Larry, Jill, Picasso and other perks

This November I will be married 30 years. Following our wedding in Lima, we flew to Miami and after a couple of days, we flew to New York for our honeymoon. I had not been to The City, plus there was some added bonuses of going there. Some known, and some not ... disclosed?

I have known Larry since 70/71 when I worked at his fathers shop in NW Miami for a few months. So I worked for him, and with him. We maintained a friendship afterward. Later, just a little later, I met Jill his wife to be, and when they moved to New York we kept occasional contact. It was gracious of them to offer us to stay in their apartment in the city for our honeymoon. We were received at the airport, and giving a tour of town. Also, we had the opportunity for an off Broadway show, and some fine dining. First class man!!

With my wife we visited the Met museum of Modern Art were Guernica was exhibited, prior to its return to Spain of couple of years later. It is now showcased at the Reina Sofía in Madrid. If you know about the atrocities of the Spanish civil war, here was modern art's most powerful anti war statement. A beautiful strong as ever statement.

What else? What else? .. Well .. Remember that scene in Ben Hur, everybody has seen it right?. .. When the wealthy Arab visits the Roman bath to arrange the wagering for the race. After obtaining the best odds from Messala, one of his officers asks ...
Who is the driver of your chariot? ... The reply ...

"Oh!! .. I did not mentioned it? ... How forgetful of me ...

Its Judah, Judah Ben-Hur"

I should add, ... the airline tickets to NY were provided by Ryder Systems. I had won some sort of management contest ... So I just made good use of them. How forgetful of me about that minor additional detail on ... my honeymoon. Look, after all I did have to pay for parking at the Miami airport.

It was nice to meet Picasso, it was great to see Larry and Jill, and so special to be with the woman that I have loved for 30 years. The mother of my favorite son, and my favorite daughter. This Sunday ... Happy Mothers day Jill ... Happy Mothers day Mama Mata!!!

Happy, Happy to all ... Mothers

Repulgue ...

I had never heard of this word or its use. The following info comes from ...http://www.seashellsandsunflowers.blogspot.com/ The repulgue is the edge of the empanada . Much like an edge of a pie crust, the repulgue helps hold the empanada together. In Argentina, it also helps distinguish between different empanada flavors thus a means to ID the product. In hand made operations the beef empanada will always have the same edge style, and many shops will provide a diagram showing the various repulgues and their corresponding fillings.

Y eso? No, no ...no !! Como va se' ?

Después del pedido de Carola en Primos Gasco sobre información del tatarabuelo Ángel Gasco, tuve comunicación con ella para contribuir mi conocimiento sobre mi bisabuelo. Existe buen desafío por adelante para obtener y comprobar con documentos lo Italiano de ese Ángel Gasco. Digo "ese" por Ángel Gasco, natural de Albissola, padre de "el del duelo" del mismo nombre en el Cuzco, quien fue natural de Ilo, Moquegua. Perseguir esta documentación y obtener lo necesario requiere un poco de suerte, mas que todo porque las fechas coinciden con la invasión y destrucción de infinidad de archivos por los Chilenos en su avance a Lima en la Guerra del Pacífico. Esta es copia de la Partida de Bautismo de Cesar Augusto Gasco hijo natural de Josefa Morales. Evento de un 28 de Setiembre de 1882, criatura de 73 días. En la parte superior izquierda, se nota el añadido de Ángel Gasco como Padre que reconoce y firma un 11 de Enero de 1883. (La pagina de los Ghersi tiene a Angel en 2do m...

Its a beautifull morning .....
