back to the Smoke

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2002.08.31

Back in T/O. And it's hot, hazy, and smoggy. Who'd have guessed. No matter, I hear there are jobs here. Actually, I hear the situation's the worst it's been in 20+ years, but that it's still better than in Vancouver. One unexpected beneficial side-effect of my time in Australia; I can now do a 5 hour flight in relative comfort. Once you've crossed the Pacific a few times, any intra-continental flight seems like fun. Well, not fun per se, but immensely more tolerable.

There's nothing more difficult to handle, more doubtful of success and more dangerous to carry through than initiating change.
