And so it was, RC the Gremlin / Storyteller impromptu visit to the Cat & Cloud led to … a DING!! and then an “Uber me” ! He was certain he “cracked the code” and has the solution to the Scone challenge.

Previously…

Let’s follow along to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT… —The Gang

FADE IN:

EXT. PARKING LOT OFF DELAWARE

Kimba looks around.

KIMBA
This is … my drop-off spot for folks wanting to go to WESTSIDE BERDYL’s or the CLAY place or SIP & PAINT… their WESTSIDE Wednesday is quite popular.

Drop off spot for…

KIMBA
Which reminds me… Hand me my satchel… the SLABBY please.

RC reaches into Kimba’s SATCHEL-PAK and produces the iPAD.

Popping it open, she presses, swipes and then…

KIMBA
Voilà !

Another creation…

KIMBA
Total mockup based on a screen grab… thus the gray…

She pauses.

KIMBA
StickerMule magic… Pearson Arrow Westside…

Swiping to another picture.

“WB” inspired…

KIMBA
Also “all-in” on the West Side promo…

RC THE GREMLIN
Yeah, but your YOSH !! is cooler… More energizing.

More energizing…

KIMBA
Aww… Thank you … Just figured if we get a critical mass of Westside pushes… what’s that saying… raising all boats?

RC THE GREMLIN
JFK… I think I heard that…

Kimba pulls out her phone and before she can complete the sentence, the phone has displayed results.

KIMBA
Can confirm!

Can confirm…

And so it was that Kimba and RC were so deep into their back-and-forth, they didn’t notice the parking lot emptying until a screech of tires made them look up.

RC THE GREMLIN
What time is it?

RC is fumbling for his phone while Kimba holds out her wrist.

KIMBA
3:05 (three oh five)!!

RC THE GREMLIN
Aww !! Blew it today… They’re closed.

KIMBA
Oh… we were supposed to be scouting this something… er… somewhere on this side of the street?

Laughing as he responds.

RC THE GREMLIN
Yeah… Westside… This Side… Not well signed or anything but just a little further back is… a SCONE HOME you have-ta check out.

…a SCONE HOME you have-ta check out…

KIMBA
Really?? Scones here?? An industrial park??

RC THE GREMLIN
A find on one of my trail-abouts with Mr Squeek.

KIMBA
Trail-a- what?

RC THE GREMLIN
He leads. I follow. Exploring… around all over town…

KIMBA
Yikes! Don’t do that to me…!

RC THE GREMLIN
Sorry… just came out. May I…?

He motions for the SLABBY…

RC THE GREMLIN
Wait… Cellular plan?

KIMBA
Uh… no… WIFI only…

RC THE GREMLIN
Okay… let me help by…

Pointing to the phone, she obliges. He taps away and hands it back.

KIMBA
IVETA?

Iveta Westside…

RC THE GREMLIN
Bookmarked — See? I renamed to SCONE-IVETA… Work?

KIMBA
Oh yeah! Thanks!! Looking forward to checking it out.

A buzzing sound gets their attention and they both look skyward. RC waves. She gives him a curious look.

RC THE GREMLIN
Stay tuned, my friend… Lot’s going on …

Jumps out of the KIMBA Mobile.

RC THE GREMLIN
I’ve got some stops, so …

KIMBA
Catch up… sooner than later, eh?

RC THE GREMLIN
Most definitely. I know where you work AND you hang…

He laughs waving his RAZR while bounding down the street.

FADE OUT.

Stay tuned…

That’s a Wrap… !

We hit another good stopping point with lots of “movement” :

What’s in the sky??
What’s inside IVETA WESTSIDE??

Again, we encourage you to stay tuned to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT…

Thanks for hanging with us! -The Gang

There’s More…!!

Back of shirt…

Front of shirt…

This is one of Kimba’s finds at Pearson Arrow. Cool, eh?

The post DISH-PATCH (048b): Pt2 – Kimba’s Scone-Scapedes… appeared first on Jedemi.

And so it was that one day RC the Gremlin / Storyteller found himself on Swift Street wandering (physically and mentally), when he suddenly stopped.

Then he reversed direction and hustled back to CAT & CLOUD Westside.

Westside!!

A huge smile (ear-to-ear) combined with an added bounce in his step would have been noticeable to anyone truly paying attention.

In this case, it was RC who was jumping up and down after tapping on the window, and then doing a spin-a-rama dance, and then tapping some more until finally, the person on the other side, none other than Happy Barista / Uber Driver KIMBA looked up.
Now she’s smiling ear-to-ear and waves him inside.

Let’s follow along to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT… —The Gang

FADE IN:

INT. CAT & CLOUD

RC bounds in the door and hops up on the stool that Kimba cleared for him by moving her SATCHEL-PAK.

KIMBA
Yeah… I should always use the …

She points to the under counter hook.

RC THE GREMLIN
Uh… yeah… but… I gotta know… What’s got you this fine day?

He eyes her SLABBY THING (AKA iPAD).

RC THE GREMLIN
More awesome designs! Show me. Show me.

He’s jumped off the stool to do another version of the happy dance he did outside the window, when she motions him to “chill.”

KIMBA
Settle down… Remember… (A) I work here; and (B) I’ve been trying to keep a low profile when APRON’s off.

RC THE GREMLIN
Right… Whatever you say Ninja Sis !

KIMBA
Ninja? How’d you…?

She pulls out of her pocket an iPhone and shows it to RC.

Kimba’s manga…

KIMBA
Shinobi equals Ninja equals my present read…

Defined…

She laughs.

KIMBA
Good for downtime reading…

RC THE GREMLIN
Like when you are doing your Uber side hustle?

KIMBA
Yes and like when I’m driving Auntie for her medical appointments. This is my newest read — but Dr Slump is my go-to.

She quickly brings it up on her phone and swipes.

Dr Slump…

Kimba’s Go-to…

RC THE GREMLIN
Ah… This is the robot girl from the DragonBall guy?

KIMBA
Yeah! Great manga. Lousy name though. I can’t get anyone excited about DR SLUMP…

RC THE GREMLIN
How did you…?

KIMBA
It was one of those suggestions after I loaded the Shonen Jump app. Probably because Dragon Ball WAS my go to… On everything… Here and in print.

RC THE GREMLIN
And… Katie’s LayFlat?

KIMBA
Yeah… I saw that but was given TEZUKA’s Jungle Emperor Leo which is SOOOOOOO Good!

