The Argentinian Comes to Dinner

Alejandro, a great friend and classmate from the MBA, found himself in London this week.  Although he's Argentinian by birth, he's living in Madrid.  So we had dinner together last night at our house.


We made an occasion of it- drinks with the kids, a few bottles of Argentinian wine and I cooked a sort-of paella.  And he read stories to the kids at bedtime.  I did sit on the sidelines a few times while the Spanish speakers in the household got suitably animated.

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
