For whatever reason one knee started flaring up in the middle of the night with intense pain and throbbing. I applied some anti-inflammatory cream I had prescribed at a special compounding pharmacy in Toronto. It supposedly takes two days to kick in. Had a delicious breakfast of smoked salmon, watermelon, fresh country bead, poached eggsContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 10September2022: Thessaloniki Greece: Arthritis Attack”

You may recall Minah by little hummingbird of a sweetheart in Montreal. Well I had been accepted to McGill University in Montreal with a full Claire and Warren Quimby Scholarship For the Disadvantaged in the Third World. I didn’t need the tuition money but seeing the bastards the First World can produce, particularly the BritContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous: Chapter 8: Minah My 140 Kilo Sweetheart”
“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned But Marvellous” :Chapter 7: That Bastard Montreal Murderer Killed My Mom Juanita!
I was somewhat roused by several visits the American Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Chief of the Bombay Police Inspector Suri Saleem paid to me. Did my mother have any enemies I was aware of they repeatedly queried. I knew of no enemies. They returned to ask me if I had any enemies. Me!Continue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned But Marvellous” :Chapter 7: That Bastard Montreal Murderer Killed My Mom Juanita!”
RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: The Safety of Marriage
“I do not know if the pimp’s album may not have been another link in the daisy-chain; but soon after, for my own safety, I decided to marry. It occurred to me that regular hours, home cooked meals, all the conventions of marriage, the prophylactic routine of its bedroom activities and, who knows, the eventualContinue reading “RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: The Safety of Marriage”
RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: Messing with a Psychiatrist
“I discovered there was an endless source of robust enjoyment in trifling with psychiatrists: cunningly leading them on: never letting them see you know all the tricks of the trade: inventing for them elaborate dreams, pure classics in style (which make them the dream-extortionists, dream and wake up shrieking); teasing them with fake “primal scenes”;Continue reading “RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: Messing with a Psychiatrist”
“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 6: Juanita Joins Big Bopper and Buddy Holly
Flying to New Delhi from Montreal is far better than the Delhi Belly flight from New Delhi to Montreal as with the latter Indian food seeks its revenge on those not used to it. Flatulence and the runs created an unholy stench that not even eggplant curry could mask. I arrived at home in BombayContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 6: Juanita Joins Big Bopper and Buddy Holly”

Juanita Wallabong’s tour was just about wrapping up in North America with a final performance in Montreal at “The Cote St. Luc Residence for Retired Musicians, Roadies and Groupies”.

“The Penniless Pensioner : Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous :Chapter 4: My Displeasure with Wuhan Wet Market Publishing and Why the Term “Penniless Pensioner”
Excuse me for interrupting the flow of this modern disjunctivist autobiography but my publisher Wuhan Wet Market Publishing (WWMP) insists, and they have the contractual right to do so, that I not delve into significant details as to my name “Penniless Pensioner” in the early parts of the autobiography. My view dear reader is thatContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner : Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous :Chapter 4: My Displeasure with Wuhan Wet Market Publishing and Why the Term “Penniless Pensioner””
“Travels to a Different Time” : 9September2022: Thessaloniki Greece: Yet Another Stupendous Meal
Up today at 07:30 after a restless sleep. Breakfast in the cozy breakfast room of Hotel Daios Luxury Living. The service is prompt and usually spot on but I asked for some more hot water for my tea but a pot of coffee was brought instead. Although I refrain from eating farmed raised salmon dueContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 9September2022: Thessaloniki Greece: Yet Another Stupendous Meal”
“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 3: Juanita Wallabong’s Farewell Tour
When I was 14 years old my mother Juanita no longer wanted to give live performances as the anxiety that caused her was overwhelming even with those “Mother’s Little Helpers” otherwise known as Xanax and the live performances only encouraged her to revive that past habit of Gin. Despite the anxiety she wanted to giveContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 3: Juanita Wallabong’s Farewell Tour”