Kimba’s Pak…

KIMBA
Love the reading right-to-left. Great for the brain !!

RC THE GREMLIN
Gotcha… But we digress… Let’s circle back as I’m way curious.

He points to the SLABBY THING.

RC THE GREMLIN
What was the non-MANGA on your screen? It REALLY looked like it had its hooks into you.

KIMBA
Hooks?

RC THE GREMLIN
Oh… Sorry… Wrong audience. That’s for the Boys in the Shed.

KIMBA
Boys in the Shed??

RC THE GREMLIN
Promise to catch you up, but first… What …?

Before he completed his question, Kimba shows him the screen.

KIMBA
This…

A variety of mixes…

KIMBA
But started with this… Which ties to Auntie. I was helping her put away some stuff… like seasonal rotation in the pantry when I saw a box with this…

A kit…

She taps the screen showing the Scone Baking Pan.

KIMBA
There was a mix too. Read the back… and memorized … KING ARTHUR. When I got here and tried to focus on …

Motioning like she’s drawing on the Slabby Thing.

KIMBA
Found I couldn’t let go of what I saw… Scones @Home with a ready mix…

Tapping some more she shows the ingredients / instructions.

How to…

RC studies… Scrunching his face, which she notices.

KIMBA
Yeah… You seeing what I’m seeing? Initially I was super stoked but cold butter pats…

RC THE GREMLIN
A little more complex than those just add water JIFFY CORN MUFFINs.

Kimba pauses to ponder.

KIMBA
Isn’t there an egg? I swear there’s a…

RC THE GREMLIN
Okay… I was just being facetious… and/or FLIP…

KIMBA
Or maybe… spending too much time staring down the Betty Crocker in the baking aisle at Safeway…

RC THE GREMLIN
Speaking of Safeway… It all comes back to me now… You staring at King Arthur scone mixes… Are you still solving for…?

Are you still solving for…?

KIMBA
Yup and I then, as I said, I found the scone pan and mix in the pantry. Got me thinking.

RC THE GREMLIN
Think no more my friend. I owe you a…

He stops and motions to her to pack up.

KIMBA
Huh?

RC THE GREMLIN
Got some time right now? If we…

Looks at his phone.

KIMBA
Huh?

RC THE GREMLIN
They should be still open and maybe we’ll get lucky. Come on! Uber me!!

KIMBA
Good stopping point so … Okay. Lead on!

FADE OUT.

That’s a Wrap… !

We agree that this IS a good stopping point, so we’re splitting this DISH-PATCH into two posts.

The post DISH-PATCH (048): Kimba’s Scone-Scapedes… appeared first on Jedemi.

We interrupt this series of DISHPATCH posts to bring you some Yosh!! -ness.

Why?

Well, it HAS been a while since we’ve done a Yosh ! post (April? Really?!?)

Yup!

We’ve been very busy with the adventures of the JEDEMI LP GANG as they temporarily relocated “over the hill” to former Suit, KATIE’s Westside abode / ‘hood.

Then a couple of things happened which triggered a…

Ding! Happens…

…followed by a “sure, why not?”

When Katie was handed her iPhone to do a FACETIME with her husband, GEAR GUY — a “Go means Go!!” throw down challenge was presented.

A gift?

Perhaps. You be the judge.

What we DO know is that Gear Guy cleverly came up with a re-direct as he has taken off on an impromptu adventure to meetup with / help out some friends.

Please to enjoy!! —The Gang

Note: We introduced “Yosh” in the post.

The Japanese word “Yosh” is used in manga to convey, “Alright, let’s go!” Or as they say in Katie’s household: “Go means go!”

Above is a short clip that says what we’re saying (and demonstrating): For sure, “yosh” is spontaneous and energetic—a verbal burst of enthusiasm or resolve. We believe if you embrace the DragonBustR Way and it becomes a Way of Life (interwoven), you may find yourself bursting with enthusiasm and resolve.

Now on with the story!

EXT. KATIE’S WESTSIDE HOUSE

Former Suit KATIE has been handed her iPhone by RC the Gremlin / Storyteller (who is kinda running block for his pals (see DISH-PATCH (046)).

GEAR GUY
Did I catch you at a bad time…

KATIE
No… I’m good. Just got back. Ready to get my snack on.

GEAR GUY
Ah! Well I’m putting a TIGER IN MY TANK and then grabbing some ice…

KATIE
Yes, and…?

GEAR GUY
AND…

He studies her face.

GEAR GUY
Tell you what… I see that look. Go eat something and then I’ll ring back and catch you up…

KATIE
Another impromptu adventure, my Guy?

GEAR GUY
You could say that…

Then the sound of FACETIME hanging up occurs.

Katie is smiling and shaking her head.

KATIE
What’s that boy up to this time?

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. KATIE’S KITCHEN

As she moves to turn on the convection oven, she literally bumps into pal RC the GREMLIN.

RC THE GREMLIN
Here you go, my lady!

He hands her a wrap and a steaming cup of spurs (AKA hot water)

RC THE GREMLIN
Just a warm-up, so to speak. Got some high octane in prOcess.

He points to the coffee maker.

KATIE
Smells good!

RC THE GREMLIN
The beans… it’s the beans !!

Laughing, he leaves her after retrieving the iPhone from the counter where Katie set it down.

RC THE GREMLIN
Let’s give it a boost before he rings back…

KATIE
Thanks!

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. KATIE’S KITCHEN

Katie, having finished her snack and catching up with headlines from THE ATHLETIC on her iPad, is nudged by RC.

RC THE GREMLIN
It’s for you.

He winks and takes away her empty dish while handing her a TRIGGER MUG of fresh(ness) .

Trigger Mug…

RC THE GREMLIN
I got this. You…

As Katie answers and Gear Guy notices .

GEAR GUY
I can smell that from here… Nice!

Katie takes a sip and nods. Then she cuts to the chase (as she often does).

KATIE
So, my Guy…. You were saying … impromptu adventure… Please to share!

GEAR GUY
Glad you are energized and ready because this particular adventure involves you.

She gives him a look.

GEAR GUY
First I need you to go down to the lower metro shelving unit where we keep the rice… behind the couch.

She hesitates.

GEAR GUY
Come on now…

He’s walking around the Costco parking lot while talking to Katie.

GEAR GUY
Look down. See those round plastic containers. Please grab one.

Plastic container…

KATIE
Lid too?

