Jon is gone

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2005.05.08

Jon left this morning at 5:30 to return to Tokyo. It was a fine visit, and I'm glad that I wasn't tied up with work, as I would have been if one of the other job leads had worked out, last month.

It's interesting to catch up with a close friend after some years apart, because you re-learn your friendship, to an extent. In this case, it will likely be many moons before I see Jon again, as he has little intention of returning to Toronto (his visit having caused him to re-learn why he left four years ago).

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.
