lateas midnight, you know,
Smiley. . How ya gonna get :through the •
next, day's work?" And so on. I treated
this juvenilia with the respect it deserved.
There was only one more hardle„, and.
you know what that was. But there was no
real problem, with her._ All I had to do was
get out andcheck all my insurance policies,
make sure the cars and the house were
properly signed. over-and promise not to
have a drink before dinner, in case 'I had
one at the poket den, and the Old Battleaxe
caved in. Oh, not completely. As I went, out
the door, she was yelling: "And 'don't
___Le.xpect the door, to_be unlocked when you__
get home, ' and if you're not here by
midnight I'll call the police."
But that was nothing. In the old days,
when she really lovPd me, and was really
jealous, she'd get physical: 'She'd -throw • '
her 'arms around my neck and her legs
around my waist, and I'd have a hell of a
time getting tfitiiiigTi the -door before l
could brush her off against a tree, or dump
her in a snowbank.
Anyway , the boys picked me up, and
off we went into the wild night..The last of
the blizzards was just easing off, but it was
blowing great curtains- of snow off the
mighty banks. I thought we were going a
couple' Of miles, in town. out out we
were heading' fof a chalet out in the hills,