GEAR GUY
Nah…. Okay… Now proceed to that metro unit behind the TV where all those beans are nicely contained…

Wall of Cambros…

KATIE
Our wall of cambros and… Why are there plastic bags? Look at…

GEAR GUY
Settle down you… This will help us whittle down the stock…

KATIE
Huh?

She is scanning the number of containers and doing mental calculations.

GEAR GUY
Burning daylight on my end. Shall we continue?

KATIE
Uh… Yeah… Sure…

GEAR GUY
Only take that red container to the kitchen with you, okay?

KATIE
Gotta put you down to…

Special blend…

Katie takes it off the shelf and balances the round cambro on top of it. Then she retrieves the phone…

GEAR GUY
Let’s get you to the kitchen. Don’t drop me.

Moving cautiously back into the kitchen, Katie places the containers on the counter, and then props the phone up so both hands are available.

KATIE
Assuming I need two hands for this part, yes?

Gear Guy nods and motions across the kitchen.

GEAR GUY
Please to grab a silver bowl… medium size from the cabinet and the scale… MY scale.

He waits as Katie moves through the kitchen off camera.

GEAR GUY
Got ‘em? Cool. Now put the bowl on the scale and hit TARE… the ON/OFF … until it zeros out.

Katie does as told.

GEAR GUY
Let’s measure ya out some beans… like 300 grams of ‘em.

The sound of sliding beans can be heard, which gets RC’s attention.

RC THE GREMLIN
What’s that girl up to?

KATIE
Woo hoo! Exact-a-mundo !! Now what?

GEAR GUY
I know you’ve been keeping a stash of my silver trays in the oven. Please grab one and set it on the counter.

KATIE
Gotcha!

GEAR GUY
Okay eagle eyes… Now you sort and dump… er… dump and sort…

KATIE
Say what?

GEAR GUY
Gotta make sure there are no rocks or rogues… If you need to, put your ear buds in and “Go for the Flo” you so enjoy.

Katie nods.

GEAR GUY
I’m going to get going. Call you from the truck.

Katie gets started and then feels a nudge. She turns and smiles as RC hands her the ear buds.

RC THE GREMLIN
Let’s get this party started!

[Black-eyed Peas SONG]

Enchanted Jukebox to ear bud…

DISSOLVE TO:
About ten to fifteen minutes later, the phone rings – FACETIME w/o the face.

GEAR GUY
Audio only the rest of the way. Did you sort the beans — making sure there were no rogues… no stones …

KATIE
No badness… Yeah I did…

GEAR GUY
Alright… Now… put them in that white container and cover with water to…

KATIE
Ah… We’re soaking… Got it.

GEAR GUY
I’ll be back for the next part…

KATIE
That INSTA-POT thing?

Insta Pot thing…?

GEAR GUY
I promised you fresh beans this week. Remembered it after I hit the road, so…

KATIE
Base. Is. Covered. Gotcha!

There’s a slight pause.

KATIE
Okay, my Guy… Enlighten me as to…

GEAR GUY
Got STATE PARK PASS, will travel…

Katie glances over to where the PASS is kept (magneted to the condiment fridge).

GEAR GUY
Retired friend booked himself a campsite… and I’m … well… it could be bad… so I figured…

KATIE
Save the day AND some catch up time AND… did you empty the freezer?

…did you empty the freezer?

GEAR GUY
A little… Won’t starve or anything.

KATIE
Coolio. Got it. Beans a soakin’ and…

GEAR GUY
How are the guests?

Before she can answer, he pipes up again.

GEAR GUY
Whoops! Hanging up now.

KATIE
Drive first! Check in later.

The connection drops. Katie shakes her head and looks over at RC.

KATIE
That’s my Guy…

RC THE GREMLIN
Yes, and… These are a couple of your house guests. Managed to tear Dossie away from the KINDLE to observe your prOcess…

KATIE
Kindle… Manga? Kong Ming??

DOSSIE
No… a detective yarn… the …

KATIE
DENTIST! Just got it. You like…?

Dossie’s read…

DOSSIE
So far…

Just then the swoop sound [SUP-DUP-A-ZUP] can be heard from outside the kitchen window as the JOBY DRONE approaches.

Sup-Dup-a-Zup…

FRANNIE
Ready to Go?

At the same time KATIE and DOSSIE reply:

KATIE
Who me?

DOSSIE
Who me?

RC THE GREMLIN
Lady Katie, you’re with me… another adventure…

RC THE GREMLIN
And YOU ladies… I personally checked out where you’re going… Expecting a full review when you get back, yes?

…Expecting a full review when you get back, yes?

FRANNIE
Review?

DOSSIE
Maybe… a movie…?

They SUP-DUP-A-ZUP away and RC faces Katie.

RC THE GREMLIN
Well, lady… What did you learn this day?

KATIE
Maybe… the the bean prOcess is actually… at least, so far… not immensely complicated IF… you focus on the individual steps as you work towards to goal of…

Katie pulls out her phone and shows RC the end game.

End game…

KATIE
He usually makes the magic happen but… I could… maybe if…

RC THE GREMLIN
Execute the various steps with confidence… Yeah I can see you doing beans in a pinch… like if you had a bean emergency or something like that…

She’s pacing about.

KATIE
Key word: confidence. Like playing golf or…

RC THE GREMLIN
Snapping out those weekly loaf of OATMEAL STOUT bread… You got that down.

Katie scans the kitchen and spies the directions from her SOURDOUGH BREAD WORKSHOP.

KATIE
I forgot. Need to feed my starter.

Feeding Session…

She races off to get the starter from the beer fridge and RC is laughing.

RC THE GREMLIN
Ya know… Speaking of confidence. You really ought to …

KATIE
I know. I know… See that LAY-FLAT?

RC THE GREMLIN
All I see is that it’s on the same page… has been for weeks.

Same page for weeks…

RC THE GREMLIN
When are you…?

KATIE
Soon…

RC THE GREMLIN
Uh huh… I believe you… NOT!!

FADE OUT.

Pencils down…

That’s a Wrap!

And that’s how Katie got a jump start… a move towards building up her confidence to take on some more kitchen adventures.
Hope you enjoyed this YOSH! break. Now we’ll return you to your regularly scheduled DISH-PATCHes.

Thanks for hanging out with us!

Don’t forget to Yosh! yourself! It’s fun. It’s energizing. It makes you smile. And…

The post Yosh ! 17: Cool Beans – How You Do It… appeared first on Jedemi.

