I'm camped tonight at Green Valley Ranch Resort and Casino in Henderson, NV for a couple of days.

Cousin Ken and I and a few other folks took a day trip today to check out the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.

Was Love Then

Was love then like a bag of assorted sweets passed around from which one might choose more than once? Some might sting the tongue, some invoke night perfume. Some had centers as bitter as gall, some blended honey and poison, some were quickly swallowed. And among the common bull's-eyes and peppermints a few rare ones; one or two with deadly needles at the heart, another that brought calm and gentle pleasure. Were his fingers closing on that one?
