my grandmother's tombstone

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

St. Catharines, 2003.04.20

I went with my mother to St. Kitts for Easter with the Masterson clan. We visited my grandmother's tombstone in a cemetery there. It was my first visit, though I lived about a kilometer away for two years. It was good to see. I hope to have my grandfather's name added to the stone.

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.
