It has been a rather slow week here at the iMonastery. Chaplain Mike and Mule Chewing Briars baked cookies. The women spent their time complaining practicing for the iMonk flag football team. Me? I kept busy sewing uniforms and cleaning cookie sheets. An abbot’s work is never finished. Now it’s time to relax with aContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.24.13”

Good morning, iMonks. How is your coffee? Want another sweet roll? Here, let turn the page of the newspaper for you. Comfy? Good. Now, wake up from your dream and grab a broom.

Saturday Ramblings 8.3.13
So I walk into my local Hobby Lobby this last week and see they have Christmas decorations stacked to the ceiling. I see the manager, and tell him just how wrong this is. He agrees. But there you have it. Christmas in July, indeed. And now it is August. Next thing you know, people willContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 8.3.13”

How was your week, iMonks? Here at the iMonastery we have have had a busy week chopping vegetables, peeling fruit, baking bread, and … and … whatever you do to meat. Grill. We grilled meat. And all of this chopping and peeling and baking and grilling has left quite a mess around the place. SoContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.27.13”
Saturday Ramblings 7.20.13
It has been a busy week here at the iMonastery. Here is what has not happened. We have not, along with what once was a decent Midwest city, declared bankruptcy. We have not delivered the royal baby. We have not been spying on our fellow iMonks’ email or cell phone calls. And we have notContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.20.13”

You need to read fast today, iMonks. Do not linger over your computer too long this morning. Why not? Well, because you only have four shopping days left until my birthday on Wednesday. I expect the trucks will start lining up by Monday to deliver all of my gifts. And if you are buying meContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.13.13”

Hi iMonks. Welcome to our week’s end, a time when we gather to spruce up the iMonastery after a busy week of … a busy week of … ok, well, maybe it wasn’t all that busy. But we did make a mess nonetheless, and now is the time to grab a broom and sweep upContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 7.6.13”
Saturday Ramblings 6.29.13
It has been a week, iMonks. We hit triple digits for the first time this summer here at the Tulsa wing of the iMonastery. People will say, “But it’s a dry heat.” Yes, and so is my oven, but I don’t like to hang out there. The older I get, the more thankful I amContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.29.13”
Saturday Ramblings 6.22.13
Buckle your seat belts, iMonks. Today’s Ramblings will be fast and curious, with lots of twisty roads and some unseen bumps to navigate. Please don’t throw your trash out the window, and don’t eat in my car. I don’t like French fry wrappers shoved under the seat. If you all behave, maybe I’ll stop atContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.22.13”
Saturday Ramblings 6.15.13
Hot enough for you, iMonks? Summer arrived here at the iMonastery this week. Mule Chewing Briars, being the new boy here, had to bum some sun screen from Chaplain Mike, while Adam Palmer protected his delicate skin by borrowing Martha’s umbrella. First Lady Denise just shook her head at all of the silliness. Me? IContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 6.15.13”
