Notes - a bit of humor / working on Brothers -7


         1356 hours. A very quiet and relaxing day so far about as tranquil here in the shade just beyond the open bedroom sliding door (about an arm's length away) and balcony. High tide. We sat out earlier. Carol was reading. We did see a small pod of dolphin problem part of the same group we saw yesterday. They are fun to watch with binoculars (an old pair of Tasco 7X50). The bright Florida sun is actually quite warm to our autumn toned Ohio skin.

         You took a secret photo of Carol in a relaxed and reading state. Pop it in here. - Amorella

         Sly and wicked humor, orndorff. Let's put this type of humor in the Brothers-7 pot also. Let it stew for a bit. Post. - Amorella


          Late afternoon and you are reading in the shade at McD's before picking up milk at Publix. Let's get to it. - Amorella

         1645 hours. I have the original Brothers Seven in front of me and it is a domestic scene with brownies and cookies husbands and wives, talk of Captain Lamar, their tombstones, and Grandpa's favorite poem, "I met a man who wasn't there," for a total of 1445 words. Do I work this down adding your suggestions or do I start over? Personally, as this appears to be continuously put together serendipitously I don't know that it makes any difference how this is put together. In some ways the rhythm and the content of the words have a tendency to mimic my everyday life, as it is each day I write. You add as you wish an ingredient or two to the mix from what is important in the moment. I assume these 'extras' are from the heart to add an authenticity to what otherwise might not be there.

         Basically you got it in the last sentence. - Amorella

         Then do I add the ingredients to what I have in a rewrite or write anew? I could ask this but the more practical approach would be to work it in with what's here.

         You can start and finish this up tonight orndorff. - Amorella

         Sly and wicked humor plus being good friends from youth - a skip - old age.

         2015 hours. I'm about a third through the work but I don't feel good about it. Ready to stop for the night.

         Perhaps tomorrow old man. Post. - Amorella
