a house on fire

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.07.23

Tonight in the wee hours, we were woken by the sirens of fire engines; a house across the street was aflame. It wasn't until much later that we learned all was well, but once again I was amazed at just how on top of things the fire department really is; they were here before the fire had gotten very far, and from the looks of the torched van and ruined garage, things could have been much worse.

We're all well.

A creative person would prefer their music to be stolen and enjoyed than ignored. This is the dilemma for every creative soul: he or she would prefer to starve and be heard than to eat well and be ignored.

—Pete Townshend
