Your midweek hiatus is served

While you’re on hiatus for a few minutes, I hope you’ll take the time savor this fine short documentary film. It’s about a great man, but a man you’ve never heard of. It’s about adapting, about contributing, about being a human being, the human family, about compassion, about living today with everything today brings along for the ride, even when …

PSA of the Week

It has been said that the human body, properly cared for, will last a lifetime. Abuse and mistreat it, on the other hand, and it will also last for a lifetime. In other words, your mileage may vary.

I Hate Monday

There is nothing quite like portion distortion, a fact I learned the hard way. Once upon a time, when I was considerably less nutritionally savvy, I got in the habit of grabbing a quick on-the-go breakfast: Kellogg’s Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts.

It was filmed in Norway where, as in my native Sweden, summer lasts for about a week and a half. The song, “Grown Up,” is by Norwegian singer Emilie …

This Is Life

For this week’s edition of the celebrated Hump Day Hiatus we present this short film by We Should Be Working (how apt) entitled Life. It’s about, oh, it’s about four minutes long or so, and features one camera, two actors, and screen credits for probably two hundred people. It’s apparently presented as a metaphor for life.

I Hate Monday

I hate it when my typewriter goes on the blink and won’t write good sentences – or even come up with good ideas. Maybe I need a new ribbon. . .

If I could make my living as a painter, I would feel like I had achieved nirvana. Or forget the money altogether. If I never sold a single …
