16,000 days

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a 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.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
