"all gone da yo"

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2009.11.08

[edit: 2021.08.03. We moved to Canada a year later. That did the trick.]

A man marries to have a home, but also because he doesn't want to be bothered with sex and all that sort of thing.

—Somerset Maugham
