6) To celebrate your 1 year anniversary!

Interview on The Jim Richards Show

One of P.T. Barnum's best known quotes: I don't care what you say about me, just spell my name right!

I think "Strokes" is close enough to Stoakes, don't you?...Click here for the Jim Richards interview.

How To Hire A Shoe Cobbler

Ok, here goes. Here are the 3 fool-proof tips you need to know when hiring a shoe cobbler.

1) Does the cobbler's shop look like it has been in business for more than 100 years?

2) Does the hunched over man behind the counter have white hair and look like he has been working in the shop for 150 years?

3) Are the cobbler's hands nubbed to the bone and blackened past his wrists?

If you answered yes to all three of these questions then you found yourself a damn good cobbler and you should do everything in your power to keep this man and his family in business. They are a dying breed to be treasured. And I fear most won't take notice until the best are gone...

Poem: Butterfly

Butterfly on the window sill
carry me away
lift me to places I can not see
hold me tight
show me the stars and the moon
carry me away
but be careful not to let me burn by the sun
I don't want to ride into the Sun


[I wrote this poem on June 17th 2002; I just came across it so I thought I would publish it on Stoaked!]
