My thanks to all who sent emails and left comments about Granddad and his diary entries.
I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I did, and if it inspires
some of you to write your own personal decalogues and purpose-in-life
statements, even better.

To the nice young lady who yelled “My Canada includes Accordion Guy!” from a streetcar as it passed by: thanks! That made my weekend.
