a day off .. to study

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2013.08.06

We've got friends in town and I took the day off so that Mari, the kids, and I could get together with them. We went to the ROM and managed not to lose any children.

I also managed to squeeze in some three hours of study time in the morning. Finding time to do all of this is like being back in University. Except older, slower, and not having any peers. And needing to take time away from the office for such things. And having to go to the library because your home is full of screaming little children. In short - nothing like University.

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
