Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

~ John W. Howell

Funny Friday

 

This week had its challenges for sure. Stepping away from the personal, the week saw a couple of good things as well. Gwen Plano and I finished the draft of The Contract. By a draft, I am referring to the manuscript that is ready for a Beta read. We will be giving it over to our editor after the beta readers provide their input. We received a super response to our call for Beta readers. My thanks to everyone who volunteered. There will be more to say about the book as we get closer to the publication which looks like may or June.

Here is South Texas we are under a winter storm warning. A WINTER STORM WARNING????? WTH.  Yes, they are calling for snow here. It’s not going to stick but could be up to an inch in some places. Come on, folks. This is the South. I hope I can get a couple of pictures cause it will make an interesting Views of the Neighborhood. Today’s JohnKu talks about the weather. I hope you have a great weekend.

The sun feels real warm,

I will lay and rest my bones. . .

Whoops, where’s my snowsuit?

  1. I was sorry to read of your sad news this week, John. Congrats to you and Gwen for completing The Contract … good luck with the next steps! The weather is definitely strange these days. Love that poem! 🙂

  2. We too are under a watch for snow, but it’s normal for us. What’s up with you guys? I hope you get done good pictures. In case you’ve forgotten the protocol, rush out and buy more bread, milk and water than your family normally consumes in a month.

    1. Ha ha ha. We never believe it will happen so here we are huddled and weak having to exist on this week’s groceries. Thanks for the laugh, Dan (We got about an inch. I’ll show it off on Sunday.

  6. They’ve been forecasting snow for SW Ohio, but apparently, it was a false alarm. Today’s forecast doesn’t mention it. Enjoy your snow, John. I will be awaiting your photos.

  7. Dig out that snowsuit and ask the producer for a photo op. I’d love to see that. LOL It’s 23 degrees where I live; “misery loves company” right? 😀

  8. And to think I was laughing about it yesterday. Usually when the weatherman says a cold front is coming, we can expect a dip of 2-6 degrees – big deal! When I heard snow in Texas this morning, it brought back memories of the snow flurries I saw here back in ’77. [oh jeez, listen to me “back in ’77” I sound like the old folks on the porch talking about the storm of ’22!!!]

  11. Now I’m disillusioned…a snow watch in your neck of the woods. Is there no justice? 🙂

    We’re under one for the next five days or so, but mostly just flurries or a stray snow shower.

    I love Dan’s comment about the bread, milk, and water. So true!

  13. It’s my experience that the south shuts down when a single flurry falls, so I hope you’re well stocked. (Add toilet paper to Dan’s list.)

    I’m looking forward to the snowy pictures. Try to enjoy the weather. I bet the dogs will love it!

  14. Happy Friday, John! Enjoy the snowfall with the full knowledge that it won’t stay long. 🙂
    We Canadians are settling in for a least three more months of the white stuff. Tis the season! 🙂

  19. The most wonderful thing I ever saw was a Mexican family experiencing their first snowfall. Never quite seen such delight in the face of children. I showed them how to make a snowman.

  20. The GOOD thing about snow in the south is that it’s gone just as fast as it arrived! Here, once it starts snowing, it doesn’t seem to know when to stop. Today is sunny but frigid — flurries predicted for this evening.

  23. Hi John. I saw the reports and wondered about Port A. A contact in Austin just told me that they got some snow. And sadly, we are not to be exempt. The big freeze/ice is predicted for the next day too. It just happened that I got my twice monthly grocery order today… so I’m staying put. Stay warm! Hugs.

  24. It’s only snowed here a few times since I moved here in the late 60’s in the Bay Area. It didn’t stick down here in the valley either but was fun watching it come down, and it made the mountains pretty.

    I hope if it snows you get a photo or two. Stay warm!
