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.

It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give up because by that time I was too famous
