Valentine's Day is for .. olives

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2013.02.14

Ken spotted a small candy jar full of the chocolate covered almonds I'd brought home for Mari. I told him they were olives. He held one to his nose and gave it a good sniff and looked at my suspiciously but believed it. We've been enjoying our "olives" and tee-heeing.

I'm not sure this is great parenting?

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.
