Canada is changing

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2023.09.10

I note that Canada's first World Cup showing (and first victory over an american team) comes on the 30th anniversary of our last win of a Stanley Cup. My son's generation has zero interest in hockey and all play basketball. Canada is changing.

P.S. Shout out to the Japanese broadcasters for cutting off the coverage of the game with only ninety seconds left in overtime.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
