My mind was in overdrive. I tossed and turned, tapped my fingers to the beat of a clock, took deep breaths, read until my eyes got heavy, watched a boring show &#8212; nothing. So getting up early for a morning meeting was weird &#8212; wide awake and tired already. To add to the strange awakening, the morning clouds prevented the bright sunlight from filtering through. It even drizzled a little. A drizzle in a heat wave! How weird is that? There was a battle between rain and sun because at 9 AM, the golden rays had yet to emerge. However, by noon, solar power proved to be the victor. And there above the heavens our star boasted it&#8217;s majesty for most of the day.<\/p>\n<p>The heat here in California is affecting my concentration. I feel like a prize fighter waiting for the final bell to end a match that has dragged far too long.\u00a0\u00a0<em>Stamina! Stamina!<\/em>\u00a0I need to hold on till the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I could leave you with something profound but there&#8217;s nothing up in the attic of my brain but a pile of melted scattered ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I\u2019m exaggerating. \u00a0And life\u2019s still good. \u00a0But I certainly wish\u00a0your day is better than mine. If not, as a consolation, I hope at least my collection of jokes this week will snap\u00a0you out of your doldrums\u00a0&#8230; even for just a moment.<\/p>\n<p>TGIF people!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12887 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Heat-Wave.jpg\" alt=\"Stephen Wright heat wave quote\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Heat-Wave.jpg 480w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Heat-Wave-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Heat-Wave-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Heat-Wave-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<h5>Joke of the Week<\/h5>\n<p><em>Thanks to Peter Paul of South Pasadena, CA for sending this joke.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12888 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Linguistics.jpg\" alt=\"TGIF Joke of the Week: Linguistics\" width=\"354\" height=\"2109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Linguistics.jpg 354w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Linguistics-172x1024.jpg 172w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/><br \/>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<h5>Video of the Week<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4808\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Funny.gif\" alt=\"funny video\" width=\"120\" height=\"90\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Two Crooners<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>Sent by Don of Kelowna, B.C.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crooners: Man vs. Dog\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_cItduEsBIs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Don&#8217;s Puns<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>From Don&#8217;s collection of puns<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12890\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Past-Tents.jpg\" alt=\"Don's Puns: Past Tents\" width=\"480\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Past-Tents.jpg 480w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Past-Tents-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"bdaia-separator se-single\" style=\"margin-top:30px !important;margin-bottom:30px !important;\"><\/div>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Parting Shot<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks to Terry of Santa Monica, CA who shared this.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12886\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/The-Meow.gif\" alt=\"Parting Shot: The Meow\" width=\"189\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Good, the Bad, and the &#8230; meow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pompous linguistics professor was lecturing her class one day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[818],"tags":[38,1232,2701,2702,877,2703,2704],"class_list":["post-12891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-raouls-tgif","tag-california","tag-dog","tag-heat-wave","tag-linguistics","tag-pets","tag-professor","tag-student"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
