16,000 days

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.11.13

I've lived 16,000 days. I had dropped by a website that tells you the count of days between two dates. It was handy, and it occurred to me to measure my age in date. 16,000 days, 2,900+ of which I've been married and ~2,500 of which I've been a father.

Three reasons to be thankful:

  1. Happy wife (the stories one hears about what happens with an unhappy spouse!!)

  2. The new D&D game I bought, Dungeon World, looks really interesting.

  3. It's snowing early this year, but my bike is rugged and I don't care.

In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, delve deep into the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In work, be competent. In action, be careful of your timing.

—Lao Tsu
