Dear Boys: I am taking a rest before supper. I don’t know when I will have it but it will be later. I have a lousy cold wouldn’t you know it. I ate lunch at 3:30 so dinner will be light. This morning after the breakfast of cold ham, salami, cheese, butter and coffee IContinue reading “Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother:?

Can I deliver and be the perfectContinue reading “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog: The Final Cut: Some Fine Tuning for a Street Dog: Chapter Twelve”

“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 54 Meeting with Bernie Maggot and Fleece-Em Investment Management Company
The Greyhound Montreal to New York midnight bus is always a bizarre experience. Invariably Mennonites or Amish are denied entry into the United States. Then that rest stop at Saratoga Springs in New York is like a trip back to a 1950’s diner and the apple pie is almost worth the trip! I arrived inContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 54 Meeting with Bernie Maggot and Fleece-Em Investment Management Company”
“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous”: Chapter 52: Back to New York to Work with Bernie Maggot
It took two years out of my life with the class action lawsuits resulting from the “disturbances” at the Queen Fairy Hospital for Veterans and the Mugless Mental Hospital. The biggest victory was against the United States Government for conducting covert LSD experimentation on certain Mugless patients. The judgment was for $120 million USD dividedContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous”: Chapter 52: Back to New York to Work with Bernie Maggot”
“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 52: Revolt at the Queen Fairy Hospital for Veterans in Montreal
Not far from the idyllic suburb of Hampstead in Montreal one can find the ageing Queen Fairy Hospital for Veterans. Those Quebec soldiers severely injured in conflicts where Canada was fighting were “housed” in the Queen Fairy. Conditions were rather grim with lack of comprehensive physical and psychiatric care. For the past year patients hadContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 52: Revolt at the Queen Fairy Hospital for Veterans in Montreal”
“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 50: Revolt of the Mutants in Montreal: Hijacked by the Sons of Westmount
In the midst of packing up in Naples to go to some undetermined destination I received a telephone call from Squid in Montreal. As you may recall Squid was the top man with the United Mutations and I had worked for the United Mutations in New York drafting the Charter of Mutant Rights. You mayContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 50: Revolt of the Mutants in Montreal: Hijacked by the Sons of Westmount”
“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 49: Good-Bye Naples, Good-Bye Scampia and Good-Bye Don Lupara….for the time being
Seven hours after departing Bucharest I was at my seaside home on the Bay of Naples. Don Lupara gave me a call and invited me to dinner at the “compound” the following day. Perhaps it was my imagination but the scent of Ginevra still lingered in the house that was to be the home ofContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 49: Good-Bye Naples, Good-Bye Scampia and Good-Bye Don Lupara….for the time being”
