GeorgetownActon Oct When wifes away Smiey can In a war frontline troops who have been particularly hard pressed for some time by the enemy are occasionally given a spell of and R behind the Rest and Recreation It gives them a chance to get clean to sleep a decent sleep to eat some real food instead of something resembling dogfood out of a can and perhaps even get a few cold beers or watch an old movie Then supposedly rested they go back to the front the fear the filth the lousy grub and the physical effort and indignities involved Well Ive Just had 12 days of R and and it was great Now Im back In the by Bill Smiley My wife was away for 13 whole days which I devoted to Rest and Recreation My kind But mine was a little different from the typical R and of an army unit Nor mally while serving in the front lines of the domestic war Im clean I sleep de cently the grub Is excellent there Is no filth and the only problem Is the constant of the Top Sergeant my old lady During my and days I did the opposite to what soldiers do Let myself get dirty I didnt shave wore old shabby but comfortable clothes didnt make the bed once slept in my under wear I slept like a log but on my own terms from about until noon or a m until afternoon Or whenever I felt like it I ate well but in the same manner in which I eat on the front lines meat potatoes vegetables and dessert for dinner a simple breakfast of a boiled egg or a banana with toast peanut butter and tea And dont forget your vitamin pills Nope I had bacon and eggs for dinner I have ice cream and peaches for break fast I felt like it If I didnt I had apple and pears or maybe just a hunk of cheese and a glass of beer And chose my own hours None of this eight oclock breakfast Sometimes I had it at a sometimes at a None of this noonhour for lunch At three in the afternoon might settle down to a good book and big plate of headcheese a huge dollop of cottage cheese a dill pickle a rosy tomato right out of a friend garden cut Into chunks my wife likes them sliced and half a can of cold pork and beans A good pro tein diet Occasionally Id splurge on a frozen food meal but theyre generally pretty lousy and very expensive And another trouble is that I read the directions and forge them or get engrossed In a book or newspaper As a result they were over cooked and overflowing into the oven a cardinal sin or they were half raw and I threw them out And another difference from the soldiers is that I didnt watch any old movies I dont think the TV set was on more than twice during this golden period Thus I didnt have to quibble with anyone about what wed watch which I do on the home front I didnt watch and Im sure I missed What I did do was go to a couple of movies at the local cinema all by myself My wife just wont go to movies because she falls asleep after 10 minutes She suffers from insomnia and can sleep only in movies on boats trains buses or aircraft on none of which I can close my eyes One of the most restful parts of my R and period was sitting in the backyard feet up reading a good escape novel No guilt feeling nothing to do but bat away the odd wasp Another was reading the morning paper perhaps at three fa the afternoon without just sitting there with the thing on my knees listening to all the troubles about our children her father the up coming wedding her lack of sleep and my general shortcomings as a husband and fathe Another was forgetting about money I just piled all the bills on the counter In the kitchen and put them out of my mind She likes paying bills I abhor It Another the telephone If I felt life answering It I did If I didnt I didnt For me the telephone is one the great sores modern society Every time It rings somebody wants something It never rings to bring you good news I a few times found the caller had a wrong number and quit All Elysium A quiet trip to the library to pick up four more books a coffee in my favorite place a little shopping a quiet dinner of cucumbers ham tomatoes and a couple of hard- boiled eggs a quiet read until four In the morning Despite the fact that I washed four days dishes ran the vacuum over the floor and made the bed I was caught in the act I knew exactly when her bus was coining in I was to meet it Despite this and due to my sleeping habits Id had one hour the night before I had a fine dinner then fell deep Into the arms of Morpheus and missed the bus She was shall we say purple with rage Then she checked the garbage pall and found there were only two little bags In It It usually full This convinced tier that Id been too lazy to cook a meal and had been eating out all the time All hell broke loose Imagine being subjected to a tirade because you haven t filled the gar bage pall Next time shes away
