Opening Chapter Breakfast Ball
I started writing Breakfast Ball because I wanted to empathize with the plight of much of the dwindling middle class in America. Having been one of the architects of residential mortgage lending for the past 34 years, I thought I was in a unique position to comment on many of the sad, crazy and common elements of the recent recession. I also love golf and thought it would be fun and uplifting to combine the sport that was the fastest growing over the past 30 years (now shrinking actually) into a fun fictional novel with a message: You Deserve a Second Shot at Success. Hence the novel: Breakfast Ball, which is another expression for taking a mulligan (a second shot without penalty in golf).
