Dilip's Post

My Lunch with Jeff Savage
Your browser may not support display of this image.
      As you may have known I, Dilip, have met Jeff Savage recently eating lunch with him. Jeff Savage is a sports author that inspired me to write. While I was eating with him he was both signing books and answering questions at the same time. He was really funny. Whenever someone asked him what or who inspired him, he would just take money from his wallet and show it to us. Also, when someone asked him if he met a specific athlete, he would just reply,” That’s my job Holmes.” I also asked him some questions. My first question was which sport are you planning on writing about, but different from all other sports you’ve written? He said that he was not sure what it would be but he’s thinking about it. My second question was what skateboard athletes have you met besides Tony Hawk? He ended up meeting a bunch of skaters but didn’t write about them, because they did not follow his three rules which were they had to be an excellent athlete who did right choices and was a role model. My last question was if you had a choice of having a different job, what it would be. He told me he wanted to be a sports athlete himself so he could get paid almost more than his writing job. Jeff Savage was the first famous person I’ve met in my life and was fun and nice to talk to.

I have once met an author who also writes nonfiction. She writes about places from around the world. The only different thing is that we couldn't have lunch with her.

Wow, Dilip! It must have been exciting to talk to Jeff Savage! Jeff Savage was probably a energetic man to talk to. Was it pretty cool when you met him up close asking him questions? Anyway, it probably might have been fantastic!
