day in a daze

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.09.19

Being in the emergency ward until 02:30 with a small child that's just had a brush with death leaves you a mess the next day.

I spent the day doing errands (like buying a new humidifier for the kids' bedroom), helping Mari with the kids, and trying to catch up on some work from home.

Awful, awful night.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.

—Col. Eric G. Kail
