Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

“To warn me to bark them to St Louis.”
“How considerate of them.”

Here it is Friday. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know we did. Unfortunately, I was looking forward to the Steelers game on Thanksgiving day. I was the last to know that the game was canceled and rescheduled for Sunday.

There I was saying Go Steelers to everyone, and no one wanted to ruin my day. It was announced shortly after noon on Wednesday that the game was rescheduled for Sunday because of COVID trouble on the Baltimore Ravens team. Oh well, I had about twelve hours of looking forward to a game, which was a feeling that everyone else had lost.

Today’s JohnKu talks about having a hope dashed. I hope you all have a great weekend.

  1. Reminds me of a line from a film (can’t remember which one or who said it).
    Man sidles up to a pretty woman in a bar: “Can I buy you a drink?”
    Pretty woman: “I guess I’ll have a large Kir Royale.”
    Man: “Guess again!”
    ;D

  6. Thanksgiving didn’t seem right with football ending like that! And I don’t understand why – other teams play with the backup, but because Jackson tested positive, the team has to sit out? What is 3 days going to do, when quarantine is 2 weeks?

  7. Good JohnKu. And better luck on Sunday. If the weather is right I will opt for a bit more of ShovelKu to balance out some Turkey calories and will check on the score of the game later. Be well and well adjusted to our covid altered schedule.

  11. You might have been disappointed your game was postponed, but now you get to enjoy it a bit later (better than a cancellation, right?!) Hope your Turkey-day was grand — love Lucy’s expression here … and that gold, bubbly thing on your table!

  16. A sad conclusion of such a brilliant party, dear John! Friday at delivery? Interesting idea! Twiggy might order its visit with DHL as well…It will be faster, but more expensive though…Fridays are always expensive for us. 😁 Maria’s Zen after Thanksgiving day.

  21. Hi, John! Sorry about your game. Perfect poem for 2020. I look forward to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and the dog show every thanksgiving. I was happily surprised neither one was canceled this year.😁 Have a great weekend!
