In song, man talks about 2,000 horse power, 3 transmissions and a computerized gear shift to manage it all. It’s funny and bouncy and probably a secret dream of every trucker.

A down to earth singer and songwriter, Cyril May and his musical cohort Jack McDonald make having a supertruck like described in this song sound like a really nifty idea.

"Holocaust Harry’s Hotpipe" is only one of great songs on Cyril May and Jack McDonald’s CD "Off The Beaten Track". Listen to samples of their tunes on web site: www.cyrilmay.com.

One more to go. Fatherhood, especially work-at-home fatherhood, has taught me how a soon-to-be Olympic gold medalist feels when he sees finish line. Winding up for a kick that would outdo Bruce Lee, (Note: younger readers, please insert Jet Li here) Nicholas lets fly with pinpoint accuracy and... stops. Halfway into boot.

"Daaaaddd!! There's sump'n in there!" he exclaimed. Now little head is where little foot had been and he reaches inside, saying "Sump'n in there..." Then, in a scene most Hollywood writers would rack their brains for years to envision, he slowly pulls out a dead bird. Not toy bird or even stuffed bird. A real live dead bird, no doubt a loving present from cat.

He stares at it a moment with a mix of curiosity and awe. His father, in meantime, freaks out. "DROP THAT!" The carcass falls into my waiting but not wanting hand and I run to give it quickest, if not most dignified burial in trash can. Some crazed hand-washing on my part while Nicholas stands dumbstruck at sink, still unsure of what really happened while I smother his hands with liquid soap. A jacket and off he goes.

The moral of this story? Weary old snow boots make way for dead birds.

Ah, spring!
