p 12 weekender saturday june 13 1998 st tdrohtos grieat from this side of 20minute buffer we took a deep breath gassed up the mini- van and went in among them last saturday our purpose for heading into the heart of toronto was twopart fust off with my motherinlaw about to be married in maryland and me without a summer suit we decided to check out a men haberdashery specializing in upscale preowned dress wear and having struck out so far in our attempt to replace the cushions pilfered form our wicker porch set last month our second task was to visit a yonge st store which car ries such items we arrived at the site of the clothing store in the yonge and eglinton area but immedi ately noted that parking spaces were at a pre mium after 15 minutes of circling however we finally got our big break when a car pulled away from a metered spot directly in front of the shop but upon backing into our space we became aware of a rather strange man standing on the sidewalk with a look on his face suggesting we were infringing upon his territory dressed in a loud pink shirt and wearing a straw hat that made one think of the late truman copote he continued to hover around the van after we walked away wary of his motives we wondered if he was per haps the neighbourhood informant who rat ted to the polics when meters expire we made a note to come back and feed the meter a couple of quarters should we overstay the 25 minutes we had purchased once inside the store we were shown an impressive array of discarded italian suits bearing names that suggested the original owners spent

at 475 was cer tainly a bargain we had budgeted an amount closer to the equivalent of a weeks noname groceries we finally settled on a domestic number from chez eaton buoyed by our success we skipped back to the van where we were relieved to see that our funny little meter watch man was nowhere in sight we drove down yonge until we got to the store we hoped would solve our cushion quandary but this time we had no choice but to break down and find a parking lot for the van our quest was in vain as we quick ly discovered that even with the 20 per cent off sale in effect wed still pay almost as much for the software from where i live bruce stapley as we had for the entire wicker set returning just minutes later for our van we suggested to the atten dant that this was probably the easi est three and a half bucks he had made all day he indignantly responded that we could have paid up to 1 0 for the same privilege else where susan replied that we were from the country where parking is always free he shot back that coun try folk are all rich because they sell chickens it was at this point we decided against querying the man as to which of torontos many fine post secondary institutions he had attend ed to earn his degree in parking lot services returning to don mills where susans dad lives we realized we still had a halfhour or so left until the time we had agreed to pick up the kids we stopped in for a quick lunch at a restaurant at the comer of york mills and bayview we realized we were still in the big smoke when we went to pay only to find our light lunch had set us back well over what we normally spent on those wonder ful take out dinners at our favourite stouffville restaurant we picked up the kids and returned home with our used suit concluding that
