new landlord

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2007.09.09

In anticipation of the baby's arrival, we've been looking for a larger apartment. We think we've found something, and today we met with the landlord for a "meet and greet".

Mari was her usual engaging self, and things went well. It turns out that the landlord has family in Victoria, BC, and that despite his age (88 years) he's an avid photographer. He showed us some of his work.
