Well it’s been a crazy week for me. I’m calmer now. I’ve been going nuts trying to sort out my mind. I needed to get away and be with people and been at my Amvets post just to get out. In fact as I said I’ve been doing writing from there. Being there triggered some of my last few days writings. The first piece was an inspiration from being there Friday and yesterday. I had actually put myself in the shoes of my character Dani. I sat at the bar scribbling away Part II of FAIRMOUNT to STARKEY when someone walked in the club. It was the inspiration behind one off my characters (not that it’s him in the story) but somehow he seemed to inspire it. I thought now how Dani would act when she saw him. I’m sure this guy thought I was nuts, weird or maybe drunk (I only had orange and cranberry juice mixed). I acted like I picture Dani would be; tongue tied and unable to talk. Actually the guy did not pay me any mind for awhile and watched TV but not March Madness. I added that due to watching a game on the TV yesterday. As for after putting myself in Dani’s shoes and noting my thoughts I closed my notebook to have an intelligent conversation with the guy (a Voyageur in my Voiture).
Eventually I think I’ll need to confess that he for some reason became the inspiration behind a fictional character; I hope he won’t be upset. In my story two of the other guys from my past were quite flattered to be the inspiration.(Of course this was years ago when I first started working on this piece). Now one thing you must know I’m only using a few things about them such as looks, mannerisms I’ve noticed, drink choices, how they relate with people and of course military service branches.
As for Dani, she’s a combination of many people. Do I like getting into a character’s head and try to be them? Don’t know as I never done it before. Ok big confession I’ve also put myself also in the other female character of Kendall or Keni; on Friday. Interesting being two or should I say three different people. I’m sure now the guy (who is an officer of my vets post as well as Voyageur) must think I have multi-personalities. The bartender knew what I was doing since I told her and she thought it funny. Keep laughing when she’d look over at me.
I think I’d make a good actress now.
“I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.”
Terry’s word for Saturday was IDYLLIC. I used it three times in different context in the second piece.
The wacky holidays was a simple piece to figure out.
Well it’s Sunday. Who will I be today? Myself I hope as I try to continue with my next installment of my story. I’ll be posting it after I get enough parts worked up; but many of my verses center around my characters so stayed tuned to ‘Ramblings’.
Until tomorrow....it’s Sunday or you can say Monday Eve; as always Stay Safe.

MADNESS of MARCH and MIND
She thought it was a dream
her crush actually said more than hello
Taking a seat near her at the bar....she
tried to be nonchalant
But her heart thumped loudly....thought
sure he could hear
Tongue tied....she could not speak
Words to him she could not convey
He ignore her anyway....as his eyes were glue to the plasma screen in front
of them
March Madness played out on the TV....
while maddening thoughts of him
played out in her mind
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜.
IDYLLIC
It was an idyllic idea
taking a stroll through the meadow
Under a cluster of trees
found the idyllic spot to picnic
An idyllic day just being together
on a warm Saturday in April

WACKY HOLIDAYS MARCH 20th
(National Corndog Day; National Ravioli
Day; International Sports Car Racing
Day and French Language Day)
Had a corndog at the Twelve Hours of
Sebring Motorsports race
Merci I told the food worker after
handing me my change
The corndog was not as tasty as I
thought
Should have tried the fried ravioli
instead
