An epitome of excellence Despite the lousy weather his was a treat September for Canadian males That is If you happened to be a rocking- chair jock a Monday morning quarter back or an armchair analyst of sports Everything come together to the dis may of the ladies who happen to like game shows soap operas or good old fashioned movies that make you laugh and cry to the point where you dont know which you are doing with the tears running down It was the epitome of excellence for us aid athletes who make the bigtime and the big money because we skated on our ankles couldnt throw a wobbly pass twenty feet and whiffed at the plate with the count three and two and the winning run on third base heading for the Grey Cup World Series in the offing Canada Cup in hockey with many a muttered curse about cheap penalties against the Russians And sandwiched in between some great tennis golf Grand Prix races with guys doing cartwheels In their dinky toy cars American football which 1 abhor because And then of course Pope watching After watching the Pope in action its going to be difficult to get up for the Queens visit The general result of all these sports activities for the chap with his gut hanging over his belt but fire within it is a plethora of uncut lawns also undone chores unattended business and unshaved whiskers Wives became hewers of hamburg and drawers of beer in the good old Canadian tradition Never mind that your favorite team lost practically everything You still felt jour heart thumping almost dangerously when the Canadian team was lied by the Americans swamped by the Swedes and ruined by the They were still our boys and still believe in miracles which is not a bad thing for a nation In our favor we ignored the facts that the Blue Jays couldnt have caught the Yankees with a lasso and a couple of highlybred quarter horses that our hockey team with no less than twelve GreyCuppers on it would be lucky to tie Italy that the local Peewce team lost 1M in their final game we were right there with them cheering every booboo waxing wild with every hit pass or goal One thing you must say about Canadians Were good losers Weve learned to be I remember talking to a charming chap from Montreal about eight years ago on a trip to Europe How come I asked that Montreal has a good football team Altouettes a good baseball team Expos and a great hockey team Les Canadiens in their glory days and Toronto has the worst football team Argos worst baseball team Hue Jays and almost worst hockey team Maple Leafs He assured me that It was only a matter of time He was right Thanks to massive injections of Americans the Blue Jays and Argos arc respectable the Maple Leafs still fourthrate Thats enough about sports Im sure my lady readers are bored silly They are much more interested in the real things of life who had a baby who died and why and how when is that going to get out of that chair and stop watching that box what I give him thats portable for upper But then thank goodness came along Popewatching This is almost as good as watching the Queen and a lot more im portant to many people than watching the Queen Also a lot more important to many people than watching football or whatever I could have been in the front row if Id wanted to exaggerate my arthritic foot get some crutches don some dark glasses and hire a seeing eyedog But I thought that would be a bit much I could have gone to the big mass by driving four miles from town and taken a shuttle bus and arrived the night before IT I wanted room I though that too would be a bit much Especially because It promised rain I can go there any day in the rain Heck with it 111 watch it on TV provided there isnt an especially game on TV which there wont be because the Papal Visit seemed to have cornered the market on the tube And no wonder He Is a man of terrific presence with a great sense of the dramatic as befits a onetime actor a dedication that allows for no questions and a feeling for the poor and under privileged hat makes one for a few moments at least feel like a fat over- privileged slob least the sports and the Pope crowded politics off the front pages A matter of deep almost religious thanks Only thing I fault he Pooe for is that he didnl offer a special prayer for Team Canada against the atheistic Russians That would have been a nice gesture and hed probably have doubled his Cansdian fold GEORGETOWN 877 ACTON You may now charge your classified edvertlsement to your Chsrgex Account Ask for details LINCOLN rHnlx MERCURY Wednesday Oct 17 1384 SALES SERVICE- LEASING
