Responses!!! lol. Now I see what it takes to get a response. Hey, LR, missed you too, brother. Just came back from California - L.A. and 'HUMBOLDT COUNTY' to visit my son along with my daughter. Had a great time but it's always nice returning home, wherever that is. I am looking for a place to move ...

Hues of burgundy emanate
from half filled glass
to soften life's black and white.

Merlot and Brahms, flowing
in harmony, plot alternate course
through eve's looming tedium.

Daylight drains in unison
with dwindling glass, to release
