Today’s Hump Day Hiatus is in honor of my wife. I put her on a plane today to fly to California to spend a week with her dad and brother. Wish I was with her. Enjoy it in full screen mode!
A PSA for the ages
Smartphone PSA from Jesse Rosten on Vimeo. Yes, boys and girls, smartphones are wonderful. They’re stupendous. They’re amazing. They’re revolutionary. And they’re just plain old useful. But the time to be on them is not while driving, while walking through the mall, while dining with friends, while standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon or among the sequoias, or …
I Love Monday!
Do you know how I spell relief? R-E-L-I-E-F!!! I experienced it today. I had an appointment with one of the doctors who treated me for cancer about ten years ago. Once you have cancer you are never again free of two things: 1. More or less lifetime follow-up appointments, and 2. Worry. Anything that doesn’t feel absolutely perfect makes you …
It’s time for Pet Therapy
It’s actually past time. Way past time. Please enjoy.

Cancel that. 1,250,000,000 chicken wings TODAY alone. That’s 1.25 billion wings. And that’s not to mention the beer, the pizza, the dip, and the chips. No wonder the …
Music Therapy
No, Ginger Baker, legendary rock and roll drummer for the legendary rock and roll band Cream is not dead. He might look like it sometimes, and as you’ll see in this epic video, he smokes – never a good thing to do at any age, let alone 75 – but he’s alive and kicking it, here with a jazz trio …
Take a Hump Day Break
This is a little thing we do every Wednesday in this spot called the Hump Day Hiatus. It’s a completely different excursion every week: it might be a journey to Nepal one week, Borneo the next, then a visit to an abandoned building in Detroit or, as in the case of today’s adventure, a refreshing jaunt to Missouri. Granted, travel …
I Love Monday
There is nothing worse than the dreaded sports analogy being employed in random fields that have no connection with sports. But if you happened to see the Green Bay, Seattle football game yesterday, you would have to agree the game screams for applications in such areas as patience, perseverance, and dogged determination. In short, never give up. To put the …