It didn’t take long for WONDER/WANDER (WANDER/WONDER) Kat, Mr Squeek to circle back to MEREDITH’s house (home of Happy Puppy KEE-RA). In fact, he was just settling in –hitching a ride on the 17 EXPRESS, when he came upon something that compelled him to hop off and hitch his way back to Kee-Ra’s hood.

In almost a repeat from before, except this was in the backyard, Kee-Ra hears the words “INCOMING!”.

Previously…

He instinctively reaches up and catches the RAZR. Let’s follow along to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT… —The Gang

FADE IN:
EXT. MEREDITH’S HOUSE

KEE-RA
Battery run down already?

MR SQUEEK
Open it! Take a look!

OMG! So busted…!!

KEE-RA
OMG! So busted…!!

MR SQUEEK
Busted?! Wait… What…? Mind telling me what the heck is going on…?

Then he focuses his attention on the RAZR’s screen and sees it is on a web page NOT the text message photos he’d been swiping through earlier.

Blurting out loud what he was thinking catches Mr Squeek’s ears.

KEE-RA
Ah! That’s a relief!

MR SQUEEK
What the…? Relief you said?

KEE-RA
Let me… Oh… Wow… Is RC…? Really…?

What Kee-Ra is shown is a post that has “RC’s looping Visual Ear-Worm that somehow is drawing a connection between the infamous Grumpy Kat and Mr Squeek.

The tie-in…

Clearly Squeek is not amused (or is he?)…

KEE-RA
Let me read… but I think I get it… Let’s see how things play out as … these creations, I believe are in the hands of my human and Happy Barista / Uber Driver KIMBA and I’m sure they are working with my trail pal, former Suit KATIE…

Mr Squeek does the swipe thing with the RAZR and then hands it to Kee-Ra.

MR SQUEEK
Swipe away! See for yourself…

Kee-Ra tries his best to make like he’s never seen the images before and somehow is working the RAZR while studying Mr Squeek’s reaction.

Kee-Ra reacts…

KEE-RA
For what its worth… I like the KOKO !! you…

KEE-RA
The colours are great too and from my understanding watching Mama… there’s something to be said about… collections and also …limited editions… buzz generators… and … what’s cool about the YOSH!! and the KOKO!! … the messages are cool: Let’s Go!! and Keep On Keepin’ On…

Mr Squeek gets quiet.

KEE-RA
You’re not channeling your inner GRUMPY right now, are you?

Meet Grumpy…

MR SQUEEK
Actually, pondering logistics… Based on this and O-M-G like how many messages DID that silly RC send?

KEE-RA
Unlimited Text plan… the best…!

MR SQUEEK
I owe the dude a meet-up and he’s… Where exactly?

KEE-RA
Just text him. Probably with the Gang in Gear Guy’s shed OR… maybe…

MR SQUEEK
Yeah… Cool… I’m out… (pause) Did I thank you for the charge…?

KEE-RA
Yeah … All good. Drop in again sometime…

Mr Squeek hops the fence and …

KEE-RA
And he’s gone… Oh well… See-ya when I see-ya…!

And he’s gone…

Addressing the disappeared Mr Squeek, Kee-Ra then stretches and as he’s about to head back inside, his ‘ASTRO BOY EARS’ pickup:

MR SQUEEK
Not if I see-ya first… !

Followed by…

KEE-RA
KOKO!!

FADE OUT.

That’s a Wrap… !

Interesting, right? The wheels are definitely in motion with Happy Barista KIMBA teaming up with Suit-in-Transition, MEREDITH to get distribution figured out.

Say what? Shopify-My-Magnets is a good name for this particular prOject.

The post DISH-PATCH (047): Squeek’s Wait What Moment… appeared first on Jedemi.

With the Chicago White Sox battling their way into the Post Season after suffering multiple 100 loss seasons (with 2024 matching the record for the MOST losses), it is with much joy we bring you a WowMe that’s been on Mr Pete’s mind since… August.

11 August 2026 Pope Night…

Indeed, the Chicago White Sox hosted a viral “Pope Night” promotionn on August 11, 2026, at Rate Field (Guaranteed Rate Field) against the Cincinnati Reds, giving away nearly 40,000 White Sox-branded papal miter hats to honor their most famous fan, Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV (Robert Francis Prevost).

Without further ado, please enjoy Mr Pete’s timely WowMe: AND SO UNTO YOU…
Enjoy!! —the editor

[Note: Eagles are standing by hoping for a bit of divine inspiration as they face some hungry RAMs without key players.]

“Well the Southside of Chicago
Is the baddest part of Town

And if you go down there
You better best beware
Of a man named —

Robert Francis Prevost AKA Pope Leo XVI

[Yup! Bad, Bad Leroy Brown with some tweeks. – the editor]

It all started back in May of last year…

DATELINE: May 8th 2025
LOCATION: Sistine Chapel/Vatican
EVENT: On the second day of the Conclave, with the fourth ballot, White Smoke emerged from this Hallowed Ground and the WORLD CELEBRATED!

WE HAVE A NEW POPE !

And then the details were unveiled:

• FIRST American-born POPE
• BORN in Chicago
• GRANDSON of Italy Immigrants
• FAN of the Blues Brothers
  and also…
• a Chicago White Sox FAN



Fast Forward [>>>]…

DATELINE: Winter of 2025

LOCATION: Public Relations Office CHICAGO WHITE SOXS

EVENT: Planning “Pope Day” for 2026 season

… The promotions team felt the Pope connection was, dare we say, “heavenly’?

Q: The POPE is a busy person, How can we request his presence? 


A: [DING!!] We’ll have a life-size cutout, FANS can pose with it and have their pictures taken.



Q: What kind of promotional items will we be offering to celebrate this event?


A: [DING!!] How about a special “POPE Hat” and a “SOUTHSIDE Baseball Jersey”?

Promos for Pope…

Q: AND WHAT ELSE???
A: HOW about a “SIGN OF PEACE”?

Note: offering a sign of peace was one of my late mom’s favorite parts of celebrating Mass.

Sure!!

Sign of Peace…

Fast Forward some more [>>>]…

Pope Pens a Letter…

It Reads as Follows…

“As I have noted, sport can truly become a school of life, where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together…

“…In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity among people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.

“With these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty’s abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.”

What the pontiff wrote to White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.

That’s a Wrap…

That promotion filled my Facebook feed in August. Here we are, the start of October filled with [YOUR WORDS HERE].

For me: JOY! HOPE!!
For the editor: WONDERMENT !!

It didn’t require a miracle to get the Southside team to boldly end up AHEAD of their Northside cousins (though one day, a miracle MAY provide an ALL-CHICAGO World Series).

