end of summer in canada
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
And here we are, a late night, months later- crickets chirp, wolves howl, my mother's asthmatic poodle grunts and whimpers in its sleep while she does the same upstairs- a front porch and a bearded galoot in front of a laptop , reviewing his summer...
Well, the show pretty much blew up in my face, thanks to a glitch in the immigration procedure... and my father's bum ticker, which got a valve job in the spring.
Looking back, I know I was in over my head. I believe I would have toughed it out, but I had the excuse of the century, and spent the summer attending to my aging parents. I may never know all of what would have happened...but half the show is airing now, the other half soon to follow, and I'm completely divorced from it now...
Meanwhile back on the planet Earth, the brush wolves strike up a chorus, a chill wind howls from the West...all of nature braces for the shock of winter, while I throw my hook in the water and hope to snag another contract...
It 's been a good summer, and I'm happy to say my father has made a full recovery, and my mother copes day by day with her more consistent affliction...and I am drawn by the West wind to move on, get on with life as I know it... perhaps to LA, perhaps to Asia...but I cast a wary eye at Europe... that show kicked my ass.
