Thanks Haggis! That's really all it's supposed to be. A fun book with a simple plot that is just robust enough to hang some humor on.
I've already started sketching out a sequel. You've heard of a 'beach read?' This is a 'beach write.' The families aren't going on another vacation (I'm afraid I'd do all the same jokes). Instead, Vinnie and Dave will be coaching an intramural soccer team. I've been storing up all my observations as a soccer coach and have a lot of material.
At one point I was thinking of having Dave and Vinnie find a time-travel machine so I could plop them in various critical points in world history. That would be fun, and I'd also do some fun spoofing on time travel novels. But then I decided it might be too derivative of Ted and Bill's Excellent Adventure. What do you all think?
Thanks again for taking the time to read my story.
