sparrows, so many sparrows

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.08.30

I've noticed this summer that there seem to be a hell of a lot of sparrows around. I don't know if it's due to weather conditions being good, or if West Nile is playing a part, but every little patch of grass in the city seems to be teeming with the buggers.

I mention West Nile because the sparrows are apparently carriers, unlike the other bird species which are all dropping like flies. I have to stop writing journal entries about flies.

I have a third date with the blackout girl coming up tonight.

A lot of people lose the spirit of childhood. Every child has a lot of imagination and you lose it little by little. I don't know why, but I kept it.
