my generation is marrying off
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-seven years and one million words
The Cottage, 2001.06.19
Yvonne managed to depress me with the news that two of my cousins – two daughters of my mom's cousin Neil, both of whom are younger than me – were married last year. (One of them to an NHL player whose name I certainly recognized). In any event, out of the entire generation on my mom's side, I'm one of only two who hasn't married, and I'm the older (by a year). Actually, I'm the third eldest out of that group of eight.
I have done precisely zero work on the novel since I arrived. At least I seem to be over the cold.
