You'd think the Smileys could have one tiny grandchild with no more than the usual anxiety and expectancy. Not a change. They had to turn it into a three-ring circus. Just about the time the wee lad was due to arrive, I provided the first ring. I racked up my' car. Not seriously. Just enough so it couldn't be driven. It was during the holidays, and betv'een these and relentless Storms, day after day, the repairs took twice as long as they would have nor- mally. No transport. But we had to be there when his nibs arrived. It's a hundred miles away. Result was ightmare of taxis and buses. a n There's nothing more dismal than riding a bus in mid -winter. It's either a super -modern one, with the heat turned up so that . you are gasping for breath and sweating like a wrestler, or it's an old-timer, with no heat and a draft that would freeze the brains of a brass monkey coming in around the window. There's nothing more frustra- ting than waiting for a cab. It's no problem downtown in the city: You can flag one down on the street. But when you are in a remote suburb, you'd be better off with a dog team. We waited 55 minutes for a cab one night-, after five phone calls, on each of which I was assured "He's on the way," a pure and downright lie.

She. was more than a little startled, It was 'the voice of .her son-in-law, and it. seemed to be coming out of the walls. It was. He and my daughter, the pregnant kid, were stuck in' the adjoining elevator, between floors. They weren't stuck be- cause she was pregnant, but be- cause the elevator had ceased to descend. They'd been on their way .down. Well, how does that grab you, as melodrama? It's like, some- thing you'd see on one of those medical series on TV. If I'd been there, I'd have fainted dead away and been carted off. My wife is made of sterner stuff. She can get hyster- ical about a cat crapping on a carpet. But when it comes down to real trouble, she's right on. • And my brother-in-law is a great man in a crisis. He posted my wife where she could talk to the two kids trapped in the ele- vator. Then he a rounded up the troops security guards, super- intendents, and electrician. They tried everything. A half hour passed. Nothing. An hour. Nothing worked.. They called the elevator company.
