The Hump Day Hiatus may be a little late, but by my clock it’s still Wednesday. Still Hump Day. And so, here is this week’s video hiatus for you. It made me wonder: how can Earth be swarming with so many cultures, and riddled with so much intolerance? So much sublime beauty and so much ugliness? So many deserts and …
PSA of the Week
DID YOU KNOW? Babies who drink soda have a much better chance of “fitting in” during those awkward teenage years. Laboratory tests prove it. So start your baby on a strict regimen of sugary carbonated beverages as early as possible for a lifetime of guaranteed happiness. And if baby won’t drink her milk, mix it in equal parts with 7-Up. …
I Love Monday
Communication is a wonderful thing. Clarity is also splendid. Conversation is enjoyable. To quote Tony the Tiger, they’re great, all of them. They’re also a bit of a challenge sometimes. Even best friends sometimes miscommunicate, and husbands and wives who think they can finish the other’s sentences are well advised not to. Because for every good thing that can be …
Church Chat
To follow up on last week’s sermon, a bit more about diatoms. They are actually microscopic algae that encase themselves in intricate glass shells. They have been called the most successful organism on earth: they live by the gazillions in every ocean. They are also responsible for about one-fourth of all photosynthesis on Planet Earth, thanks in part to their …

Music Thursday
I don’t smoke marijuana, but if I did I wonder if I would like this better for the music, or the visuals? Inside Me ( Nils Frahm – Me Rework) from Dmitry Zakharov on Vimeo.
Hump Day Hiatus
Or is it Hump Day Hiatii? Because today you can choose from two splendid offerings, both well worth your time. Option 1 is the latest incarnation of an on-going Hump Day Hiatus theme, that being this utterly spectacular planet. Today’s slice of paradise comes from Norway. I can have you there and back in five and a half minutes, but …
PSA of the Week
Proper nutrition is important for all of us, but especially for young children. Many people think it’s difficult to get kids to eat all the good stuff: broccoli, asparagus, spinach, peas, green beans, et cetera. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It’s very, very simple.

I Love Monday
I love trains. There’s no getting around it. I wish I lived in a country where train travel was routine, or even in a city where commuting by train was possible.
