I was up at 6 this morning. I went to the market to buy, cucumbers, peaches, bread and sliced meat for breakfast. ROB GOT UP, ATE AND WENT BACK TO BED. It is 10 now and very bright and sunny and becoming a hot day. I am sitting outside on the patio with the lastContinue reading “Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: 9July1971: Hvar Island, Yugoslavia: A STARK NAKED MAN SMOKING A PIPE!”

Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog: The Final Cut: Reggie’s First Christmas: Chapter Fifteen
Should a dog that prays to Allah believing in his vast powers be celebrating Christmas? I am uncertain but my heart dictates if we all accept some divine presence there is no reason a Muslim dog could not celebrate Christmas. Both Jesus and Allah helped people so why not celebrate their lives but again IContinue reading “Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog: The Final Cut: Reggie’s First Christmas: Chapter Fifteen”

Everything is settling down nicely with Bob, Fay, Dillie, Karim and me REGGIE! It is cold outside.

RKS 2024 Wine: Ontario Merlot and a Glutton for Punishment
As a single varietal Ontario Merlot rarely shines. Jazz it up with lots of oak then it just might work. But being a glutton for punishment I try yet another Ontario Merlot. You know that priest in the DaVinci Code that self flagellates well that might be akin to me drinking a good Ontario Merlot.Continue reading “RKS 2024 Wine: Ontario Merlot and a Glutton for Punishment”

There is a chance I can getContinue reading “Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: 3March1970: Frankfurt, Germany”
RKS Literature: Renewed Life with The First High-Ball of the Day (F. Scott Fitzgerald)
“Only for a brief moment every day in the warmth and renewed life of a first high-ball did his mind turn to those opalescent dreams of future pleasure-the mutual heritage of the happy and the damned. But this was only for a little while. As he grew drunker the dreams faded and he became aContinue reading “RKS Literature: Renewed Life with The First High-Ball of the Day (F. Scott Fitzgerald)”

RKS 2024 Film: “Come Lie with Me” (Arrête avec tes mesonges): The Torture of Remaining in the Closet
I take issue with the translation of “Arrête avec tes mesonges” which in my French means “stop with your lies” far more appropriate than “Come Lie with Me” given the path and plot of the film. You see Stéphane Belcourt (Guillame de Tonquédec) is a gay novelist who is quite out of the closet. OnContinue reading “RKS 2024 Film: “Come Lie with Me” (Arrête avec tes mesonges): The Torture of Remaining in the Closet”
