Today is December 10th and in my home country we celebrate the name Malin and the invention of Dynamite.

Shake and Bake Day, like my friend Xaver said.

Did I ever mention to you that my Dad, the engineer, studied the science of Explosions? With a daughter named Malin we have many reasons to celebrate this day in my family.

Aftercomment: My parents are saying that the Nobel day did not in any way influence their decision to give me the name Malin.

Aftercomment 2: My Dad is no longer searching Gold in the bedrock. Instead he is researching in Wind mills and sustainable energy.
