This blog is a plática, a conversation, in both Spanish and English about being a Boricua, a Puerto Rican, en la luna, or on the moon (or on its metaphorical facsimile: the United States). The phrase is the title of a poem by Juan Antonio Corretjer, which was made into a song by Roy Brown and updated by Puerto Rican Spanish-rock group Fiel a la Vega.

Laughter
Any and all opportunities to laugh are welcomed around here these days and Lizzy is, bless her blissful soul, a consistent source of glee.
Today, I threw the store-bought Angel Food cake that no one here liked (we had bought it for my dad, but his appetite is less and less each day) over our fence for the critters to enjoy. Before I knew it, Lizzy picked up the empty container from the ground and made a run for it.
My sister chased behind to get a good photo with her phone and captured the moment, if a bit fuzzily.
It is a blessing that a time of unspeakable sadness can be lightened up by the simple joy of a loquita dog.
