100 pennies, no problem

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2013.02.09

Ken had an assignment this weekend that was timed to mark the demise of the Canadian penny: that was, to bring in 100 pennies for a charity. I was not surprised that in our home, "the jar" had more than $6 worth in it. And we've only been accumulating low-worth coins in Canada for two years!

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
