Here you go David

Across our bowls of Galen Center chili David the Vanpool Co-pilot fixed me with his best fatherly stare, "Do you really wanna be a writer?  Then you'd better start writing every day."  I hemmed and hawed about how this and that and that and the other thing but I knew he was right.  So here you go David.  Perhaps not quite what you had in mind, but I'd say this is a start.
