Ken-Dogger: Hey PeeWee, morning…
PeeWee: Hey Bro, I’m sad.
KD: I get sad sometimes too, what’s up?
PW: I’m sad peeps want to rewrite their own history.
KD: Yep, some just want to make their lives into what it’s not.
PW: How you live your life, that’s your record.
KD: True, the daily little tasks become your life.
PW: So you can do them well, or you can do them poorly.
KD: Peeps know what you do, how you did it, and what it meant.
PW: Revising intent is a loser’s game…why I’m sad.
Morning Peeps,
AFTER THE LYING STARTS
Ken-Dogger: What ya doing Petra?
Petra: Reviewing my options
KD: Options?
P: Dude, I need a new line of work.
KD: What’s wrong with your current one?
P: I keep having to tell the truth and fix stuff, I need to see my counselor.
KD: Not really sure there is work where you don’t have to tell the truth or fix problems.
P: Is too, Counselor said it is what politicians do, I only need to get elected.
KD: That’s when the lying starts.
AFTER THE DNC, FEELING A LITTLE SPIRITUAL
Ken-Dogger: Can’t wait to hear this, you guys practicing?
Guys: Yep, listen… “Oh Happy Day (oh happy day)
KD: Wow, guys into spirituals this morning…
Lead Singer Dog: Yes, but the lyrics bog us down.
KD: It’s not the words that matter, it’s the feelings you get…
Pip Dog #1: You mean when he washed?
KD: When he washed, I thought it was when Jesus walked?
LSD: Dude, stick with the feelings…it washes the sins away.
(Context: 2018 when Paul and Michael were headed to the Hoosqow)
Coolio: Ken-Dogger, dude, ya gotta get your lawyer smarts on and spring me...
KD: Coolio, I'm workin' here, but wheels of justice grind slowly
Coolio: Dude, there are some weird dudes here, they're lookin' at me funny, man...
KD: They always look at the fresh meat, you might need a diversion
Coolio: Well, lookie here, Hey Paul, Hey Michael, welcome to Newbie Land...Make the wall your friend dudes
SOME HAVE IT WRAPPED UP
Ken-Dogger: Hey Poncho, why the look?
Poncho: Are you going back? Are you getting back on that saddle?
KD: Whatever are you talkin’ ‘bout?
P: Dude, your gym, those weights are screamin’ for activity.
KD: I worked out a couple of times last week, was doing other stuff.
P: The question remains…Back on the saddle?
KD: Geez, you’re persistent…
Yes, I’ll get there tomorrow, you just watch.
P: I will, I don’t need it…I got ‘cute’ all wrapped up.
Morning Peeps,
STILL FIGURING IT OUT
Ken-Dogger: Morning Gru, in a book already?
Gru: Yep, looking up warranty, need to know my rights.
KD: Your rights? What are you worried about?
G: Love, actually…I want guarantees, I don’t want promises.
KD: Well, I’m warranting you, you’ll get the love.
G: Is that a guarantee or a promise?
KD: I promise you are guaranteed love, at all times.
G: You just say that cause I’m cute.
KD: No, I say it because I finally figured out what love is.
GIVING SHELTER FROM THE STORM
Peck: She looked at me and I knew.
Heck: What is he talkin' 'bout now?
Peck: Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved, Everything up to that point had been left unresolved...Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
Heck: "Come in, I'll give you shelter from the storm"
(homage to Mr. Dylan)
ASSESSING RISKS
Ken-Dogger: Morning Dano, what up?
Dano: Wondering if it’s safe to venture more outside.
KD: Lot of things risky now, but I’m here…I’ll help you.
D: I hear airplane travel is safer than peeps think.
KD: Due to the air filtration already in place?
D: Yep, and keeping a distance between, and oh yeah, wearing a mask.
KD: You flying?
D: Not until we have more peeps pulling together in unison, I’ll take a risk, but I ain’t crazy.
KD: Yes, when chances are less risky.
IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT COORDINATING THE HELP
Morning Shapers and Coordinators,
Ken-Dogger: What’s up Brad?
Brad: Hey Bro, I’m turning this into a ball.
KD: Good Luck
B: Come on Dogger, where’s your faith? It’s just shaping behavior.
KD: And you’re trying to reshape it on your own. You’re gonna need shaping skills and some coordinated help to get it done.
B: I got the skills, just need to coordinate the help.
KD: Don’t we all Brad, don’t we all…

Tootie: We’re coordinated…we’re in for the long run.
KD: You’re the Witches of Eastwick, that’s what you are.
Rootie: Naw Dude, we read that the more coordinated you are, the more you’ll get through the RONA.

F: You’re calling us silly, you’re the ones who need the coordination.
More than liking, I'm loving the 70s
Morning Ageless Wonders,

Cleo: Dude, watchin’ you move, I wanna see what 72 looks like.
KD: It looks good, a step slower, but still good.

WHEN LOYALTY IS A COMMODITY
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Topper
Topper: Money, Money, Money…M-O-N-E-Y…
KD: You got to have it huh…
T: I do…The World goes round; money goes with it.
KD: If you want something to happen, follow the money.
T: That’s how we got loyalty in the first place, we bought it.
KD: Turns out when loyalty is a commodity, it goes to the highest bidder.
T: Seems the only way to win is to keep bidding then huh?
KD: It would appear so Topper…

Guys: NOOOOO, we don’t want half, we want all…

Guys: Only way we get all?
