A Christmas Story Comes to Life in St. George

A CHRISTMAS STORY COMES TO LIFE IN ST. GEORGE, UT! There are few things that bring me as much joy during the holidays as Bob Clark's masterpiece "A Christmas Story". Perhaps the smiles on my kids' faces as they open up their gifts on Christmas morning, snuggling next to my wife in front of the... [More]

Tricky Treatment

Tricky Treatment

Having been at this strange occupation for well over a decade now, I often find myself quite bereft of juicy subject matter suitable for the discharge of my monthly duty. My wife suggested "Halloween," (assuming, I suppose, that jokes about costumed kiddies taking to the streets in pursuit of free c... [More]

Night Terrors

Night Terrors

This one is dedicated to the memory of St. George Carlin. His albums were the soundtrack to my adolescence and, next to Richard Pryor, he was the second greatest stand-up comic of all time. His passing brought with it the sobering realization that more and more the heroes of my generation are the on... [More]

Give It a West

Give It a West

I'm pretty sure that in an article several years ago I poked a bit of fun at the virtual deluge of new wonder drugs flooding out of the world wide woodwork. True these drugs offer relief from a plethora of human ills, but ironically come with enough "possible" deadly side effects to make seasonal al... [More]

Speak of the Devil

Speak of the Devil

With my kids spending a week with their Grandfolks up North in the bucolic splendor near Park City - I sat in my deserted home and discovered the coolest thing – televisions have an OFF switch! How wonderfully strange it was to have the Disney Channel's relentless bubble gum brainwashing babble sile... [More]

Why why why Delilah?

Why why why Delilah?

If you're anything like me, you really ought to be ashamed of yourself. Only kidding - everybody always says "open with a joke" which, is a good saying as sayings go, it's not in the same league as "Righty Tighty, Lefty Lucy," by any means. But as I‘ve mentioned before, I actually met "Lefty Lucy?"... [More]

Anyway the school part is pretty much over and I've now entered the phase referred to as "clinic." The portion of our educational journey where we set away our pencils and books and wa... [More]

Respect Your Elders

Respect Your Elders

I've recently gone and done something that has left most everyone that knows me in a state of stunned, disbelief. I would have to imagine that many of you envision the Boneman as a somewhat funny, but mostly fuddled old skeeze, transgressing his way through life - a mere bus collision away from eter... [More]

You gotta figure we're living in the last days when gas is pushing 5 bucks a gallon. I mean if you ever wondered why the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse decided not to drive?
