fishing with the boy

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Yokohama, 2022.03.21

Mari arranged a fishing trip for The Boy and me, as it's a holiday. We caught a couple dozen small fish, the local "aji" plus some young mackerel. The weather was perfect. We had a good time. Sadly the round trip was well over three hours, and then there was all the cleaning to be done. But a good day.

Thanks, Mari!

rand()m quote

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

—Anne Frank
