hello, world

My name is Michael Werneburg. This website is home to the photos and opinions I produce.

I am one of the luckiest people on Earth. I somehow managed to marry the woman of my dreams, a singer from a happy family in Kyushu. We're parents to a clever and lively boy named Kenneth, and we've got a second child on the way.

Welcome to my site, a six-thousand-page quagmire of words and photos, sucking in unwary travelers since September 1998.

oh great, it's yakudoshi

2012.01.27, Toronto

I'm now carrying a Japanese good luck symbol around, because I'm soon to turn 41, and in Japan that's very bad news.

It's called yakudoshi, and I don't even know where I can go for the purification ceremony. It doesn't help that my wife's a year away from her own yakudoshi.

Good thing I'm not superstitious, knock on wood!

Hey - I was just checking out your photography. You have a real talent there. Some of those pictures are very interesting. (Cute kids too). I just re-tooled my music studio. It's like going from Frankensteins's lab to a alien base on the moon. It's friggen' cosmic!

Thanks for that, Kevin! Good to hear that you're still working in (and on) the home studio.

We've just launched our business, by the way (see link in upper-right).

Just popping in to say hi, and to have a bit of a look around (looks like I could be looking a while).

Hello, Margaret! Thanks for writing. I'm back in Canada as of this January. We came back after two grueling years of the economic downturn in that country. Happily, it was about two months before the earthquake, tsunami, and the incident at the nuclear power plant. How's everything on the west coast? I see the B&B's still on the go. 8)
