GeorgetownActon Wednesday Sept S C7 Summer rushed past at a gold medal pace A plenitude of and politicians lopped of I by a surfeit of visitors and Olympics with a beat and lingering case of rammer flu have made this summer rush past at a gold medal pace ir all began in June when the presents started pouring In as my retirement was officially observed I was taken to lunch by two of my favorite students then to a reception for myself and a colleague Rintoul who at CO Is so fit he could make a 32yearold Swede appear on the verge of senility Each of us received presents from the student council individual gifts from former students silver dollar from the towns mayor commemorating the Popes visit and a rather smarmy plaque signed Sill Davis along with a lot of good wishes from parents and friends and a handsome encomium from our principal Very nice and we departed laden with gifts for a great steak dinner at place The following Friday last day of school there was a big party lunch eon with a hilarious teaching and office staff present teachers ore even more hysterical than students on the last day and the bar had been doing a roaring business Again the gifts and good wishes poured in My loot included a golf bag a very handsome credit at the golf dub a pair of bookends and most thoughtful a com mission for an excellent young photo grapher to take a picture of my Well havent bad a game of golf yet and the picture is to be taken tomorrow but it was a fine party with everyone extremely witty and many warm wishes front longtime colleagues As well as gifts Ive been invited to visit the cottages of half a dozen friends and out numerous times It a good to have people who dont forget youre alive even when theyre absorbed in their own affairs and holidays I have a feeling Canadians have been stunned by a plethora of politics in the lost year or so First a Tory leadership campaign with the rather pathetic figure of a Prime Minister Joe Clark standing in the wings bravely trying to smile pushed off centre stage by the smoothtalking smoothrunning Soy from Bale Comeau who will one day get the same knives In the back Then we were inundated by politics as the Democrats frontrunner Walter Mondale was seriously challenged for a while by a maverick senator and a black preacher and later the rather daring might pay off which is all that counts in politics into the ring dear friends as the liberals began the circus of choosing a new leader The Golden Boy won It as expected so we now have a Prime Minister who held no office in parliament and has shown a tendency to fumble the ball since he walked out of the Liberal citadel some years ago to get rich And of course the national disgust at the final gesture of Trudeau who once again thumbed his nose at us but this time in the grand tradition herding the pigs winners and losers alike to that big fat trough of political patronage Turner will rue the day he signed the letter agreeing to an those plummy appointments He didnt have to though he says he did As the partys chosen leader he could have said Stuff you Pierre and emerged with clean hands and a belief in his Integrity This is Just sour grapes of course Im pretty sore because he ditto t appoint me to the Senate Then before we could catch our breath the Golden Boy badly advised in my opinion plunged us into an election campaign If there is one thing Canadians dont need in summer Its that We have two months of the year In which we can truly enjoy the summer and there is a great apathy among the electorate despite the attempts of the media serfs to create a little excitement There is much more pleasure in going for a swim much more excitement In watching the Olympics than In listening to the already thricereiterated pablum of the politicians They oil promise the same things in different terms which erodes the interest of all but the party hacks and thededicatedfanaticsofeachparty Right now I couldnt care if the Party won the election They couldnt do worse about inflation unemployment housing you name it Enough It turns the stomach How about visitors Well my son escapes the city at least every second weekend and appears sometimes with a friend He professes a simple abstemious diet and eats like an undernourished wolf while trying to forcefeed me on things I dont like Hes keeping an eye on Dad so that Dad enough Then came the boys who would stay here while their mother was on a trip to Israel for two weeks Were well Into our fourth week now and Kim has been bore for two Oh well What the Theyre sup posed to be going home this week and I wont have to play football with a bum foot or take them out to gourmet dinners of cheeseburgers and chips and I won see them again until Christmas if then 111 miss breaking
