I was speaking to a spry young Nonno today while at Piccininni Park. I had spoken to him once before. He told me how he takes care of his granddaughter five days a week, 12 hours a day. He said it keeps him young.
Today when we spoke again he told me of how children and seniors are his heroes. He told me how he often visits a nearby nursing home and plays his accordion for the residents. He said seeing the smiles on the faces of the people who can no longer take care of themselves is the greatest reward. He thinks himself a very lucky man.
I like men like that.

In other news, today on the Dufferin bus there was a curly haired man wearing a woolly sweater. He licked his finger just before pressing the 'Stop' button.