Kindred spirits unified and energized combined with what every team seeks this time of year: Good Health.

The only thing for certain WE can control is how we play the game AND how we treat each other.

As Pope Leo XIV said, Let’s focus on fostering bonds of friendship and solidarity. Let’s bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.

That, my friends, is a noble mission. A win is taking care of each other and truly that’s all that really matters.

Peace be with you! — Mr Pete

KOKO!! — the Editor

The post WowMe: Southside Pope, White Sox Hope… appeared first on Jedemi.

The beauty of participating in the world of Jedemi is that everyone (Lost Pins, former Suit KATIE, RC and pals) has bought into the Flex-n-Flo way of life.

Meant to be…

So it seemed natural that past collaborators, Frannie & Frankie were indeed back again — working together to kinda keep things going (flowing). We pick up the action with them embarking on a mission from T the Inventor.

Let’s listen in to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT… —The Gang

It just so happened that while LP GANG members FRANKIE and FRANNIE were making their way back to former Suit KATIE’s house and specifically the LAB/WORKOUT area from the SHED, “Johnny on the Spot” RC the GREMLIN was watching.

Indoor bike with Manga on the side…

Having made his rounds (ALL OVER TOWN), he shook his head as he recognized the items they both were carrying.

RC THE GREMLIN
Humm… Observe or Intervene…?

Before he could finish that thought, his ears perked.

RC THE GREMLIN
She’s back… And they’re… Okay… Decision made.

And with that, RC races to the stoop to intercept Katie while Frannie and Frankie put back the iPhone and the IPPO manga.

Lay Flat Manga…

However, he skids to a stop when his ears picked up the ringtone of a FACETIME pinging all Katie’s devices. He calls out to her.

RC THE GREMLIN
No worries, Katie! Stay right there. I’ll grab it… Gear Guy’s the one who FACETIMEs you, right?

Lickety-split, RC slips in and removes the iPhone from the charger and dashes back to Katie.

RC THE GREMLIN
It just stopped. You can catch him. Go ahead…

And with that, Ms Katie hung out on the stoop chatting with her husband, Gear Guy while RC went back inside to find out what his pals were up to.

DISSOLVE TO:
INT. KATIE’S WESTSIDE HOUSE

It was relatively quiet. His ears weren’t picking up any indication of where in the house they might be.

RC THE GREMLIN
Guess…

Then he hears it.

RC THE GREMLIN
In the Lab… Now what…?

Quietly he enters to observe FRANNIE & FRANKIE are side-by-side reading a LAY-FLAT manga that is near the exercise bike.

RC THE GREMLIN
Interesting… I believe that’s the manga edition of the TEZUKA biography… She split it into several volumes as it is HUGE!

Tezuka Manga Bio…

Moving a bit closer, he catches a glimpse of the page.

RC THE GREMLIN
Ah! That’s…

RC THE GREMLIN
It’s the part that delves into MUSHI PRO productions and specifically… how Astro Boy moved from print-to-screen.
He observes as Frankie pulls out his RAZR and starts snapping pictures.

Mushi on a Mission…

RC THE GREMLIN
Okay… here goes…

Looking around, he borrows a Frankie trick and knocks to the floor some items from a nearby rack.

Frankie and Frannie look at each other.

FRANNIE
Busted !

FRANKIE
Busted !!

FRANNIE
Oh well… Let’s face the music…

Turning around, they are relieved to see…

Their Pal, RC…

FRANKIE
Ah! It’s just you…

FRANNIE
Howdy, JUST YOU… Been watching us long?

RC THE GREMLIN
Who me?

FRANNIE
We lost track of time…

FRANKIE
You know how that goes… Time flies when you’re…

RC THE GREMLIN
Yes, and… Your inventor pal? He’s…

FRANKIE
WAS napping, but I guess I better…

He motions towards the shed and takes off holding the RAZR in the air.

RazR…

FRANNIE
He’s got some reading and I… er rather we have a task, a mission from…

RC THE GREMLIN
Et tu with the BLUES BROTHERs references.

Frannie shakes her head.

FRANNIE
I guess I’ve now been adopted into the MI ENABLER CLUB…
Maybe you can help us with our latest assignment.

Just then they both pause as they hear Katie entering the house and moving about the kitchen.

RC THE GREMLIN
Shall we…?

FRANNIE
Surely…!!

FADE OUT.

That’s a Wrap… !

Yeah… stopping now because it just keeps getting MORE and MORE interesting. Ms Katie is in the kitchen NOT doing normal Katie things, apparently. That Facetime Call sent her on a Mission.

Gear Guy’s magic “Pot”…

Got you curious, right?

Thought so.

The post DISH-PATCH (046): Frannie & Frankie Together Again… appeared first on Jedemi.

And so it was that LP FRANNIE abandons both her buddy DOSSIE and her project (How the MINI SLABBY DOES MANGA…) to see/experience for herself what the MAD INVENTOR (MI) TOMMIE and OG LP, FRANKIE are up to…

Missed it? See here…

Let’s listen in to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT… —The Gang

FADE IN:

INT. GEAR GUY’S SHED

It didn’t take long for Tommie to settle into his experiment. This particular one leveraged the THUNK item AND the item he had Frankie retrieve (LAY-FLAT IPPO MANGA).

FRANKIE is now playing the role of lab assistant and documentarian.

FRANKIE
So T, that’s what THUNKED? An iPhone??

Tommie nods, but stays locked in leaving Frankie to figure out for himself what’s going on.

FRANKIE
Well… Somehow it passed the drop test because… Look at him go!

While sort of mesmerized and also capturing images using his RAZR, his attention shifts in the direction of the doorway as the Shed has become awash in light yet there’s no sound.

Frankie kicks into gear.

FRANKIE
Huh? Boy home? Thought he was…

Frankie starts darting around in an attempt to conceal Tommie’s various activities.

FRANKIE
We’re so busted…

The flurry of activity stops when a calming voice is heard.

…Slow down, buddy… It’s me… Just curious me…

FRANNIE
Slow down, buddy… It’s me… Just curious me…

Frankie stops in his tracks and a smile crosses his face.

FRANKIE
Whew! That’s comforting. I really didn’t want to break his train of…

FRANNIE
Concentration? Gotcha!

They both look over to see what he’s doing, when suddenly Tommie looks up.

FRANKIE
Whoops!

FRANNIE
Whoops! So much for that!

