it was thirty years ago this month

twenty-eight years and a 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.

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.
