Series - Tampa's Gasparilla Parade 2

Greetings from the Hermit Writer.

Drunken pirates are okay.

And while there are attributes to the floats...

Like this stogie puffing ruffian. 

And I liked this fellow's attire.

But honestly what I found most fun...

Well...you can probably guess.

I find people really interesting. I tend to forget how many variety of folks there are, with different tastes and interests.

As a writer it's critical for me to get out and meet and greet new people.

(A momentary return to the floats)

I find a lot of my characters when I go out and about. I mean, I could write a novel just about this attractive lady and her boyfriend.  Sigh. I never should have tried to be anything but a writer.
