an idle question...

i picked up an old folder of writing and found a bit from somewhere in the summer of 1999, written apparently during the security stand-down at Los Alamos. there's a brief reference to "the mythological history of espionage and why the rose is symbol for it," but no further details.

i could go hunting around the internet, but i should really get out of the house and moving. so instead -- any ideas? theories? stories?

tell me a story. it can be true, it can be flimsy, it can be made up out of thin air on the spot. but tell me a good story about roses and spycraft.
