fifteen kids, one car

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.09.04

A car alarm sounded across the street this evening, something I haven't heard in the 21/2 years we've been here. Glancing over at the sudden sound of giggling and laughter, I saw about 12-15 kids come pouring out of the car in sequence. It was fun; just when you thought, wha, that's a lot of kids, another couple squeezed out.

In less interesting news, I've written my last practice test and the cold that I thought was coming on seems to have aborted (possibly due to large quantities of vitamin C tablets and zinc lozenges). I'm going to write the final exam tomorrow for the certification I've been working on for a year.

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.
