the Boy's big opportunity

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2019.07.02

Our son plays tennis, and his club has just asked him to join a new youth program that will see him get a lot of exposure this summer. He'll have more access to the courts, but he'll also effectively have a volunteer job helping the club with their tournaments and all the other stuff that the adult members do. This first engagement will last all summer.

A lot of people lose the spirit of childhood. Every child has a lot of imagination and you lose it little by little. I don't know why, but I kept it.

—Jean-Pierre Jeunet
