Revelry of Folly
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cleetus, we’re at the beach, first time this year.
Cleetus: Well, we do have the RONA, we still need to be careful.
KD: It’s fresh air and salt water and sun…
C: And spacing, remember spacing…
KD: Peeps will be cool, they’ll keep their distance…
C: You’re expecting peeps to stay in their lane?
KD: I just recognized the folly of that thought.
C: Folly is pretty much all we have left now, isn’t it?
KD: Yep, folly revelry…So American right now.

Morning Bipartisan Friends,
Ken-Dogger: What’cha doing Hortense?
Hortense: Looking up the definition of bipartisan
KD: Why?
H: Seems the word scares the Hell out of Repubs.
KD: What did you find?
H: It’s simply of, relating to or involving members of two political parties.
KD: And what is needed is cooperation, agreement, and compromise to make democracy work.
H: Won’t a bipartisan commission lead us to the truth?
KD: Yep, but seems we only want partisan truth anymore.

THE CONCEPT OF A CRITICAL FRIEND
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cisco Kid, you’re walking with the leash better today.
Cisco Kid: Oh gosh thanks, getting a little tired of the harangue though…
KD: Sheesh, I wasn’t ranting, I’m critiquing your progress.
CK: When is it my turn?
KD: I’m just a critical friend, someone you can trust to give you good feedback.
CK: Could you be more of a friend and less of a critic?
KD: Guess I’ve got work to do too, huh Cisco?
CK: Yep, you certainly do.
SOME GET RICHES, SOME GET STRIVING
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Newt
Newt: Prosperity, now that’s a word…
KD: Whoa Newt, where we headed?
N: Like the other day, you said you wanted me to prosper. So, what’s prosperity?
KD: Well, it means success, well-being, wealth and riches.
N: Wait a minute, I’m getting wealth and riches…
KD: There will be no money, the riches are intangible, but wonderful.
N: Oh great, prospering just to prosper…
KD: The riches are in the striving.

Ken-Dogger: Hey Ratso
Ratso: Dude, I’m perplexed, I thought peeps were taking their masks off.
KD: Some are, some aren’t, it’s how comfortable they feel.
R: So we’re back to comfort?
KD: We never left, we always seek comfort, it’s just sometimes beyond reach.
R: So now that they can reach it, They want to bask in it?
KD: Some do, some don’t.
R: What is it with your some do, some don’t, some will, some won’t.
KD: It’s called a Democracy…

B: I’m in contemplation…
KD: Can you do training there?
B: Silly…No…I’m having an issue with expectations
KD: How so?
B: Well, if you must know, there’s a disconnect between your expectations and mine.
KD: And…
B: Let’s keep our expectations to ourselves, I don’t think they’ll ever meet.
