Ken happily resides under a freeway in Houston, third cardboard box from the end between wino of the year "Cirrhosis Sally Smothers," who is awaiting her 4th liver transplant, and fellow wino "Stanley Steak" who is awaiting a new kidney.
What little leisure time he has left is spent mastering the art of "cat juggling", and performing mime for the criminally insane. He is also perfecting a unique dance routine in the hope of finally being selected after years of being ignored, for the Chippendale dance group as he approaches his ninety second year. Lately, whenever he steps on a dance floor, people check him for his medical alert bracelet.
He has authored several best sellers, amongst them "Aardvarks for beginners" (Pulitzer Prize winner 1971, "Round Balls for Square People" (Booker Prize 1978) and his last masterpiece "Why isn't This Universe All About Me" (Plumbing Magazines Book of the Year 1981).
Ultimately his remaining goals in life are to have a medical condition named after him, to transport a new breed of body lice across
International borders,(he wishes to exploit the underground lice market in the Ukraine), and to own his own planet consisting of horizontally constructed sky scrapers.
Ken does not have an enemy in the World,unfortunately none of his friends like him.
