First the Friday Fill-in 77

1. A smile is something to share.
2. Ticket To Ride: Europe and San Juan is are my favorite board or card game (but it was hard to pick because I am a total board/card game geek).3. I would love to have more happiness in my life and less stress.
4. When I think of the Summer Solstice, I think of sunny days.
5. I just remembered I need to submit my entries for the fair soon.
6. One of my favorite song lyrics goes like this:

Oh, on I burn/Fuel is pumping engines/Burning hard/Loose and clean

Oh, and on I burn/Churning my direction/Quench my thirst with gasoline

So gimme fuel/Gimme fire/Gimme that which I desire. (partial lyrics to Fuel by Metallica)

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to getting off work and getting the heck out of here, tomorrow my plans include reading, writing, and relaxing… and Sunday, I want to watch Tony Stewart win the race at Infineon (which will always be sears point to me!)!

And now G’s Poetic MI-5:

G sez: For this week’s MI-5, let’s do something different. Let’s write a poem. About the person you should know the best. YOU !! I encourage you to take a moment or two to think about your responses. Reintroduce yourself, to yourself. Rediscover what makes you tick.

I am tenacious and humorous
I wonder what makes some people tick
I hear the heartwarming roar of a stock car engine
I see cars zooming around Sears Point
I want to be at Sears Point on Sunday
I am tenacious and humorous

I pretend to have photographic talent
I feel concern and frustration
I touch the smooth skin of my nephew
I worry about the future
I cry for critically ill children
I am tenacious and humorous

I understand love is elusive
I say it’s out there somewhere
I dream of rollercoaster overpasses and rolling off of redwood picnic tables
I try to be the best person I can be
I hope my nephew loves me when he’s older and I am ancient
I am tenacious and humorous
