The ROMEO's

That's the title of my story that I'm going to write for NaNo.

Either that or The R.O.M.E.O.'s. I haven't decided if I want the periods in there or not. We'll see when its all said and done.

A bit of the plot for y'all.

R.O.M.E.O. stands for "Retired Old Men Eating Out". Got the idea from a patient that I was going to make an appointment for. He could come in one day "because I have a meeting with the ROMEO's." Of course I had to ask, and so formed the idea. That was well over a year ago. I can't even remember the patients name to give him a proper thanks, but that's probably for the best, considering the HIPPA (HIPAA??) rules.

Ok, a little about each character*.

Russell Staines: Russell means the "red-haired one". He is just your average retired guy with a wife that he's been married to for 49 years. I'm gonna have to think of soemthing interesting for him.

Oscar Towers: Oscar means "divine spear; divine spear-man." I just needed a name beginning with an 'O'. Oscar is widow and he's always running late, usually thanks to his neighbor.

Macon Rutgers: Macon means "the Maker". He's widowed and having a hard time with everything, refusing help from his daughter.

Eddy Quentin: Eddy of course is short for Edwin, which means "prosperous friend". Eddy is a widow as well who has recently moved in with his son and daught-in-law. He's just found out he's about to become a grandfather.

Orlando Landers: Orlando means "from the famous land." His wife is dying from cancer and he's having a hard time coming to gripes with reality.

Each guy will have his tale to tell and I'm looking forward to hearing it. Let's all hope this comes together nicely for a good 50,000+ word novel that might someday get published.
