Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

“Should we be laying in the road on Friday?”
“Huh? Road?”
“Yeah look at the stripes down the center.”
“Light from the windows.”
“Oh. Thank heavens.”

Before we begin I just want you to know I have a story published on Vocal Media. It is titled The Last Hum – Before the end. If you visit and like the story you can hit “like.”  Here is the link https://vocal.media/fiction/the-last-hum

Yes, it is Friday again. Always nice to see it.  I think everyone is looking forward to the Fourth of July holiday. Makes for a nice long weekend.

The City of Lakeway has reinstated the Fourth of July parade, so I’ll be there. It is being held on Saturday, so I will bring it to you on Views of the Neighborhood on Sunday. I always enjoy a Fourth of July parade. So I hope you will stop by.

Today’s JohnKu talks about our Country’s birthday. I hope you all enjoy the weekend.

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.

  13. Congratulations on the story, John. The Fourth of July parade should be fun. Must have been a while since you saw that many people in one place.

  21. Happy Fourth of July weekend, John. We’ve got parades and fireworks returning this year, and I suspect they’ll be well-attended. Might have to get one of those Thunder Shirts for the Monkey though!

  24. Happy 4th of July, John. How fun that’ you’re having a parade. I hope I have a chance to hop online this weekend to check them out.
    I loved The Last Hum. A great dystopian with an unexpected but slam-dunk ending!
