CONTINUING YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY
Ken-Dogger: Well, HELLO Brutus…You’re looking motivated
Brutus: I gotta catch up…I saw you cranking out those pushups
KD: I DO like screwing with the young bucks, but your form?
B: I admit I need some refinement, that’s why I’m catching up.
KD: I’ll tell you a secret, you never catch up to someone else. You only continue your own journey.
B: Then what am I doing?
KD: Pushing to new limits for yourself, it’s what we all do.
MARCH...THE MONTH OF MADNESS
Ken-Dogger: Some games huh Mr. Happy?
Mr. Happy: Sheesh, second one was a nail-biter.
KD: And last second shot, Coach said he knew…
MH: It’s March, it’s Madness…No wait, it’s April
KD: Women’s game today, then Men’s tomorrow…
MH: And this AZ Coach is rather saucy…
KD: You don’t get to this level taking a back seat.
MH: Just a shame there are losers here, they’ve won so much.
KD: That’s why it’s Madness Mr. Happy…
WHEN WE LIVE TOGETHER, IT'S UP TO ALL OF US...
Ken-Dogger: Morning Chas, what’s going on?
Chas: Dude, sheltering-in-place…We’re all doing it.
KD: No…we ARE NOT, that’s part of the problem.
Chas: Okay, I’m doing my part, up to authority to police the rest.
KD: It is, and they’re up to the task to maintain order. So why the extra gear?
C: Just in case they’re not up to the challenge.
KD: It’s not up to just them, it’s up to all of us.

STRIVING TO THRIVE
Ken-Dogger: Morning Max, smelling flowers?
Max: Spring you know, they’re blooming…it’s pretty cool
KD: I see that, blooming and growing
M: Hopefully, they thrive…I mean flourish
KD: Yes, let’s see how they do it, seems we’re all learning new ways to thrive
M: Hey, we should all be about striving to thrive.
KD: We are Max, we’re just still figuring it out right now…We’ll get there.
M: Dogger, I know we will.
WHY WE HAVE UMPIRES
Morning Ballers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Gaylord what you doing?
Gaylord: Dude, I’m doctoring the ball
KD: That’s right, baseball’s back, and you already need help?
G: Dude, doctoring gives me my good stuff
KD: But, that’s not playing by the rules.
G: Everyone cheats, where do you think I learned this?
KD: Wow, do I need to revisit the jumping off the bridge story?
G: Naw…I’ll stop, but what about them?
KD: Why we have umpires bro.
If you keep repeating Bullshit, there are many who will believe from the start it is not, and there are many who will choose to believe it is not.
CONSTANTS AND VARIABLES
Ken-Dogger: Et tu, Brutus?
Brutus: Shite just got real and you’re throwing Latin on me?
KD: IKR, seems like a lot of peeps calculating now.
B: Yep, I’m so over the excuses…
Bro, it’s time for action.
KD: It is, and calculating risk.
B: I’m cool with my risk assessment, it’s those others aren’t doing that concerns.
KD: That’s the problem with containment, there are too few constants
B: Well, I’m constant on no risk.
KD: Me too Brutus, me too…

Fritz: Bro, perspective…Does this look like my ball?
KD: No, no it doesn’t, let’s get yours.
