La Hija del Mar y el Sol

Today is the day Puerto Rico marks as the day Europeans "discovered" their island. Puerto Rico's national anthem, called La Borinqueña, fancifully describes this discover in these words:

Cuando a sus playas llegó 
Colón exclamó lleno de admiración,
Esta es la linda tierra que busco yo, 
es Borinquen, la hija, la hija del mar y el sol

Translation:

When he arrived on her beaches, Columbus exclaimed, full of admiration, This is the beautiful land that I seek, it is Borinquen, the daughter of the sea and the sun.

Happy Birthday, Sam Rockwell

I saw this picture and wanted to post it. But I didn't know who was in the photo. I did a search and discovered it was Sam Rockwell, which was no help, since I'd never heard of him. But when I looked at his credits, I realized I knew him as Owen—the adult hero in The Way, Way Back. So here's to Sam Rockwell—star of one of my favorite photos and one of my favorite films—on his 51st birthday!
