It gives me inordinate pleasure to announce that earlier today I received the great news that my sister in law Yan has had a baby. I don’t have much detail yet, but both mother and baby are apparently doing well. This is fantastic news which fills me with a joy unlike any other. To be honest the notion of my little brother Luke becoming a dad is a bit strange, although I know he is going to make a superb father. As for now though, my main concern is how I’m going to get to meet Luke, Yan and the newest member of our family.
