it was thirty years ago this month

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2019.09.18

I've just realized that it was thirty years ago this month that I returned to Ontario to start my university studies. The school: Brock. The motto: If you can walk and talk, you can get into Brock.

There's something about the weather in the period in late-August to mid-September. Still fairly warm and humid but noticeably past the worst of the summer's heat and humidity. I haven't lived here for the entirety of the past thirty years, but this time always takes me back.

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.

—Lenny Bruce
