Tazio,

Stop it, Please STOP IT.

You make me reminisce the beautiful times I spent with family in Italy. Indeed, you are right, supper time which usually was between 8:00-9:00 PM was a sacred opportunity which allowed all members of the family to spend quality time together. In Italy, work was important, but time with family came above everything else. It is something which no matter how hard we try here in Canada, and I suppose in the US as well, we cannot reproduce. They seem to have a greater appreciation for life there than we do here with our structured daily routines.

I am hopeful that maybe one day North Americans will realize that there is more to life than working 9 to 5 till age 65 and then dying of cancer.

Ciao,

Vince

PS - At my grandmother's Inn it was cheaper to buy a bottle of wine than a bottle of water. So we drank wine!! (mind you, either one was free for us.....grazie Nonna.)