Tommie motions them both to come over and he hands the iPhone to Frannie and with a series of pantomimed gestures, directs her while he points to Frankie to capture the activity using the RAZR.

Within seconds, there’s a universal “AHA!”

Snap: iPhone hovering over manga page
Snap: iPhone screen showing manga page NOW with the speech bubbles in English.
Snap: Pressing ‘X’ on iPhone holds the screen so you can more easily read those speech bubbles.

Taking in what they’ve witnessed, Frankie and Frannie look at each other and then over at Tommie who’s grinning and nodding.

FRANKIE
Wow!

FRANNIE
Wow!

Wow !!

They do a few more pages to get used to it…

This is pretty cool…

FRANKIE
This is pretty cool…

FRANNIE
Opens up a lot of possibilities. How…?

FRANKIE
An App… Translate app… He must have read about it… Right, T?

Looking in the direction of where Tommie was standing, they notice he vanished.

FRANNIE
Where’d he…?

FRANKIE
Napping… Probably… He disappears from time to time… for quick little…

Just then flickering light can be seen from another area in the Shed, so they move to investigate.

FRANKIE
Looks like Tommie’s giving you the tour.

Indeed, Tommie has removed the sheet covering the PLAYSTATION setup.

Up Close…

FRANNIE
Wow!

FRANKIE
Can you believe? Abandoned in a box, he just resuscitated it. Just needs orange power cord run from the house and then…
Before Frankie completes his sentence, Tommie who had momentarily disappeared, returns with the LITTLE 8849 PROJECTOR box.

Projector 8849 [AKA Magic 3by3]…

FRANNIE
What’s he…?

FRANKIE
Looks like another retrieval mission, right T?

The Next Mission…

And again, Tommie persistently motions towards the house, removing the RAZR from Frankie’s hands and giving it to Frannie. Then he motions to SWIPE.

FRANNIE
Okay…

What Frannie sees is a series of pictures -Surveillance style. Frankie joins her to study and interpret.

FRANKIE
Ah! Interesting… Totally makes sense…

Frankie points to the 8849.

FRANKIE
We’ve been using various mobile devices to feed video into the 8849 to project — potentially– on the side of this SHED and eventually over on FAIR, where MR SQUEEK (Wonder/ Wander, Wander/Wonder kat) does his break dancing routine.

FRANNIE
Uh… Okay…

FRANKIE
This needs USB-C 3 point O… The devices here won’t play and we even tried with the SLABBY THING… Not ideal.

FRANNIE
So he wants…?

FRANKIE
From the looks of it… That’s a NEO… and its up in KATIE’s office.

He wants the NEO…

FRANNIE
So we’re retrieving the NEO?

FRANKIE
Yes and… putting back the iPhone before Ms Katie looks for it.

FRANNIE
Back on the charger. Which I guess means.

Motioning to the IPPO manga.

Lay Flat Manga…

FRANKIE
Yup. Experiment done. Pictures taken. Gotta return that too.

She turns to Tommie or at least where she last saw Tommie.

FRANKIE
NOW for sure he’s napping. No more to show today UNLESS…

FRANNIE
Well… I want to see if the 8849 plays nicely with the NEO.

FRANKIE
Let’s …

FRANNIE
Andale!

FADE OUT.

Stay tuned…

TO. BE. CONTINUED…

That’s a Wrap…

And so it was that Frankie/Frannie became tag-team partners (AGAIN!)…

FRANNIE
Like old times…!

FRANKIE
Right??

Indeed! And while they are tag-teaming to help T with his various prOjects, the others are off on their own adventures:

• Dossie – Reading the Kindle detective story (and more!)
• Joey – Reading his way through Katie’s house (the Tezuka MANGA-style biography caught his eye).
• Doc – Playing at Seymour Marine Lab
• Zup – Joby Droning around being the air-born UBER

Tezuka Manga Bio…

Which leaves us with, the lady of the house…

What about KATIE?

Please stay tuned to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT…

The post DISH-PATCH (045): Foray Follow-up… appeared first on Jedemi.

What could it be now?

Frankie’s mission collides with Frannie on a mission of her own.

Let’s listen in to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT… —The Gang

FADE IN:

INT. KATIE’S WESTSIDE HOUSE

And so it was that FRANKIE found his way, per MI TOMMIE’s direction, to the workout area / lab of former Suit KATIE’s house on a hunt for…

Katie’s indoor exercise zone…

FRANKIE
Let’s see… He said… It was gonna be…

Quietly, or so he thought, Frankie tiptoes around the house stopping occasionally to look at the RAZR phone.

It just so happened that one of the ladies (FRANNIE) had also taken to exploring the house AND she ALSO so happened to be in that workout / lab area.

FRANNIE
Gotta find… Katie’s reading MANGA on… was it… a MINI SLABBY? RC retrieved it from Doc… from the SHED, so it should be…

And sure enough, Frannie locates the iPad MINI on the charger.

Manga-On-Mini…

FRANNIE
Let’s see how to turn this baby on…

mini-Slabby on Standby…

As she’s studying it, ever so quietly, in comes Frankie.

Initially, they don’t notice each other as she’s focused on the MINI and he’s very intent on obtaining what Tommie requested.

But true to Frankie’s form (er… nature), he bumps into something [AB COASTER and then an old Apple Monitor) causing a loud sound — startling the both of them.

Then, in almost a Bugs Bunny fashion, they both talk at the same time…

FRANNIE
Hey, you…?

FRANKIE
Hey, you…?

FRANNIE
What are you…?

FRANKIE
What are you…?

FRANNIE
I thought you…

FRANKIE
I thought you…

FRANNIE
Busted!!

FRANKIE
Busted!!

They pause and then after a beat, start laughing uncontrollably.

FRANKIE
I’m on a mission from…

FRANNIE
Really…? What…? A Blues Brothers reference?

Noticing the skepticism in her voice, Frankie flips open the RAZR and holds it up.

FRANKIE
See! Tommie drew me a MAP where “X” marks the spot for…

Studying the RAZR, Frannie smiles and points to a spot next to the exercise bike.

Frankie looks and grins.

FRANKIE
Ah! Perfect!

He flips the LAY-FLAT MANGA over and studies it.

Lay Flat Manga…

Lay-Flat Manga in French…?!?

FRANKIE
Huh… FRENCH MANGA… Boxing with… Mike Tyson? Really? Wonder what he’s up to this time?

Frannie borrows to flip through.

FRANNIE
My French is a little rusty, but this looks cool… I imagine Joey was giving it a look as he seems to have commandeered the LAY-FLAT MANGAs… well… the ones at JEDEMI.

