When I still smoked cigarettes I was sitting on a curb near a parque central in Hondarus catching some shade and avoiding my motorcycle. As I sat a small, hunched, grey-haired woman wrapped in what seemed like thirty scarves and a small straw fedora-ish hat walked slowly up to spot where I was smoking in the shade. Cane first, then feet. Cane first, then feet. She saw me and my bad habit and looked at me and say, "Ah, la sabroso dolor." That translates roughly into "tasty pain" or so you get the figure of it. My experience with life has been along those lines. Tasty pain. That said I have been beat down to then rise up enough times to feel like I have a small but sturdy soapbox.
