Best. Tree. Ever

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.12.06

We skipped the expensive trees we've been getting in the Beaches, and got our best tree to date at a grocery store. It's perfect - with enough space between the branches for the baubles, a subtle but pleasant smell, and no mess - I doubt it's dropped twenty nettles in the past three days and you can touch it without getting sappy. And it was half the price of the "Kew" outfit we've been going to for the past six years.

rand()m quote

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

—Frank Wilhoit