FRANKIE
Betcha Katie’s house is full of ‘em.

He reaches over to take back the asked for (”IPPO”) manga.

Please and THANK-YOU!!

FRANKIE
Please and THANK-YOU!!

Frannie releases her grip as now her attention has returned to the MINI SLABBY.

Frankie bows and starts moving towards the back door, when he is called back.

FRANNIE
Mr Frankie… Before you head back, can you help me out with something…?

She is holding up the MINI SLABBY.

FRANKIE
Ah! You’re…

FRANNIE
Intrigued. It’s a … mini slabby thingie, right? I believe this is how DOC is reading MANGA…

FRANKIE
Ah… Interesting… Saw him and JOEY fooling with something but I had to stay focused on TOMMIE’s…

He takes the MINI and presses the round button.

“On” button – mini Slabby- file copy

FRANNIE
It’s alive! Where is the MANGA? Any ideas?

They both study the ICONS on the screen…

FRANKIE
There… I think… The SJ chiclet thingie… I don’t know why, but that logo looks familiar to me.

Chiclet thingie…

As they are deep in concentration – focused on the various options in the SHONEN JUMP app, the RAZR pings.

They look at each other.

FRANKIE
That’s weird…

Reading, he shakes his head.

FRANKIE
I’m being summoned… er… ushered by…

FRANNIE
How’d he…?

…He has his ways, so… Amscray I must…

FRANKIE
He has his ways, so… Amscray I must…

He disappears from sight with a burst of energy. Frannie looks at the MINI SLABBY and then in the direction of Frankie.

FRANNIE
Wait for me !!

So Frannie takes off in pursuit of Frankie.

Stay tuned…

TO. BE. CONTINUED…

That’s a Wrap…

Crashing the party? Well, it kinda looks that way as Frannie takes off in pursuit of Frankie.

Please stay tuned to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT…

The post DISH-PATCH (044): Fancy Meeting You Here… appeared first on Jedemi.

And so it was that in that fine NO GIRLZ ALLOWED TUF SHED where the guys had settled in, the mad inventor TOMMIE’s mind really never stopped as he hopped from one project to the next.

Now, two of the LP GANG (JOEY and DOC), with a bit of nudging, found respite By-the-Sea, leaving FRANKIE to keep an eye on their inventor friend.

And Frankie has a bit of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), but the call of duty has kept him from channeling his inner self, to do some…

Let’s listen in to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT… —The Gang

FADE IN:

INT. GEAR GUY’S SHED

FRANKIE
Why me?

DOC
Well…

JOEY
We’re supposed to be keeping a low profile as guests here…

FRANKIE
Yes, and…

DOC
And we promised the ladies…

JOEY
…That we’d do our best to make sure you and our INVENTOR PAL stay out of trouble.

FRANKIE
So you’ve lumped us together as trouble-makers with ME watching HIM?!? Seriously?

DOC
Kinda figured you’d cancel each other out…

JOEY
Or at least, keep it in a tighter circle — as you feed off each other.

DOC
Look… we’ll spell you … take shifts like we did over the hill at Jedemi.

JOEY
You’re helping US out by taking the first shift, so to speak as Doc here really needs to get his bearings … There’s a lot going on at the Seymour.

DOC
Seriously… Appreciate ya! We’ll do beers… @TheSEA and leave our pal Joey in charge of the MI, right Joey?

JOEY
Yeah… Fair enough. Now… can you…?

FRANKIE
Sure… why not? Besides, I think we’re getting closer to solving for PROJECTION, which would be huge… open up a lot of possibilities.

Doc fist bumps Frankie and so does Joey.

JOEY
Sounds promising.

DOC
Thanks again, my man!

And just as the Boys step outside the SHED, the sounds of the JOBY DRONE can be heard.

And within mere seconds, the boys are SCOOPED by ZUP [like loop with a “Z”] for a MARINE LIFE adventure @TheSEYMOUR.

ZUP, as he tends to do, “BUZZED” the SHED — looping it aggressively before heading towards the Sea. Both Joey and Doc hung on for dear life.

The sound of the “BUZZ” brought Frankie to the doorway. And before they elevated to cruising altitude, there was a THUNK from a JOBY DRONE delivery.

FRANKIE
What the…?

Picking it up, he slowing moves back inside the SHED.

Tommie sees what Frankie is holding and quickly whisks it away.

Within seconds, he’s sketching out a mission for FRANKIE.

Then, he grabs one of their “community RAZRs” and snaps a picture of the “map” he drew before handing it off to Frankie.

FRANKIE
Uh… O-kay… But I’m ‘sposed to stay out of trouble and…

Holding up the RAZR.

FRANKIE
This. LOOKS. LIKE. TROUBLE.

Tommie persistently points to the door –> opens the door –>> points to the house–>> motions to get a move on.

FRANKIE
Fine. I’m going. I’m going… !!

FADE OUT.

Stay tuned…

TO. BE. CONTINUED…

That’s a Wrap…

WHAT COULD IT BE NOW ?

You’re wondering, right?

Please stay tuned to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT…

The post DISH-PATCH (043): Frankie’s Fantastic Foray… appeared first on Jedemi.

And so it was that after a beverage break Happy Puppy KEE-RA follows a hunch to the garage…

A continuation of this…

Let’s listen in to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT… —The Gang

FADE IN:

INT. MEREDITH’S HOUSE – GARAGE

Upon entering the garage, Kee-Ra realizes he’s got some challenges ahead. There’s some light from inside the house, but not enough to truly see Former Suit KATIE’s JEEP which is parked there.

KEE-RA
Think, Kee-Ra! Think…!

He paces around the house a bit and then has a…

DING!Thing moment…

KEE-RA
Might. Could. Work…

What he’s referring to is the spare garage door remote that his human, MEREDITH keeps by the front door.

KEE-RA
All I gots to do is… Knock it on the ground and press.

So Kee-Ra, channeling his inner [Wonder / Wander || Wander / Wonder Kat] MR SQUEEK’s leaping abilities, after several tries, indeed gets the garage open.

KEE-RA
Woo-hoo! Now I gotta be quick as it is possible Mama will be alerted which triggers cams AND…

Leaving that thought to evaporate into the air, Kee-Ra returns to the garage and leverages the opportunity to memorize his eyes, the setup on Katie’s Jeep –> which they’ve been taking out on Duckin’ adventures.

Kee-Ra smiles thinking about riding shotgun and even seat-belted in the backseat where he can really feel the wind on his fur.

