I don't even know that I think Lois is a main character....she has potential...except I'm thinking about renaming her LeAnne. I'm also toying with taking pics and then having to write about them. Mmmm....
For some reason, I'm thinking one of the people in LeAnne's day is the building manager/custodian. Feels a little obvious...but one of those people who can easily be overlooked but yet make everything go much smoother. Toying with names....and I scroll through several in my mind....first I go to Louis...but since LeAnne is an "L" name I don't think I should chose another L name. Joe seems too expected....so how about Micah. No...the more I think and write about him....Micah is not the right name. I know it's one of those names that is coming back in fashion but I see this as a grizzled older man who has worked hard, maybe several years outside....1st or 2nd generation immigrant from.....I really am feeling Italian background. He wears the dark navy Dickey's brand uniform ...matching shirt and pants....black shoe -- they are a lace-up style similar to the kind postal workers wear...maybe he worked at the post office and spending his post "postal" retirement working. There was an opening at the college and he figured the tuition benefits would be good for his kids. He has an adequate retirement plan from the Postal Service....but retirement turned into too much time on his hands. He does keep a small garden at home and is extremely proud of the tomatoes he raises each summer. He cans an amazing homemade pasta sauce. He also is very proud of his grandson Paul (or Paulo - a nickname). Paul is married to Sheryl, who is pregnant with twins -- their first children. Maybe my former postal worker's name is Carlo....
