David Griffin has been writing for a long time ... about anything that pops into his head. You'll enjoy following his thoughts as he mulls what his daughter has done to his soul. And for that matter, what his dog has done with his heart. Was it unconditional love or just the luck of evolution that bound the two together? Dave can tell a story so well you might be tempted to believe it, and you should believe him when he reflects on what he learned in life. In "Ceil's Front Porch" he tells us what it's like to grow up long after he should have, and who helped him along the way. "Persuasion" reminds us of the terrible responsibility we can have when trying to help someone save their life. "Twinkies" ponders whether we ever change. Reading an anthology of Dave's stories is not a wild ride. It's a pleasant, thoughtful experience that will sometimes leave you with a few tears, sprinkled with his special touch of humor.
