Lear knew he was getting on in his years and asked his daughters Goneril, Regan and Cordelia for their proclamations of love so that they may deserve an inheritance. Cordelia takes the moral high ground by being sincere and in her sincerity she had nothing really to say, since it would not come from the [...]

It was cold today; snowing outside. I had to wait to get my car repaired, so I ducked into a nearby library in a part of Etobicoke I knew nothing about. This was the second smallest library in Etobicoke, I was told; one that was small and cold. “Is the cold always like this?” I [...]

Nobody knows I’m a dog. I’m pretty quick with my paws and can come up with a few zingers in a hurry. Of course, if they knew a dog logged on and wrote this, no one will believe it. So, go ahead and think that I am a human. For the record, my human is [...]

I am a single white male poodle (SWMP) looking for a member of the opposite sex. A female poodle (SFP, any color is desirable) interested in chasing cars and bicycles would be nice. She must enjoy long strolls through parks and bumming food from strangers. You can have your own dog bowl. If interested, sniff [...]

I was writing about a fictional person named Denise in the “Temptation” entries, who resembles someone I know in real life. I don’t know why I chose the name. It’s just the way it came out. Somehow, it doesn’t reveal her essence. I could have named her Suzanne, because she reminds me of Leonard Cohen’s [...]

There is a certain set of color values somewhere in the visible spectrum that do not seem to have a category. These colors seem to go with nothing in your house, and do not seem to come from anything in nature.
The commonest of the ugly colors appear to be (by their RGB values — it [...]

Denise and I talked about the time we hugged, and I asked about her hugging back. She said that when she was among members of her church group, they would hug, and for a while she didn’t hug back. After a while, after enough people raised a concern, she began to hug back, but from [...]

The best of Harper’s Magazine over a period of 4 months. For those who have not read Harper’s, it is that dry, stuffy-looking magazine, the source of an occasional howler or two. It is also a source of factoids and weird/random statistics on weird/random things. Almost all of these factoids and “statistic-oids” are re-stated or [...]

Hmm… I am not sure that I would agree that every relationship can be healthy. Just like knowing cheeseburgers are unhealthy doesn’t make them healthy. Similarly, if a person reacts to me in a negative way too often, I don’t think the secret would be to anticipate their negativity and to “socially engineer” only positive [...]

We are all different. Some people have certain properties about themselves that arise from an interplay between genes and environment which confers upon them certain strengths but gives them some vulnerabilities.
This gives us each a unique set of needs arising from our environment, and from its interplay between that and our physical being. Indeed, we [...]

There is a lot in my life that I have left behind when making my life-changing decisions. But ironically, I didn’t leave behind security. I entered it. I left behind an unsustainable life in favour of one that left me on the right track.
I believe on retrospect that my psychiatric visits over a 14 year [...]
