long walk in the neighbourhood

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.10.21

We went for a long walk in the neighbourhood today. The weather was superb, and we'd been cooped up by lousy weather (and the general level of sickness among us) yesterday so I dreamed up the idea of looking about online to see what might be happening in our neighbourhood. I found the "Easternblock party", celebrating the cessation of construction on Queen street east, and something called "Soupstock". We also bought some excellent, nay stellar, fish at a market in a park. Yellow perch, if memory serves.

Hooray!

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a monday-to-friday sort of dying.
