And as far as the statistics I questioned, it wasn't a malter of their accuracy, it was a ques- tion of their perception. I any event, if you're going lu attack some- body, even if it's in jest, you can expect them to respond in kind, and not in jest. I pretty much got what 1 shoold have expected and maybe what 1 deserved. But 1 don't want to play that game anymore. It's not much fun. And I can certainly see things such as myseit makes fun of hîm. Part of your job as a politician is that you leave yourself open to criticism, the same as a writer. At least we have it better than hockey referees, who are criticized even when peuple know they're right. 1 like criticism, when its fair, and sometimes even when it isn't. 1 used lu write a sports col- nmn several times a week in the Financial Post, when it was an entity on its own. Once I made fun of the figure skating exhibition they put on after the competition is over, suggesting that hockey players don't return to the ice after the game is fmnished and put on another show for the 01 ----ith URRA TO audience.

TeMlo n the District High School cheerleading squad thought J that when I said, "No cheerleading," I was tatk- tOose img about themn and took issue with me about it. Except tn that instance, most of the time if peu- Spie don't see Ihmngs the way I want them to, then 1 consider it my fault for not writing clearly. But, d that 1 was if they don't get the jokes, that's their fault. djectîve for Everybody's different, though, when it comes kind.

The world of nature is borsling with vigoor and beanly, and oor arduoos gar- denmng in previoos years is beginning to show some resolts. With the milder weather and longer days we begin lu enjoy life's many social blessings, and backyard gatherings become commun.
