Si SEES SEN SE Ee with Johir Gast" + Sk . Well, walkathon, In that order. Separated by four hours. No sooner had | heaved the chesterfield in its appropriate living room corner, than it was up and at 'em. All eleven of them. Miles, that is. we moved in, and | walked in the It's not that moving in was so difficult. Instead, it's the decisions. It's the uncontrollablerage that wells to the surface as the 300 pound encyclopedia set and lazyboy ends up looking best in the place where you originally put it. Or the kid who watches you struggle up the stairs with a 16 cu. ft. refrigerator strapped to your back and asks you to zip up his jacket. The same fridge, by the way, that almost had the freezer door torn off. It wasn't my fault. Instead of tying the door down as my wife instructed, | went one step better. | wrapped it with a canvas sheet and a rope, and tied it to the trailer. But halfway between Peterborough and Port Perry, the canvas flew off, and the wind blast from a passing truck blew the door open. With my wife leaning on the horn in the truck behind the car and trailer, | watched, helplessly, as | pulled over. In the rearview mirror, the fridge door flapped back and forth, rapidly, in the wind. Approaching the car, my wife was like the ~ fridge. That seemed to have done it. Packing the truck after that was easy. It was a matter of piling things into the truck, and if some of the corners, legs or edges didn't fit, it was simply a matter of backing the truck flat against the side of the house. Works every time. My wife?? Well, she was angry anyway..... And if youre wondering where all the help was, never have so many been away for so long'and left so few behind to move so much. Actually there are ploblems we'd never even hear of. Like how to get a five-foot fridge through a four-foot door. We tried removing the handles, removing the doors, angling, tilting, dismant- ling, and praying. We even tried backing up six feet and taking a run at it. For the heavier stuff, we rented one of those U-Wreckit trucks. How much thé rail freight people pay them to work for the trucking business I'd like to know. The truck | had was O.K., after you got the hang of it. Shifting, for example, took a certain Aah And biceps, like the Jolly Green Pea. You drive along in second, and want to go to third, the procedure is as follows: With both feet braced agains the dash and your eyes on the road and two hands on the steering wheel, you grasp the concrete-embedded gear shift with your other two hands and yank like blazes. As the truck shifts into reverse, you duck, making sure the stove that has been thrown from the back of the truck doesn't smash through the wall of the cab and pin you under the dash. Like | said. It was 4 a.m. to bed, and 9 a.m. for the walkathon. Actually, | cheated. | opened my eyes first time around. Raglan. It's not easy to sleep when your feet are on fire. i Right then and there, | wanted to quit, but the young fellow would have none of it. He brought- me this far, and he wasn't about to give up now. Taking pictures for this week's spread on the walkathon took time, so the young fellow and | ended up at therear. That's when the competitive spirit took over. "Lookit, son," | said. "'It's not to, get in first, but to get in." No luck. After walking eight miles, the kid wanted to run. He wasn't prepared to.come in last. So for the last three miles -- between puffs -- | kept checking if he wanted to slow down. He didn't. "How 'bout a break?' | asked. Nope. Sure you're OK?" "Yup." He was hardly sweating, while | ran side saddle to avoid trampling my tongue. "You look rough, dad," he said, "Wanna take a breather?" "Yup," | said. But we finished...... Honest. A .
