TERROR ON A SUBURBAN STREET: COYOTE CONFRONTATION! Remember the Seinfeld episode where Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer were in a certain contest that had some reference to being masters in their domain? I am master of my backyard domain as there I am the hunter. Squirrells, opossums and rabbits are my prey. Last night IContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: TERROR ON A SUBURBAN STREET: COYOTE CONFRONTATION!”

RKS Literature: Truman Capote Muses on Japanese Food (Truman Capote)
“The steak was excellent; Japanese take a just pride in the quality of their beef. The spaghetti, a dish popular in Japan was not; nor was the rest-the conglomeration of peas, potatoes and beans. Granted the menu was a queer one, it is on the whole a mistake to order Western food in Japan, yetContinue reading “RKS Literature: Truman Capote Muses on Japanese Food (Truman Capote)”
RKS Literature: The Entertaining and Typical Drunk (Yoshida Kenkō)
“All things considered, a drunkard is so entertaining he can be forgiven his sins. Think of the charming scene when a master throws open the door on his servant, who is sound asleep next morning after an exhausting night on the drink. The poor befuddled fellow rushes off, rubbing his bleary eyes, topknot exposed onContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Entertaining and Typical Drunk (Yoshida Kenkō)”
RKS Literature: Loathsome but Hard to Resist a Cup of Sake (Yoshida Kenkō)
“Yet, as loathsome though one finds it, there are situations where a cup of sake is hard to resist. On a moonlit night, a snowy morning, or beneath flowering cherry trees, it increases all the pleasures of the moment to bring out the sake cups and settle down to talk serenely together over a drink.Continue reading “RKS Literature: Loathsome but Hard to Resist a Cup of Sake (Yoshida Kenkō)”
RKS Literature: Wine the Path to Hell (Yoshida Kenkō)
“Wine has been called the ‘greatest of medicines’, but in fact all sickness springs from it. It is claimed you forget your sorrows in drink, but from what I can see, men in their cups will in fact weep to recall their past unhappiness. As for the next world-having lost the wisdom you were bornContinue reading “RKS Literature: Wine the Path to Hell (Yoshida Kenkō)”
RKS Literature: The Evil Side of Sake (Yoshida Kenkō)
“I cannot understand why people will seize any occasion to immediately bring out the sake, delighting in forcing someone else to drink. The other will frown and grimace in painful protest, attempt to throw it away when no one’s looking or do his best to escape, but this man will seize him, pin him downContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Evil Side of Sake (Yoshida Kenkō)”
RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds):”EVENING MANAGEMENT CLASSES”
EVENING MANAGEMENT CLASSES Upper middle class and more suburban sniffers Assemble after work Haunted by prospects of lower-class blues Fired by ambitious dreams Ontological drama forgotten In the dance of dollars The future manager shines like the Star of Bethlehem steel Clamouring to understand the techniques of worker manipulation And win that Delta 88 Respect,Continue reading “RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds):”EVENING MANAGEMENT CLASSES””

ONE SMALL STEP FOR RORY A HUGE LEAP FOR MANKIND: HEALING POST TRAUMATIC WESTIE STRESS DISORDER (PTWSD) I might have revised the title of this chapter to read “ONE SMALL STEP FOR MANKIND A HUGE LEAP FOR RORY”. You may recall in an early chapter I told you readers about being chased around the gardenContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: ONE SMALL STEP FOR RORY A HUGE LEAP FOR MANKIND: HEALING POST TRAUMATIC WESTIE STRESS DISORDER (PTWSD)”
RKS Literature: A Friend of Marlon Brando Comments on His Choice of Friends (Truman Capote)
“….the kind of people he didn’t like-and the kind he did, both-stemmed from his insecurities. His inferiority feelings. Very few of his friends were his equals- anybody he’d have to compete with if you know what I mean. Mostly they were strays, idolizers, characters who were dependent on him one way or another. The sameContinue reading “RKS Literature: A Friend of Marlon Brando Comments on His Choice of Friends (Truman Capote)”
“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: PERFECTING BEGGING SKILLS
PERFECTING BEGGING SKILLS If you truly believed in Canine Lives Matter you would not demean our “persuasive food transference” skills by referring to them as begging. Don’t you ever stop to wonder we beg to make you feel benevolent! You are exercising kindness and compassion towards a “dumb animal”. Who is the dumb animal inContinue reading ““Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: PERFECTING BEGGING SKILLS”
