farewell, woolen blanket

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2002.10.12

After our adventures in the Kawarthas, we dropped by my ex's place so I could pick up a few things that had wound up in her possession after the dissolution of our engagement. I wound up collecting my art, some odds and ends like my blender and my coffee maker, and more clothing than I would have guessed. There were also the old lamps that my grandmother had had made in Florida in the 50's, and a few bottle of booze that seemed to have survived the Bobcaygeon Winter intact. Still missing are a number of books, the Porsche mug my brother gave me when I was 15, and various other clutter. Like my woolen blanket, dangit.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
