When you 'travel close to
10,000 --mites and- -meet about
500 total strangers in five days,
not only the body but also the
mind begins to get a• bit scram-
bled.
I'm three days home from' a
crash 'trip to Germany: My,
body feels like An old rubber
boot. My mind is like an Irish
stew with very little meat in it.
I'm not sure what day of the
week it, i,s, what -time of day i,t
is, or what my first name is.
Among us members of the• jet
set, this condition is known as
"jet lag". In plain terms, it is
total exhaustion.
Normally, I find it fairly.
traumatic .,just to change from
.__Standard to Daylight Saving
time. It invariably' throws me
out of gear for a couple of days.
But when you go through a
. time change of six hours, and
• then do it backwards within a
few days, the. human system
can barely cope.
I ;feel as though my soul, or
Some other 'piece of essential
equipment; is•still back in Ger-
many, or at least in mid. -
Atlantic, trying desperately, to
catch up with the bag of bones
which" is its usual habitat.
Just to complete the weird
feeling of alienation., the
weather lent a hand. Left.
Canada in a .howling blizzard.
Temperature in the Black.
Forest district in, the sixties,

All in all, I'm' 'slightly
unhinged .bv, the experience, so
bear.with me white I try to sort
rtut some impressinns of my
faun!,
Was it really I who was;,,;

fear days ago at t35 m.p.h., and
shuddering as • 'those crazy
Siegfrieds went by us'like.a bat
out of hell, doing at least 120?
`There is no speed limit on the
autobahns. A Psuggested" lirhit
of 41 is,the only guideline and
• nobodv'pays any attention to it.
Was i•t. really I who climbed
•into bed nri'tr}t a federbette at
4:30 in the afternoon .and slept
until five in the morning?
Don't raise your eyebrows, gen-
tle reader. A federbette is. not
what you think. It's a" huge
down comforter, about 10 in-
ches thick. As light as an elec-
tric • b'tariket and as warm . as
four ordinary blankets.
• Was it really I who sat over
-lunch with a. gaggle of generals
discussing' how many tanks the:
Russians have -and what ."we".
would dor' if they started

Was it really., who sat in' a
"space .ship" with four little
Canadian kids, all of us
wearing `space helmets", and
joined them in thecount-down?
Was it really I flying above

with two Dieppe veterans, one
of them, -Albert Brown -of Sar-

Prisoners -of -War Association?
-Was it •really I standing, at a
