Give thy thoughts no tongue,Nor any unproportioned thought his act.Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;But do not dull thy palm with entertainmentOf each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. BewareOf entrance to a quarrel, but being in,Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;For the apparel oft proclaims the man,And they in France of the best rank and stationAre of a most select and generous chief in that.Neither a borrower nor a lender be;For loan oft loses both itself and friend,And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.This above all: to thine ownself be true,And it must follow, as the night the day,Thou canst not then be false to any man.Next on The Folium Diary:10/15  Stuart spins a spooky yarn from the Grand Lodge Theater.11/15  Something about cats 🐈 people like cats.12/15  The Return of the Cherie Hazzard!The Folium collaborated with Maple Whispers ASMR to create a lovely new video: The Girl Who Could Not Sleep

DAISY🤒DROOPSNew 📸 on ko-fi!I forgot to say Juan's full name is Juan Julian! His friends in Progreso call him Juan, but in Cherán they called him Julian, so that's what I did here, but forgot to explain. Smoke, why didn't you catch this before I posted it? Smoke: < because you said I had a big head! > 😼 Such a lovely cat 😽Juan's parents are Anna and Jorge. Anna is Hector and Henry's younger sister. Henry said he and Hector realized Anna was better suited to run the family business than either of them, so they both emigrated so that she could shine, and she has. What nice big brothers! Besides growing amazing avocados, she created a software company - care to guess its name? (hint: 🥑) Jorge is a wonderful artist who runs the The Mayan Gypsy and decorated all the rooms. They put me up in the Bohemian Lair and it was so cool. Juan took me to a disco called X'O, where we met some of his friends, who were all dressed so well – I felt a bit dowdy in my sweats and t shirt. Even so, one of Juan's female friends was giving me side-eye, which translates in any language to "are you a threat?" I disarmed her with one of my Daisy Love perfume drops, saying it was from my fiancé Stuart (wont Stuart be surprised!). She retracted her claws and we ended up dancing together – these kids know how to party! (Later, Juan asked if it was true I had a fiancé, and when I explained, he said something in Spanish, which I looked up to mean "that's a relief" - hmm). Ok, enough Teen Drama! Juan is proud of his new plane, a Halcón 2.1. Well, it's the company's plane, which they use to check on their avocado groves spread around the peninsula. The plane is brand new, and Juan just got his pilots license in January, so it still has that 'new plane' smell. You can read more about it here.Cherán is an amazing place, or really, I should say the people there are amazing. They were fed up with corruption and abuse and did something about it. I'm going to practice my Spanish so I can read more of the original documents, but here and here are articles in English.And then there's Raff and her bomber - no, not a bomber! She flies a Bombardier 8000, which is the fastest commercial jet on the market. I'm sure Raff would fly an actual bomber if she could get her hands on one – don't give her any ideas! I made a picture of her plane in purple - she's painting it for her job with the Valkyries.Next month: May-hem with Mom! 🫯(Btw, that's me using my down time to catch up on my reading - Bloody Jack rules! 🏴‍☠️)The Folium Diary reruns in August!08/01 Hello World08/02 The Girl From Spaceship Earth08/03 Valuing Life08/04 The Hard Crowd08/05 Nomadic Theory08/06 The Original Frankenstein08/07 The Operating System08/08 Decolonizing Wealth08/09 Astrology Is Real08/10 Doppelgänger08/11 Digital Communion08/12 Parable of the Talents08/13 Danielle vs Bloody Jack08/14 The Folium Dispatch08/15 Daisy Drops

Smoke 😺 Signal: A Daisy Drop SpecialI was in the kitchen reading this article to Linda when Smoke jumped in my lap and made it known in no uncertain terms that she wanted to narrate this as a podcast episode. Smoke has been itching to get back in the show ever since Cher made her a co-host last December (either that or it's fleas 🙀). We worked on her voice for hours until she was satisfied - such a diva. Smoke thinks what humans say about animals says more about themselves than they realize.We hope you enjoy it, but please don't send Smoke any fanmail - her big head barely fits through the cat door as it is 😽"A cozy nap is the best idea" - Dinky-PooThe Folium Diary reruns in August!08/01 Hello World08/02 The Girl From Spaceship Earth08/03 Valuing Life08/04 The Hard Crowd08/05 Nomadic Theory08/06 The Original Frankenstein08/07 The Operating System08/08 Decolonizing Wealth08/09 Astrology Is Real08/10 Doppelgänger08/11 Digital Communion08/12 Parable of the Talents08/13 Danielle vs Bloody Jack08/14 The Folium Dispatch08/15 Daisy Drops

