george's trains

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2003.12.24

I got the mirror frame back today and ran over to "George's Trains" to get some paint and small model-style brushes.

I managed to rescue the bits that had blue paint scratched into them — I think it looks pretty good.

Amazingly, someone called today about the apartment. They want to see it on Saturday.

For Xmas eve - the time that my dad's family traditionally gathered — my girlfriend and I met with my mum and my aunt Laurie and went for Xmas sushi. Yes, sushi.

We went to "Sushi Supreme" on Yonge St. just north of Davisville. It was excellent as always.

After the sushi, my girlfriend and I went back to my mum's place for some wine and chatter. My girlfriend wound up zonking at around midnight.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
