genius of love

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2004.11.08

I don't know who this guy was, but he could sure play some fine blues on the harmonica, which he had hooked up to an amp. I mean, he could really play.

I was up in the Yonge/Eglinton neighbourhood and points north to look at apartments for Tulip and Sailor Yoon. The ones I saw were passable but not ones I could recommend. Along the way I picked up a neighbourhood paper of the free variety that in the Simpsons has headlines like It's War!. It said that the street behind this fellow is the site of the Upper Canada rebellion (which was essentially a bar brawl that spilled out onto the street with a rifle or two in hand).

rand()m quote

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.

—Antoine de Saint-Exupery
