dreary reason to fly

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Vancouver, 2001.05.31

We've all got our tickets to go to Toronto for the funeral. I hope the death certificate turns up, so I don't have to pay to make the booking change (again).

I booked Ken and Heidi's tickets through Air Canada's pathetic e*commerce site. My commentary, after it had foiled me for the third time (and required my third call to their tech support people) was: 'Fnck fnck fnck, fnck, that's bad'. Those guys have no inkling of how to do business online.

I consoled myself by ordering Ken a special meal. I selected the 'Dull/ulcer' category.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
