“You can’t get out of it, John,” Lori remarked.
“What, Lori? I’ve forgotten what we were talking about. Suddenly we are champion wine tasters. All I have hoped for is a quiet evening with a very lovely woman.”
“You still can’t get out of it, even with flattery. You were going to tell me how a physician ends up at IBS running errands for a lawyer,” she smiled, pointedly not meaning to be insulting.
“Oh, yes. That was it. Well, to make the story short, I do have a medical degree and I am licensed to practice in the State of
Lori laughed, “So you really did operate on one of Folley’s Russian customers, here on the floor?”
“Yes, right over there next to the wall. I’ll have to find the story Henri was talking about. It probably says the manager did the operation and I assisted.”
“I am impressed, John. I’ll find the story for you. I want to see it myself.”
“Well, if you’re impressed, Miss Li, maybe it was worthwhile. I don’t think you are easily impressed.”
“You might be surprised, John.”
As Thomas was leaning forward over the table toward Lori, Henri the waiter arrived. “Are you ready to order?”
Thomas sunk back in his chair, “Yes, I think we are. Lori you ready?”
“Something light, fish I think. The grouper sounds good.”

I want to introduce the Mayor of New York City. He was asking me about the unusual occurrence of an operation being performed right here on my dining room floor. He saw the story in the Post.

About the Book
This is a story of ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things. The reader might see John Thomas’ gift of genius. His genius is in using the gift of “seeing things other people don’t notice.” His goal is to prove the concept that, “nothing happens until someone does something.” The equation is simple: Human Intent – Leads to – Action Decision – Modified by – Influencing Factors – Equals – Action Results. Was it true that this process was so ingrained in human behavior that you could actually predict the action results, even into the future? If so, did that say something about God’s gift of “free will.” John Thomas becomes like other heroes … wealthy, wanted and in love while he relentlessly pursues an impact with intent.
