farewell to outerwear

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2020.02.03

Today one of my preparations for my likely departure was taking my ancient leather jacket and two very old blazers to the Value Village. Where, I was surprised to learn, they have an unbelievable array of stuff being donated. It's so much that they have heaps of bags of donated stuff. Our case was no different: in addition to my three garments we had three bags of kids' stuff to donate as well.
