MEASURING LIFE – Hal Pratt

When my retirement was approaching recently,

the question most asked was “How are you going to spend

your time?” Some people thought I would find myself bus-

ier than ever, others thought I would be bored to death.

Everyone said I needed a plan.

Four months later, the answer to the question is

becoming clearer each day. I spend my time measuring.

At first, I measured bookcases, chairs, beds and

chests. We moved from a large old farmhouse into a small

cottage. Just trying to see where things would fit made

measuring a full time job. I knew it was getting serious

when my tape measure snapped from being pulled out

and sucked in too many times.

Then came the moving van. We used a U-haul to

make the move. We packed it with stuff the way a squirrel

packs a tree hollow with nuts. Each item was measured

and angled till the whole thing fit together like pieces in a

jigsaw puzzle.

For years, our family has accused my wife and me

of living in a museum. Our walls are covered with photos

and prints and paintings, not to mention the feathers, ant-

lers, and found treasures. Now I needed to measure each

item before hanging, then measure where to put the nail

in the wall to get things somewhat straight, then measure

again because the straightness thing never quite works for

me.

A librarian for life, I’ve snuck a lot of books into this

little cottage. Now I happily measure size and topic to get

a place for each one on the limited shelves I have. How

many books on a single topic do I need? How many bird

identification books before they become redundant? How

many medieval history books? How many books on how

to write, when you know the answer is simply to do it?

For years, I have measured the temperature and

weather twice each day, recording the information in a

datebook for yearly comparison. My last frost in 2013

was May 27th. It was on May 19th in 2014. Now that I’m in

a different place, I need to start this measuring all over

again.

I live by a lake. I’m going to measure water tem-

perature as well as air temperature now. There are trees

all around. Maybe I should measure how many leaves I

rake in the fall? I can measure when the first bird of each

species appears each spring. I can measure how many

rocks are needed for a five foot stone wall.

The only thing I do not dare to measure is how long

this will go on before I drive my wife nuts. Some things are

better not measured.
