the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2016.10.20

I don't get a lot of feedback on this journal/website project of mine any more. The thousands of daily visits fell to hundreds and now it's even fewer. But a colleague told me he liked the recent write-up about trout and bruised ribs, so that was hopeful.

Three good things that happened today:

  1. While a door to a particular future has closed, another may have opened. It's a good trade.
  2. The wind was at my back cycling to work, today.
  3. Spent a day doing my thing with some auditors, and realized how far I've come in this strange specialty.
Three reasons to be thankful:

  1. I'm decidedly doing better with the migraines of late. Fewer in number, less severe, and of less duration. Woohoo!
  2. I might get in a bit of fishing on Saturday.
  3. Looks like we're going to the zoo with some friends on Sunday.

When I was a teenager I was sure I'd be dead before I was thirty. Let's just say that I am well into some serious gravy time now but sometimes I wonder if I am actually dead and this is hell.
