an old speech

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2010.03.13

I was doing some maintenance on my website today and came across the text of the first funeral speech I ever gave.

It's for my grandfather and is now just turned eleven years old. Looking back, I think it holds up pretty well. A nasty job, writing a funeral speech.
