“I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind? You, my creator, would tear me to pieces and triumph; remember that, and tell me why I should pity man more than he pities me. You would not call it murder if you could precipitate me into one ofContinue reading “RKS Literature: Why is Frankenstein’s Creation so Malicious? (Mary Shelley)”

RKS Literature: How Can Frankenstein’s Creation Cease His Threats to Humanity?
“For some days I haunted the spot where these scenes had taken place, sometimes wishing to see you, sometimes resolved to quit this world and its miseries forever.

RKS Literature: Frankenstein’s Creation Declares War on Humanity (Mary Shelley)
“I became fatigued with excess of bodily exertion and sank on the grass in the sick impotence of despair. There was none amongst the myriads of men that existed who would pity or assist me; and should I feel kindness towards my enemies? No; from that moment I declared everlasting war against the species, andContinue reading “RKS Literature: Frankenstein’s Creation Declares War on Humanity (Mary Shelley)”
RKS Literature: Frankenstein’s Creation Wretched, Miserable and Alone (Mary Shelley)
“Like Adam, I was apparently united by no link to any other being in existence; but his state was far different than mine in every other respect.

RORY’S POSEIDON ADVENTURE Bob and I watched “The Poseidon Adventure” with Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine and Shelley Winters the other day on Turner Classic Movies. A passenger ship sinking!

I AM THE WHITE ROCKET BUT SOMETIMES SMELL LIKE AN EARTHWORM Over and over you read and hear West Highland Terriers have a digging and a strong prey instinct.

RKS Literature: Frankenstein’s Creation Laments His Deformity (Mary Shelley)
“I had admired the perfect forms of my cottagers-their grace, beauty, and delicate complexions: but how I was terrified when I viewed myself in a transparent pool. At first I started back, unable to believe that it was indeed I who was reflected in the mirror: and when I became fully convinced that I wasContinue reading “RKS Literature: Frankenstein’s Creation Laments His Deformity (Mary Shelley)”

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AFTER GERMAN SHEPPARD ATTACK Bob and I were taking one of our many daily walks. Bob is of the view a tired dog is a happy dog. He sure has that one right.

“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY INSPIRED BY THE SOUND OF MUSIC!
RORY INSPIRED BY THE SOUND OF MUSIC! I had been listening to radio and television advertisements promoting a revival of the musical “The Sound of Music”. Bob groans in pain hearing the refrain, “….climb every mountain” and on occasion he howls like a wolf after he listens to it. Well I find it catchy. IContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: RORY INSPIRED BY THE SOUND OF MUSIC!”

MATTERS ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE: OUR SECURITY TEAM AND BOB’S GLOCK Bob is fond of saying we inhabit a “modest cottage” on a quiet street in Toronto’s Bridlepath area. Bob and Fay purchased the late musician Gordon Lightfoot’s home and gently renovated it a few years ago. That musician Drake is ourContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: MATTERS ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE: OUR SECURITY TEAM AND BOB’S GLOCK”
