Toronto, 2010.11.26

Gloomy, this morning. A low cloud cover and a strong wind from the north-west. No surprise that it started to snow.

I couldn't contact my family again this morning, no word of explanation from Japan. I did a bit of accounting work for our soon-to-be-defunct business and noticed that I had to bolt out the door. Somehow I left without either the key for the house in Oakville or the key for the door at the office. The three hours I'm spending in commute every day are starting to wear, I think.

Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in. But a man of value will give more than he receives.

—Albert Einstein
