a day off .. to study

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one 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.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
