Always good to provide a reminder to you folks here...
Some of YOU take things to the extreme, so this clarification on religious activity during the Holiday season is most poignant.
My physical therapist recommended this book to me.
You all know I'm a fitness nut, but I can still learn new stuff.
Diggin in
Just so you know Ladies, I am not the model here.
We asked for adjustments to the process, we NEED to be more specific...
MAY YOU LIVE IN THE SAME PLACE CONTENTMENT LIVES
Ken-Dogger: Hey Champ, now that’s a look.
Champ: What do ya mean?
KD: You’re smiling, are you also beguiling?
C: Explain beguiling…
KD: Are you trying to deceptively charm me?
C: Nope, just expressing contentment.
KD: Wow, where’d you learn that.
C: By living in this house, contentment lives here.
KD: Yes, yes it does…
“For the moment, Putin has no greater ally than the GOP. Their refusal to approve additional funding for Ukraine’s survival puts Russia at a clear advantage in winning the war. The financial support the U.S. gives now could be a fraction of what is needed if Putin succeeds.-TC
The Journey started a little over two years ago
Morning Bench-markers and Testers,
Ken-Dogger: Petie, what are you doing?
Petie: You’re goin’, I’m goin’ too…
KD: My golf is cutting into our time isn’t it?
P: Ya think? So, I’m joinin’…
KD: Can’t Petie, we’re just adjusting times now, I’m playing the Champ Course today.
P: You ready?
KD: It will be fun, it’s just a benchmark.
P: What grade you think you’ll get.
KD: That’s the cool part, now I just do Pass/Fail.
SEEING SMILES AND SMILING EYES
Ken-Dogger: Morning Yeller, you’re looking excited.
Yeller: Dude, the anticipation…
KD: Oh, you mean the season…
Y: Yes Bro, the season of joy and giving, and children laughing.
KD: Children do get a kick out of this time of year, it’s nice to see smiles
Y: But you can’t see smiles this year, masks you know?
KD: You can’t see those smiling eyes?
Y: Yep, there ain’t no way to hide those smiling eyes…
Morning Peeps,
THIS CHRISTMAS, I GAVE YOU...WHOA, NELLIE
Ken-Dogger: Morning Nellie, what you up to this morning?
Nellie: I'm singing, "Deck the Halls with Balls of Holly..."
KD: WHAT?
N: "Deck the Halls with Balls of Holly..."
KD: Hey girl, I think it's Boughs of Holly...
N: I thought so too, but then ya just don't know what these songs say or mean anymore...
KD: I hear that, go ahead sing on...
N: Okay, don we now our gay apparel...
KD: Nellie, you sure can pick 'em...
COUPLES CELEBRATING LOVE AND THE PHOTOGS WHO CAPTURED THE MOMENT
KEEPING A TENUOUS HOLD ON REALITY
Ken-Dogger: Morning Dixiee, how you doing this fine morning? What's that concerned look on your face.
Dixiee: You seein' what I'm seein'?
KD: What's that Baby Girl?
D: Those dogs there on the cookie sheet, they weren't....
KD: Hold it right there BG, you think Daddy would bake your buddies?
D: Wasn't sure, sometimes reality is tenuous.
KD: Dix, they're just Christmas cookies, here, have one.
D: I'll pass, homies ya know...
And 8 years hence, we could be looking at those Same Americans again...
THE MEANING OF THE SEASON
Ken-Dogger: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, WTH?
Nellie: Don't ask, just don't ask...
KD: But hey girl, what the hey
N: I know, I know, there's just so much controversy now over Christmas, thought I'd eliminate some...
KD: Nellie, that's the trouble, everyone wants to eliminate everybody else's stuff...
N: Seems like peeps need to stop doing God's job and start doing God's work...
KD: There, that's the meaning of the season...
GET TO THE SUBSTANCE
Ken-Dogger: Hey Guys, already tussling today?
Chewy: He called me Red.
Bacca: Well, he called me Blue.
KD: Sheesh, you guys too…Stop the name calling, you’re more than that.
Chewy: Wha…
KD: You guys have more to offer than just labels, can’t you see that?
Bacca: Dude, I only see things in red and blue.
Chewy: Me too…
KD: Then we’ve got some learning to do, you’re missing the spectrum and the growth.
Ken-Dogger: Hey Dak…
Dak: Dogger, what is going on with the economy?
KD: Really? You’re concerned about that?
D: Dude, my stocks…But really, inflation up yet we’ve lessened the deficit by 17% from just last year.
KD: We’re in strange times, we haven’t done a pandemic before…
D: Well, we better start figuring it out.
KD: Who you kidding, we don’t figure anything out anymore, we just pass stuff along.
D: We’re getting to the point where pass-alongs don’t have pass-along catchers.
