stux weekender saturday february 7 1998 p 17 trip to ottawa rehewed my respect for soldiers having succeeded in offending my mother in law my best friends daughter as well as all the prigs and

dominate the lives of those trying to bet ter themselves through higher learning after all theres nothing like a skate along the rideau canal with your beloved on a saturday night and a care package deposited in your empty freez er to pick up the spirits of a bookbound student but while the weekend was designed for the benefit of shane it turned out to be a most rewarding outing for the old man as well no he and i didnt sit up all night bonding in a way we had never done before are you kidding the only thing i have in common with this deep thinking philosophy major with the penchant for

canadian soldier saying how he must go off and fight so that his mother on the prairies will never have to walk down a street surrounded by burn ing buildings looking at the books listing the names of the dead i couldnt help but think of the young boys who had never been off the farm or out of their small canadian towns suddenly shipped off to take part in a most gruesome experience overseas in the
