Heaven Help Us it is Really Friday

March 21, 2014 · by John W. Howell · in TGIF, Uncategorized · 22 Comments

Thanks be to our lucky stars; we made it. Only eight more hours before we can break the binds that tie us to our money machine and run headlong into the ethereal bliss that is the weekend. We can be free, to be, who we want to be. (Whoa wait a minute. This is getting out of hand and sounds like a Coke or US Army commercial)

It is always good to hit the last day of the week and know we have fought the good fight and have given it our best shot. We need to take a minute and reward ourselves if for nothing else than actually making it through the week.

Here is the Haiku celebrating our fortitude during the work week.

All week we stood tall,

Crouching in the perfect spot . . .

To avoid arrows.

Have a great weekend

It’s a big Friday for me, John, as it is the last 24 hours of the Kickstarter, and while it’s a time to celebrate, I tell you, it’s also a time to sigh in relief!

  I am sure. You can now put on your comfy clothes, kick back, and rest a minute.

Always good to crouch at just the right time John, Those ‘slings and arrows’ certainly find their target sometimes. Have a great weekend. 😀 xxx

Funny how you stopped yourself there, because I was gonna tell you it WAS starting to feel very much like a Coke commercial.
Steer clear of the arrows, hermano.
