My assignment with the United Mutations in New York was rapidly completed. Drafting the Mutants Charter of Rights was somewhat challenging but with resourcefulness and creativity the task was more time consuming than difficult. I cobbled together various human rights bills and declarations from a year long course I took at the Cote St. LucContinue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvelous (The Final Version):Chapter 25: Finishing My Assignment with New York’s United Mutations: John Lennon’s Panic Attack and the Beautiful Ginerva!”

RKS 2025 Wine: Is this Chilean La Junta Carménère Stomping About in a Militaristic Fashion?
Junta is an unfortunate name for a Chilean winery considering the brutal dictatorship of General Pinochet and his junta buddies in 1973 Chile leading to the overthrow and murder of democratically elected Salvador Allende. Thousands of Chileans were tortured, murdered or simply “disappeared”. Putting aside the unsavory connotations of junta in this wine’s name let’sContinue reading “RKS 2025 Wine: Is this Chilean La Junta Carménère Stomping About in a Militaristic Fashion?”
The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 24: Reading John Lennon’s Tea Leaves: Yoko Ono’s Stuttering and Screeching
Being half Welsh and half Indian my bloodline was comfortable with high tea. I walked to the Plaza Hotel, well known for its high tea, and bought their incredible jasmine tea and some dainty cakes and sandwiches from the iconic Palm Room. John arrived at my “pad” at 2 p.m. and we sat down toContinue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 24: Reading John Lennon’s Tea Leaves: Yoko Ono’s Stuttering and Screeching”

RKS Literature: The Sea Dictates Everything
“By the time we were off Livingston, any hope of getting into the harbour was out of the question. The entrance to Livingston Harbour is shallow with a series of low lying rocks directly in front of it.

The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version):Chapter 23: Strolling Central Park with John Lennon: Getting Shivers from Chapmans
I met John Lennon in the lobby of the Dakota for his “guided tour” of Central Park. John explained to me the media was constantly on his tail as an ex-Beatle. We had a choice of a few service exits and slipped out to a bright spring day and headed into the park. John hadContinue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version):Chapter 23: Strolling Central Park with John Lennon: Getting Shivers from Chapmans”
The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 22: My Stint in New York Begins with a John Lennon Friendship
I arrived at New York’s Port Authority somewhat bleary eyed from my 10-hour overnight bus trip from Montreal. US immigration at the New York State border crossing had, due to “immigration falsehoods”, hauled off some twenty of the Amish on the bus returning them to Canada causing a two-hour delay. That cherry pie at theContinue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 22: My Stint in New York Begins with a John Lennon Friendship”
RKS 2025 Wine: Jaque Mate 2019 Malbec Reserva
A Pavlovian reaction to “Wine/Argentina” might be “Malbec”! And upon shouting out “Malbec” a response might be Mendoza and if so what can go wrong with a Mendoza Malbec except perhaps for a growing sense of Malbec fatigue. Jaque Mate is from a Luján de Cuyo vineyard at approximately 870 meters altitude. The 25-year-old vinesContinue reading “RKS 2025 Wine: Jaque Mate 2019 Malbec Reserva”

One night at a favourite bar of mine Marwin’s on Stanley Street in Montreal I met up with a couple of lively personalities Squid and Willie Montenez.

They claimed to have been from other planets and dimensions.Continue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 21: I Am Off to New York City as a Lawyer for The United Mutations”
