welcome, summer of '17

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.06.21

Ye gods, summer is finally here – albeit with a high of only 21C today. I celebrated by getting incredibly sweaty barrelling down the ravine at Mud Creek (also; muddy). A few thousand people celebrated by turning out at the beach. One young lady on Queen Street in the Beaches celebrated by walking the strip in body paint instead of a shirt. To each, his own.

Three reasons to be thankful:

  1. Summer is here.
  2. It's cool enough to enjoy cycling.
  3. The cool weather is keeping the insects in check, so far.

Though defensive violence will always be a sad necessity in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.
