riding with a stool sample

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.08.01

Emma still has some lingering effects from her illness, so I found myself riding through the city with a baby's stool sample to deliver. Needless to say, there was some complication with the sort of jar the hospital had given us, and I was told to do it all again.

It started to rain on me on the way back.

Ah, but 'tis to laugh.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