KEE-RA
Ah! I see here the wavyWaveDuckin’ and the wavyWaveYOSH!! hanging out with that little cutout Duckie.

Left Tail Light…

KEE-RA
On the black Jeep… the colours stand out for sure.

His eye look towards the interior of the Jeep where he notices another one of the cutout Duckies along with…

KEE-RA
Look at that…! It’s a mini-wavyWaveDuckin’ along with another of the cutouts. Visible from here but…

Near Rear-view Mirror…

He hops up into the Jeep and takes his position in the back seat to study some more.

… F–U–N… FUN !!

KEE-RA
Kinda dig it… F-U-N- FUN!! Sharing Duckin’ joy and having it also be a reminder to… embrace the joy…

He stops to thinks some…

KEE-RA
So the cutout one … yellow guy… looks cool, but I seem to recall there was an issue of some sort…

Pacing…

KEE-RA
Ah! Right… The magnet being tiny. I little tiny circle… not very strong…

Small magnet…

KEE-RA
And in a Jeep that IS an issue as bumpity-bumpity is “par for the course” as they say.

He pauses and does a sort of REWIND [<<] in his mind.

KEE-RA
Mama said something… Oh… That this is really a refrigerator magnet… but then again, THAT TINY?

Now studying the juxtaposition near the rear view mirror.

KEE-RA
Interesting… Seems like there’s barely enough surface area to hold… like what is that? A two-incher? Guess we’ll test and see if it holds.

Kee-Ra hops out of the Jeep and makes his way back into the house where he applies pressure to the remote and listens while the garage door shuts.

KEE-RA
Cool! Now, of course, there’ll be some ‘splaining to do as to why the remote is on the entryway floor.

He pauses and then smiles.

KEE-RA
Gremlins! I’ll blame Gremlins and then divert her attention to… JEEP ADVENTURE!! A sunset cruise, if you will…

After paw-bumping himself, he looks at the clock.

KEE-RA
The SQUEEKSTER will be back soon, so I better do more memorizing my eyes before the RAZR disappears.

His attention returns to the phone where he looks at LOTS of pictures.

KEE-RA
K-So… Here are a batch of ones related to that wavyWave design.

Side-by-side with that white Duckin’ one… the winner is clearly wavyWAVE and … it says here, QR code on that white one was a FAIL.
Kee-Ra continues to play and then stops as he plays through images in his mind’s eye.

Duckin’ Magnet (w/o QR)…

KEE-RA
I get it… Now the discussion has shifted to SIZE… 3×3 or 2×2 or… BOTH?!?

Then he swipes to find a message from RC recommending field testing for size and placement.

…an excuse to do more drive-abouts… Jeep Adventures!

KEE-RA
Woo-hoo for us! An excuse to do more drive-abouts… Jeep Adventures!

After doing his version of SNOOPY-DANCIN’ he looks at the clock and gets back to swiping away. That’s when he comes upon a series showing magnets on other vehicles. He smiles.

KEE-RA
Ah! Now it gets more interesting as this was something I was wondering… Why limit the unexpected joy of Duckin’ to Jeeps??

KEE-RA
This Kona edition… looks cool! Shows well…! Plus… Kinda diggin’ the left-side placement…

Studies the pictures some more.

KEE-RA
Driver Side…maximizes visibility if you…

Kee-Ra closes his eyes and imagines himself in Meredith’s driver seat.

KEE-RA
Yup! Stuck at a light or in traffic… This gives a something pleasant to look at PLUS…

More swiping back-and-forth…

KEE-RA
This shows flexibility by using magnets — you can move to where you like on the vehicle… We’ve talked ‘bout this on our excursions… stickers = STUCK!!

Stickers & Magnets…

KEE-RA
Not horrible as these are kinda fun but… I noticed on the top of the bumper are a couple of companies that are no longer in business. Would be nice to have the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and attitudes, right?

[HYDRATION BREAK]

And indeed, Kee-Ra went to his “watering hole” and enjoyed some refreshment. Looking up suddenly, he made a beeline for the RAZR and started swiping again. Then a HUGE(er) smile as…

Truck…!

More Truck…!

KEE-RA
Gotta hurry up and get this RAZR back into the planter but…
Let me… Oh…! WHOA!!

Flexi-Experiment…

KEE-RA
Looks like they’ve been running a FLEXI experiment with Gear Guy’s truck too!

He studies the pictures from GEAR GUY’s truck.

KEE-RA
I can see… literally… the point of having the YOSH!! near the AWD and on his FOREST MIST truck, it POPS!!

KEE-RA
As for the DragonBustR… Huh… Legacy I guess… sorta works as it is facing the Ridgeline Badge but… All of these feel like they should be surrounding the HONDA “H” in the center…

Looking at legacy…

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. MEREDITH’S HOUSE

I bit on overload, Kee-Ra retires to his sunny spot in the back yard — after placing the RAZR in the planter for Mr Squeek’s retrieval.

As he settles in for his snooze, he says to himself.

…Now to hang back and watch the developments…

KEE-RA
Got context … Now to hang back and watch the developments…

A short while later there’s a thud and a nudge which gets Kee-Ra’s attention.

MR SQUEEK
Did you see this? Dude…? Did ya….?

Kee-Ra is shaking the nap fog from his brain and then his eyes focus on the RAZR which is now back in Mr Squeek’s possession.

KEE-RA
Huh?

MR SQUEEK
Grabbed it from the planter and powered up…

He’s waving the RAZR at Kee-Ra…

MR SQUEEK
This is COOL. Way COOL!!

Studying Kee-Ra closely, he winks at him and powers down.

MR SQUEEK
Based on that smile on your sleeping face … Dreamin’ away, I ‘spose… Well… We’ll pick this up another time, eh?

Kee-Ra gives him a smiley-sleepy nod.

MR SQUEEK
Alrighty, then… Later, gator!

And with a leap, he’s hopped the fence and is on his way. Kee-Ra opens his eyes in time to see just the tail of Mr Squeek as he disappears.

Just then he hears in the wind “KOKO!!”

Smiling, Kee-Ra returns to his nap.

FADE OUT.

Stay tuned…

TO. BE. CONTINUED…

That’s a Wrap…

And so it was that Kee-Ra got a preview of “COMING ATTRACTIONS” and Mr Squeek, while digging what he SWIPED & SAW so far, is in for a surprise… That much we can say.

Please stay tuned to find out WHAT. HAPPENS. NEXT…