...CONTINUED FROM LAST EPISODECherie said the key to the lost room is where I would be sure to "step on it". At her birthday party, in the same parlor I was sitting in while reading Mr. Davies letter, I made the mistake of confessing I had left the LEGO piece on the floor that she stepped on weeks before. Mr. Davies had bought a LEGO set of the X-Men Mansion because he thought it looked like the Lodge. He put it together himself and made a nice case for it, but left the other pieces out for guests (and pests such as me) to play with. After a battle in which Rogue whipped Wolverine, I couldn't find Wolverine's head. I guess Cher's foot found it. Oops! When I told Cher, she laughed and said 'forget about it', which should have been a red flag – The Folium Never Forgets.That night, at the Girl's Only Parlor Party, where Cher did the Dance of the Seven Veils (flashing some very chic lingerie), we took off our shoes for a limbo contest (which I won, by the way). Afterwards, I put on my bunny slippers, but when I stood up there was a stabbing pain in my left foot, and I yelped. Everyone crowded around to see what was wrong – except Cher, who was rolling on the floor laughing. When I pulled off the slipper, there was Wolverine's head stuck in my instep – and she calls me the monster!To make a short story long, the key was inside the Mansion and I had no trouble finding it, but I checked for booby-traps, just in case – with Cher, you can't be too careful.If Cher thought I needed a clue to find the room she would have left one - 'no brain, no pain', as they say in informatics – but she hadn't, so I considered the options. The basement was full of offices, a bar, the spa, etc, so the top floor was the logical place to start. I discarded the guest rooms – McMenamins would make sure those were secure (can't have guests disappearing unintentionally, can we?)That left the housekeeper's store-room, which I entered stealthily around 6pm. I'd been here before, either helping the housekeepers or swiping shampoo, and been fascinated by the laundry chute. Sam once joked about throwing me down the chute to see what would happen...I think he was joking. I checked around the chute and opened the hatch – nothing. I stepped back, and noticed narrow seams in the wall – as if the wall itself was a door. I looked for a keyhole, but there was only a light-switch. I flipped the switch on and off, but nothing happened. I tried again, and noticed a click when the switch was up. I pulled on the switch, and the panel opened, revealing a keyhole! Someone went to a lot of trouble to hide this place, I thought, as I turned the key and a section of the wall swung open...maybe I should have knocked first. Too late now!The room I saw was small but comfortable. I stepped around the laundry chute and entered. It was spotless. There was a small bed, a desk with a lamp and chair, and a mini-fridge. One wall was covered with pictures of mushrooms. The other wall was shelving, with neat stacks of magazines, each issue in its own plastic sleeve. I picked up the closest one – the face staring back was regal in appearance. It looked like an old movie magazine, and there were two copies of this issue, so before I had time to think about it, I slipped the less pristine copy in my sweatpants and turned back towards the door. My foot bumped the desk, and something on it lit up - I had jostled a smartphone. The image on the screen was an elderly man with a white beard and jolly smile, who I didn't recognize, next to another person who was very familiar – Cherie!The Folium Diary reruns in August!08/01 Hello World08/02 The Girl From Spaceship Earth08/03 Valuing Life08/04 The Hard Crowd08/05 Nomadic Theory08/06 The Original Frankenstein08/07 The Operating System08/08 Decolonizing Wealth08/09 Astrology Is Real08/10 Doppelgänger08/11 Digital Communion08/12 Parable of the Talents08/13 Danielle vs Bloody Jack08/14 The Folium Dispatch08/15 Daisy Drops

WELCOME TO DAISY DROPS!Written, recorded (on a zoom call with Mom), and edited by Daisy - that's me! Yes, there may be a little room for improvement - I'm getting a better mic and practicing vocally vexatious tongue twisters every day. The next episode in February should have a nice glow-up. Tune-in and see!Ps. Here is the 'boring' material I left out of the show (that's reverse psychology...but if I tell you that, does it reverse the reverse? Whatever! Just read this. Please.)When I got back to the Lodge, there was an envelope in my employee mail slot marked 'FY👁️ Only'. I took it to our favorite parlor to open, and inside was a Lodge key-card and a note, which read: Miss Daisy, you are hereby promoted to Special Assistant to the General Manager (not Special Assistant General Manager, sorry). This key-card opens every electronic lock in the Lodge. Miss Hazzard modified it (some might say hacked) to be untraceable, and it will never expire. I did not approve this alteration and know nothing about it. Ahem.While perusing the Lodge's original blueprints – something she apparently enjoyed in her spare time – Cherie found what appeared to be an old room that was never wired for key-card access. When she showed it to me, I recalled that Sultan, our lobby lion (That's what she looks like to me, anyhow), has a wooden collar, and on it is a carved wooden key (I concede lion's do not usually wear collars). Miss Hazzard said she was intimately familiar with Sultan – at which point she blushed – and would check it out. Later, she said she replicated the key with the Lodge's 3D printer (I didn't know we had such a thing – did you?), and would look for the room when she had time.Well, you know Miss Hazzard and time – they often seemed to be unfamiliar with the concept of each other (Did she tell you about the time I found her in the parlor at 4am watching a sumo wrestling tournament live from Japan while nibbling from a plate of sushi obtained from who-knows-where? I admit to aiding and abetting such behavior by procuring a bottle of sake from the cellar. But I digress). The last time we spoke, she said she never got around to exploring the room itself. I told her to pass the key on to you, as you have a similar spirit of adventure. She said she would leave it someplace where you were sure to 'step on it'. I trust you know or can deduce what that is supposed to mean.One more thing: you might not want to mention your promotion (or the key, or the Whackamolé Movie Club), to the new General Manager until you're sure they have the same... esprit de corps, shall we say.It's been a pleasure getting to know you, and I wish you all the best,Henry DaviesA secret promotion! A lost room! A hidden key! See, I told you it was boring.TO BE CONTINUED...The Folium Diary reruns in August!08/01 Hello World08/02 The Girl From Spaceship Earth08/03 Valuing Life08/04 The Hard Crowd08/05 Nomadic Theory08/06 The Original Frankenstein08/07 The Operating System08/08 Decolonizing Wealth08/09 Astrology Is Real08/10 Doppelgänger08/11 Digital Communion08/12 Parable of the Talents08/13 Danielle vs Bloody Jack08/14 The Folium Dispatch08/15 Daisy Drops

