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 …

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. Do you agree? LIFE …

So what’s going on in your little world today? Whatever it is, take a break – and a peek into these really little worlds. Cool Hunting Video: Thomas Doyle from Cool Hunting on Vimeo.

Hump Day Hiatus

Since it’s hump day, you might be interested in a taking a little hiatus to recharge your batteries and get that all-important second wind to finish the remainder of the week in grand style. To accomplish that, I offer two quite worthy options. First, a kid with an absolutely spectacular outlook on life. He has a rare medical condition he …

HUMP DAY HIATUS

I don’t think any other post in the long and glorious history of the Hump Day Hiatus captures the spectacular beauty of this planet quite as well as this one does. It’s stunning, and begs to be watched in full-screen mode (click play, then on the 4-arrow icon in the lower right corner). The scenes you’re about to see were …

Hump Day Rewind

Want to take a break? This will take you back to a place that seems so recent – 1968 – and yet is a long way off. It seems amazing to think that so recently a person could be legally denied the right to rent an apartment or purchase a home they could afford simply because of their skin color. …

If you didn’t get to take a trip to Times Square for New Years Eve – or if you fell asleep in the La-Z-Boy before the stroke of midnight – we’ve got that cued up for you here: NYE Times Square from The Timelapse Group …

Time for your mid-week break

Better known as the world-famous Hump Day Hiatus, the wildly popular feature where millions of visitors to AugustaRx.com are whisked away to another time, place, or dimension without ever leaving the comfort of their bookshelf-lined, fireplace-equipped, mahogany-paneled drawing room (or dreary cubicle). The shortest day of the year approaches, as does the longest night of the year. Let us now …

Today is Hump Day, ergo a hiatus is in order

As you watch this, you might have the same thought I did: more of us need to be like this little prospector. Instead, lots of people seem to be downright cooperative with the proverbial grim reaper. Speeding behind the wheel, texting while driving, obesity, using tobacco, high fat diets, sedentary lifestyles, etc., all are synonyms for flirting with death. Just …
