HEREWITH: your Hump Day Hiatus

As Hump Day Hiati go, this one is a genuine winner, the complete package: an important message that may very well alter your behavior today and beyond, coupled with a splendid soundtrack of uplifting music.

Here is your Hump Day Hiatus

Take it, please. It’s a brief escape from whatever you’re doing and wherever you’re doing it so you can tackle the remainder of the week on a fresh set of batteries. This time, a place we have visited before: Dubai. What an amazing place has risen from a barren plain of sand and dust.

Ready for a break?

You’ve made it halfway through the week. Don’t you think you deserve a mini mini-vacation? How about this: let’s go somewhere thousands and thousands of miles away and still in the same time zone we are. Yeah, let’s go to Argentina and Patagonia. And let’s be back before breaktime ends.

Par 3 Hiatus

Smack dab in the middle of Masters Week (circle R) in Augusta, let’s take a slightly biased look at the Top Ten Masters moments of all time. When you reach #1, you’ll figure out that this was compiled by Canadian ESPN. And it’s curious that there were evidently no Top Ten moments prior to the mid-1980s. Even so it’s still …
