journal live once more

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2021.07.25

I've taken my journal live again. I've felt a little blah with it being offline. I realize that a lot of the wring, especially in the early years, was terrible. But I also think that it's turned into the one thing I've done with my life. I mean, it's been 24.5 years now, I suspect it must be one of the longest-running journals or blogs anywhere.

I've tried to pare out all the stuff that pertains to kids to avoid any kind of privacy issue or future embarrassment for them.

When I was a teenager I was sure I'd be dead before I was thirty. Let's just say that I am well into some serious gravy time now but sometimes I wonder if I am actually dead and this is hell.
