why did it have to be a summer cold

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.06.19

Sinuses throbbing, nagging cough, and sore throat. In late June. I was in a swimming pool for an hour or two on the weekend. Now I'm struggling with a sinus and chest cold like it's back in winter. Wait, could there be a causal relationship there?

And here I was about to dive into the ISO standards on risk management (ISO 31000) and IT governance (ISO 38500). For work, that is, not for entertainment. Now I'm just sitting around dully looking about the office.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
