13 years in Toronto

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.04.21

Last month, I passed the sum of 13 years spent living in Toronto. The current stretch has been 6 1/2 years as of this month, meaning I've been here as long as the previous three times put together.

I suppose Toronto feels like home to my kids. My wife says it does to her, as well. I still miss Tokyo and while I know Tokyo is not as good a place as Toronto is for raise kids (on a few measures!) I still haven't had that "a-ha" moment with this city. I seem to stay because it's where I can (or could) find work. Is that enough?
