Welcome to the Thanksgiving Week edition of Saturday Ramblings. This is your chief turkey rambling toward mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes (with marshmallows, of course), dressing, corn, and green beans with those crunchy things on top. (Save the green beans–just give me an extra helping of the crunchy things!) So, as we all do our tummy-stretchingContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 11.19.11”

Saturday Ramblings 11.12.11
Well, as they say, the frost is on the pumpkin. Ok, I don’t know who “they” are, or where they keep their pumpkins. Any pumpkins not smashed in the middle of my street by costumed tricksters are rotten anyway. Why would frost settle on a rotten gourd? Now that we have that out of theContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 11.12.11”

Hi-ho, fellow ramblers. It is I, your trusty news broadcaster, back from a recent trip to the local Shady Rest for some tests on the ol’ ticker. It ticks still. The nurses were nice—until, that is, I started arranging wheelchair races. I thought the “Southcrest 500” had a nice ring to it. I suppose theContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 11.5.11”

So, Game 6 of this year’s World Series. What a game! Can you believe it? It was such a tense nail-biter that it actually gave our regular rambler Jeff Dunn a bit of a heart condition, so he had to galumph over to the local hospital for observation. Currently his ticker is lub-lubbing alongContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 10.29.11”
Saturday Ramblings 10-22-11
Greatings, iMonks, to the weekly ritual where we clean up the messes left around the iMonastery. Hey—you can’t make a ham-and cheese omelet without cracking a few eggs, grilling up some ham and grating some cheese. Writing all of that has made me hungry. So while y’all are perusing the eggs we’ve cracked for this morning’sContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 10-22-11”

The temperature was a very crisp but pleasant 52 when I went out this morning. Apples line the produce shelves at the grocery. Football is, well, how ’bout them Sooners? Welcome to the falling leaves edition of Saturday Ramblings. This is a time of the week when we sift through the leftovers to see whatContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 10.15.11”

The Tulsa State Fair is underway, which means two things. No one has yet figured out that Tulsa is not a “state,” and you will breathe more secondhand cholesterol there than the rest of your life combined. Not exactly pining for a Krispy Kreme burger or a slab of fried butter this year, I passedContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 10.8.11”

October? It’s October already? Spring Training just ended, didn’t it? What happened to my beloved Reds? What? Really? Sigh…ok…welcome to the Cincinnati Reds-less baseball playoffs edition of Saturday Ramblings. Grab your mitt and get ready to ramble. Oh my. Not only is it the baseball postseason, it is the wackiness known as presidential campaign time.Continue reading “Saturday Ramblings 10.1.11”
Saturday Ramblings 9.24.11
I feel like a kid in a candy shop. This week’s cornucopia of stories is perhaps the best ever. I’m serious that I cannot make this stuff up. Alert iMonk readers sent me emails this week with many of these stories, and I am so thankful. We have unisex squid, cowboy monks, a money-saving web site calledContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.24.11”
Saturday Ramblings 9.17.11
As it does most weeks, Saturday has once more arrived here at the iMonastery. We work very hard all week long. So hard, in fact, that we need one day just to sweep up. The broom gathers stories we just didn’t have time to comment on throughout the rest of the week, and before weContinue reading “Saturday Ramblings 9.17.11”
