DAVE THOMAS: My Birthday

Odd, Submissions, , ,

My birthday arrives with anticipation on a yearly basis. It keeps on coming even after 70 years. My birthday is less important than it once was. No parties. No cakes. Just well wishes.

Yet as I age, the number becomes important. Will I beat the usual life span?

Who knows?

Dave Thomas retired years ago and stumbled on this fascinating writing technique through Daniel Pink. Dave had never written before, nor had he ever been published. Just dreaming.

Andrew had never beaten his dad in golf. He’d been close; he’d faltered before.

Andrew smiled. This was his time. He knew. His moment had finally arrived.

The Titleist rolled true.

Andrew smiled. Dad was proud.

Dave is living retired in California. He is completely new to writing. He credits Daniel Pink for the inspiration.