This ends the Folium Diary 🍃(Sorry for posting so late! Raff kept texting with questions about our trip)[I wouldn't have so many questions if you told me the plan in the first place](I was rather busy launching the app I spent the last ten years working on)[Yes but I'm the pilot and we can't take off without knowing where we're going](True, but it's my plane and you could cut me some slack)Would you vexatious virago’s please stop?! We are trying to enjoy the last page of the diary.(Sorry! I've been under a lot of pressure. Raff – see you at Hillsboro in a few hours. Don't forget to turn on the hot tub!)Tune-in tomorrow for the Epilogue#YThe Folium Diary reruns in August!08/01 Hello World08/02 The Girl From Spaceship Earth08/03 Valuing Life08/04 The Hard Crowd08/05 Nomadic Theory08/06 The Original Frankenstein08/07 The Operating System08/08 Decolonizing Wealth08/09 Astrology Is Real08/10 Doppelgänger08/11 Digital Communion08/12 Parable of the Talents08/13 Danielle vs Bloody Jack08/14 The Folium Dispatch08/15 Daisy Drops

InterviewProtocol has been completely scuttled. This episode was supposed to be Dispatch 7, and the interview with Professor B was supposed be yesterday, and...whatever. As Ferris says, life moves pretty fast – if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. I didn't want to miss getting together with Jane and Daisy – we could be sisters!! Raff was on her best behavior and put on a real charm offensive – she took Jane out for a ride on her motorcycle while Daisy and I plotted our next adventure, which you'll hear about shortly. Raff and Jane came back with takeout from Buckshot Betty's, including 'Hot Mama' Betty herself, who followed them in her beat-up pickup truck that looks like it came over on the Oregon Trail. We had a great time, and many stories were swapped – some of them even true. I hope you (yes you, with your earbuds on...in?...trying to figure out what the heck mushrooms have to do with anything) will forgive me for misleading you these last few months. The Folium is a journey, not a destination, and the last ten years are only the prologue - tomorrow is the real page one.Ok, these notes are turning in to an essay/confession, and you're probably wondering when I'm going to just shut up and let you listen to the show. Very soon! After the interview I let Professor B tell one of his jokes, which will be posted later tonight. Let's just say he's an even better teacher than he is comedian.Oh for heavens sake, one more thing: if you would like to learn more about Bucky's World Game, and the Folium sincerely hopes that you do, please visit the Buckminster Fuller Institute. Thank you Bucky (and Marshall!)Your huckleberry friend, Cherie 🫐#T The Folium Diary reruns in August!08/01 Hello World08/02 The Girl From Spaceship Earth08/03 Valuing Life08/04 The Hard Crowd08/05 Nomadic Theory08/06 The Original Frankenstein08/07 The Operating System08/08 Decolonizing Wealth08/09 Astrology Is Real08/10 Doppelgänger08/11 Digital Communion08/12 Parable of the Talents08/13 Danielle vs Bloody Jack08/14 The Folium Dispatch08/15 Daisy Drops

Dispatches 3 & 4(Smoke was admirably tight-lipped about the numerous breaches of protocol that took place in the family's absence. I'm sure someday Maria will discover the scratches on the dining table that Smoke and I covered up with a lovely floral centerpiece, but by then I'll be in the wind and Smoke can fend for herself.

Dispatch 2Smoke has been promoted to Co-host for the next few episodes. She accepted the position once she realized it meant increased chin scratches, more frequent treats, and getting to jump on all the places Maria normally tries to prevent her from jumping on.
