This is an old blog posting that got lost when the hard disk in my server crashed over the summer; I have recovered it from a backup and I'm just now putting it back up.

The title says it all. I am 2/3 vegetarian. I don't eat meat for breakfast or lunch. I only eat meat at dinner. Sounds like some kind of vampire thing: "No meat till sundown!" But it is not.

Ok, es oficial. I am the son of a Hall of Famer. Yeah, you got it. My dad was selected to be part of the Sports Hall of Fame in Puerto Rico. Here is the story, he will be inducted in a ceremony on Oct 5th. Needless to say, I am hoping on a plane and going home for the weekend to be there. It is quite an emotional time for all of us, he deserves this recognition and it was long overdue. But for now, all that's left to say is that we are honored to have in our family a member of the "Pabellón de la Fama del Deporte Puertorriqueño."

One of the most misunderstood characteristics of Hispanic culture is the use of our last names. In the last 20 years, more and more Hispanics are being mentioned in the mainstream of American society.

Depending on how you ask, I am Puertorrican, Caribeño, Hispanic, Latino or American.
