The Kingfish Way: One Man's Escape from Mediocrity Rob Wood

Kingfish opened his eyes at the exclamation and sat up. A young boy about six years old was playing just a few feet from him. A truck, toy soldiers, and a small boat were scattered around the boy on the sand. Looking up, he noticed Kingfish observing him. "Want to play?" the boy asked cheerfully. "Oh no," said Kingfish, "I'm a little bit old for that, don't you think?" "I don't know," said the boy, "When do you get too old to play?" Phil Fish, aka Kingfish, is about to find out he has a lot to learn. He's just an average guy who can't seem to catch a break. Life's not turning out the way he'd hoped. Until, that is, he gets some valuable advice from a mysterious lady and her tiny dog. This advice leads Phil to meet a prophetic mechanic, a dreamer on a four-wheeling beer cooler, an Asian named Bubba with a penchant for stone necklaces, and other memorable characters while he discovers what he should be when he grows up. The Kingfish Way explains the journey we're all on and how some of us have gotten off the path. The cast of characters in this wildly entertaining tale will make you smile, share a little common sense, and remind you that life was meant to be enjoyed.
