The High Road (2010)
“Lindsay, Cumberland Crier in hand, ran into the room and vaulted back into the double bed like a gymnast off a minitramp, plowing her elbow into my stomach as she came down beside me.
“Oooooff!” was my articulate response as the air left my lungs in a hurry.
“Sorry, sorry, sorry. I thought I was clear of you,” Lindsay said as she rolled and propped herself up on the guilty elbow. “I’m not as coordinated in the air when it’s so frickin’ cold. We really need at least a queen if I’m going to land ...those safely.”
When you’re unable to breathe, you’re unable to speak. So I just nodded. Lindsay spread out the Crier.
“Uh-oh. André has done it again,” she warned.
I turned to scan the front page. Oh good, two photos of Angus. The first covered nearly the whole front page, above the fold. André sure had a knack with a Nikon. There, in full colour, was Baddeck 1 dragging Angus behind as he looked right at the camera and waved. The caption: the very predictable “What a drag!”MoreLess
