farewell, old shirt

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2024.02.03

Today it is with a heavy heart that I mark the passing for a shirt from Eddie Bauer that my mother gave me circa the year 2011 -- or perhaps 2003. It just .. wore through the sleeve. I blame working from home and slouching in a chair with armrests. They don't make 'em like that anymore!

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
