picadillo de...

...depression.

ME:

Actually cooked up a picadillo of green beans and hamburger, then picadillo of papaya and hamburger. It's a picadillo day. (Picadillo = chopped up ...kinda...)

Last night's slaughter did not make for a good night. Been there, done that ...so many times in my life. I'm dealing with it better. but today? Wish I were back in Montana or 1991... yeah, that was a good year.

So I'm not going to do much. I should walk into town. Who knows who'll I'll meet. Last night talked to Luis who at the age of 22 seems to be more "with it" than the average Tico. He actually reads! May want to be a psychologist some day. This amazes me.

He sells on the streets the pastries that his sister makes. Means he is very poor. Like Carlos who sells honey. Lots of poor young under-educated Ticos.

Not easy being young and poor anywhere.

Me? When I was young I was also clueless. That too is upsetting me these days.
