Your Rambler is in a better mood today. Oh, the Synonymous Rambler and I have been going round and round again, and yes, it was all my fault again (I think), but otherwise it has been a better week. Spring is in the air here in Tulsa (along with mold and polen), which means baseballContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 1.28.12”

Your Rambler is in a bad mood today. I’m tired. I got two hours’ sleep after work Thursday night, then drove to Missouri to see my son graduate from Army Transportation School, then drove back home, only to have him want me to go look at a car with him. Which I am normally gladContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 1.21.12”

Happy day after Friday the 13th! Did you make it through ok? No broken mirrors, no black cats crossing your path? There is a story behind why Friday the 13th has become an evil omen, but I forget it now. I’m sure Martha O’Ireland will remember it for us! (That’s your cue, Martha! Oh, andContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 1.14.12”

Twelve? Did I just type “12” in the headline? I did. It’s 2012 now! Our first Rambling session of the new year. And it’s a doozy. Mr. Bones is back from a long but well-deserved vacation. Adam Palmer checked in with yet another technology as religion story. The Synonymous Rambler went back into hiding. We’veContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 1.7.12”

One more day. One more day in a year that has been, well, shall we say, interesting? We are celebrating the last day of 2011 here at the iMonastery with a day-long party. The ladies all brought spice cake, and the guys put forth mulled wine. Then we all looked at that and said, “WhatContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 12-31-11”

Merry Christmas Eve, iMonks! Lisa has put out the milk and cookies for Santa, Martha and Damaris have hung the stockings by the chimney with care, and the Synonymous Rambler is playing carols on the harpsichord. Meanwhile, Chaplain Mike and Adam are trying to remember all of the reindeers’ names, and Joe Stallard is still tryingContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 12.24.11”

What a busy week it’s been here at the iMonastery. It is like a miniature Santa’s workshop around here! Martha O’Ireland has been busy making fudge with a wee bit of special Irish “juice” in them. Damaris has knitted us all scarfs. Adam is composing a Christmas opera. And Joe Stallard, our erstwhile webmaster, is still tryingContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 12.17.11”

You may have noticed this week’s Ramblings was a bit delayed. It’s not my fault. One of my good friends tempted me with free tickets to a hockey game Friday night when I would normally be writing. How could I refuse? And while Tulsa won—in a shootout, no less—there were no fights. None. I mean,Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 12.10.11”

Wow! It’s December already? Just last week it was November. Next you’ll be telling me it’s 2012. Time is racing by. What say we sit back, relax, take it easy, and enjoy a batching of ramblings we swept up this week? Are you ready to ramble? By the way, Mr. Bones lost his way homeContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 12.3.11”

Are you just waking up from your turkey coma? Or are you just coming off of your shopping high? Then get ready to be brought back to life, real life (at least really funny life) with our post-Thanksgiving version of Saturday Ramblings. By the way, Mr. Bones has the week off to visit his favoriteContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 11.26.11”
