Friday John Ku – AKA TGIF

~ John W. Howell

 

A cold day here on Mustang Island.The high only fifty-three degrees. Come on you guys. To us fifty-three is a very cold number. Had to put on a long-sleeved polo shirt and denim pants. Been thinking about the Ugg slippers but want to hold off until the highs are in the forties. You know how it is with Uggs. You start wearing those things, and folks take you for an eccentric. Of course, I think people believe me to be pretty unconventional as it is. Okay, out come the Uggs but only until tomorrow. It is supposed to be back to eighty degrees. I think I’ll build a fire in the fireplace and get out some hot toddy makings. Could be time to put on the Christmas music too. Then again it’s going to be eighty degrees tomorrow. I guess I’ll hold off. Today’s John Ku talks about being impetuous. I hope you have a grand weekend.

One minute it’s black,

The next you’ve decided white. . .

How about some thought.

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  1. After living all these years in India, the 50’s seems cold to me also. But then again we don’t have whole-house heating. It gets that cool here as we’re on a plateau in the Western Ghats. Have a great weekend, John. 🙂 — Suzanne

  2. It’s chilly in Branson, but it hasn’t dampened the festivities. Reading your John Ku, though, has stirred impetuousness and the sudden urge for a pair of Uggs. 😀 Have a great day, John, and stay warm.

  3. We’re going through the same old hot-to-cold, never knowing what to wear, do we open the windows or leave the AC on? If you want to wear your Uggs – do it, it’ll be hot again before you know it.

  5. Weather forecasters like to talk about wind-chill. It is the rate at which cold moist air wicks heat from the skin. What they do not mention, is how that wet gulf air sneaks through your jacket and chills you to the bone. I would rather face -15F in Minnesota than 33F and raining on the gulf coast.

  7. You guys in the Deep South slay me! Winter boots for 53-degree weather! I woke up to a thin layer of snow on the ground and the temperature was 14F and going to a high of 24F today! So glad you left your Uggs in the closet, John!

      1. Very true + my Labatt’s too! Seriously, I don’t do well in hot humid weather and I don’t have to worry about guys named Harvey or gals named Irma – so I won’t complain too much!

  11. We woke up to a heavy frost yesterday, so 50 sounds pretty comfy. Still, I remember being in Gulfport when 50 might feel damp and pretty awful. A fireplace will help — so will the Uggs. Enjoy the brief cold, and know that somewhere, it’s going to stay cold for a while!!

  12. Hmmm – good decision to postpone Christmas for now! 😛 Let’s at least get Thanksgiving out of the way first! 😉
    Hope that hot toddy warms your cockles like the Uggs did your tootsies! 😀

  13. Our weather is up and down, too. I turned the furnace on for the first time yesterday. My son (who is a walking-talking furnace himself) is lobbying to put the AC back on. Probably will have to; I think we’re going back up to the low 80s. Craziness.

    As for Christmas, my dad put up his outdoor lights yesterday. He won’t light them until after Thanksgiving, but he wanted to do the work while it was still relatively nice outside. When we were kids, I swear he waited for the coldest weekend to do it. I guess without us there to help, he smartened up. 😉 And the music? Go ahead and play it. My daughter listens to it all year long!

  15. Never too early to pull out the Uggs or the Christmas music! I’ve got mine on and enjoying all the rain we’ve been getting:)

  18. How did bright warm autumn days just before Halloween suddenly become cold and barren? In a flash, it changed. I’m in my LL Bean wicked good slippers. Please, no Christmas music. I can hardly think of Thanksgiving. Low 30’s now and 16 tonight. Oh, joy!

  20. Ha, ha! Hey, 50+º is Winter here in Florida. No flip flops on those days. We won’t be seeing temperatures like that until January or February. In the meantime, it’s 82º F. Great John Ku! 😀
