No Signature (1995)
“The old man had made a thermos of coffee before I got up, and our first stop was a Tim Horton’s near Hamilton Place, where we visited the washroom and picked up a couple of doughnuts.
The van grumbled through its broken muffler as the old man drove through the noisy streets and into the early morning crush on the Queen Elizabeth Way. He was dressed for travel—T-shirt, jeans, moccasins—and he hadn’t shaved. Neither had I, for that matter. Parking lots are short on amenities.
Once we were headed ...north on the 400 the traffic thinned out. We cruised past Barrie and, at Waubaushene, picked up Highway 69, a two-lane that snakes its way north through rock cuts, forests and swamps. It was a sunny morning and the scenery in cottage country was sort of comforting—the blue of the lakes, the fresh greens of the leaves, the lighter blue of the cloudless sky. I began to relax a little.
And I have to admit it, the old man was an okay driver. My mother drives like there’s a high-tension wire connecting her to the battery.MoreLess
