Pardon me if I am a bit distracted as I ramble today, iMonks. I am celebrating Basketball Christmas as I write this. Yes Virginia (and Washington, D.C.), there is a Santa Claus, and his name is Florida Gulf Coast, my new favorite college basketball team. I love upsets, especially by teams that, before the tournamentContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 3.23.13”

Well, iMonks, it has been a very interesting week, has it not? We have a new leader of the church. We also have a new pope. Confused? So were those who selected the Final Four bracket. You ought to see the winner they came up with. And tomorrow—well, tomorrow is a day we all celebrateContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 3.16.13”

I’m tired, iMonks. Very tired. Bone tired. Tired in every way tired. I’m too tired to come up with my usual sidesplitting, hilarious opening paragraph. I know this comes as a great disappointment to you, but I’m sure you will forgive me once we get to the end and you see the great bonus videoContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 3.9.13”

Goodness gracious, iMonks. Do you know what today is? It’s the second day of March. March! As the saying goes, if March comes in like a, um, bear, it will go out like a hamster. Or something like that. March is the time of madness, when brackets are filled in and hair is pulled out.Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 3.2.13”

Welcome to the holiest of all days, the last Saturday in February. Why is today so special? It is the annual Holland Hall Book Fair. What, you ask (if you could ask me), is the HHBF? It is a used book sale to support a private school in Tulsa. Is the school in trouble financially?Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 2.23.13”

Greetings, earthlings. Looks like we survived yet another brush with destiny. And asteroid with a name like DA14 drove by the neighborhood, but decided not to stop in to visit, unlike the meteorite that moved in like a loud-mouthed brother-in-law in Russia early yesterday morning. If we were going to be destroyed by an asteroid,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 2.16.13”

Greetings, iMonks. Welcome once again to our weekly gathering we like to call Saturday Ramblings. We tiptoe through the TULIP, or through the daisies (for those who are not of the Calvinist bent), trying not to get our feet wet or dirty so we don’t track mud in the iMonastery. I come bearing a giftContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 2.9.13”

Ramblings is hearing rumblings of some big to-do down in the Big Easy this weekend. Once again, we have not paid the NFL (the No Fun League) the rights fee in order to say the name of this Really Big Game. So we will continue our tradition, started by Adam Palmer, of sliding one letterContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 2.2.13”

The week that was is no more, and the week that is to come has not yet. But for some reason, the kitchen is really a mess right now. So before the week that isn’t becomes the week that was, and before I tackle a stack of dirty dishes, what say we sally forth intoContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 1.26.13”

It’s that time of week once again. Time to do a little sprucing up here at the iMonastery. Many hands make … uh, it easier to play the piano? it necessary for many gloves? There’s a saying in there somewhere, but I just can’t find it. Light work. That’s it. Many hands make light work.Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 1.19.13”
