the Beaches was crazy today

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.05.21

We tried—and failed—to get together with some friends in Toronto's car-choked Beaches area today.

The problem was parking. On a sunny Springtime holiday at the cusp of Summer, everyone without a cottage to run to was in the neighbourhood. With their cars.

It's like they say: Toronto's got a great transit city for 1 million people; but it's got 5.8 million residents.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

—Siddhārtha Gautama (The Buddha)
