Friday John Ku – AKA – TGIF

  Another Friday here in Austin Texas. We are still waiting for word on the return to Port Aransas. We can’t go back until the electricity is turned on and it is still off. There was some word that it would be back on by tomorrow but we have heard that word before. All we […]

Thursday – A Little Personal – A call for Volunteers

“Hey, Boss.” “Yes, Lucy?” “Aren’t you releasing a book on October 1st?” “Yes, I am.” “Don’t you think it is time to ask for some help?” “So stand aside and I’ll make a call for volunteers.” I will be launching Circumstances of Childhood,  a fictional family life story, with a traditional blog tour. The material […]

Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day

  Wednesday story day again. Last week we were there when Mrs. Murphy came off hook regarding Seth’s pressing an investigation on Lucas. Most of us believe Seth and Harriet have some kind of agenda in this whole matter. I see that Seth is entering Lucas’ room right now, so we better get over there. […]

Top Ten Things Not to Do After a Hurricane Hits Your House

  10 If a hurricane hits your house, do not start a Go Fund Me campaign. If you do, at best you’ll look like a privateer. At worst, you may not collect anything but some old Chucky Cheese tokens. ( Made you feel better for a day huh, Boewolf?) 9 If a hurricane hits your house, […]

Friday John Ku – AKA – TGIF

  It is Friday again and time to look forward to the weekend. It is also time to say thank you for all the warm wishes my family and I have received as a result of hurricane Harvey making a mess out of our island.  Thank you all. I am happy to report that the damage […]

Thursday – A Little Personal – Fur Kids in Exile

“Okay, John. Let’s chat.” “Alright, Stella. What do you want to talk about?” “Being a refugee.” “We are not refugees. We are evacuees.” “A rose by any other name is still a rose.” “Okay, I’ll admit this is not ideal. We are better off than a lot of the Harvey Hurricane victims” “Just look at […]

Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day

It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week we stood by as Harriet offered to get Lucas, a lawyer. We all thought that was a little odd and asked ourselves the question, “What is on her agenda.” Well, it is hoped that we find out over time. Let’s get back to the hospital since […]
