Evening In The Desert

Tonight was one of those near-perfect evenings in the desert. It was around 80 degrees with a gentle breeze so that sitting outside in a t-shirt was quite comfortable. For medicinal reasons, I was working on a bottle of Wild Turkey American Honey Bourbon while listening to Enya, Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett and gazing at the stars and an occasional jet making its approach into McCarren.

I recognize that the RV lifestyle is not for everyone but for me it has been about as good a retirement as I could have hoped for. A friend once referred to it as "living the dream". And this evening was one of those moments.
