One of the best people I have met through this running thing. Nanna.

We met in Amsterdam. She was the epitome of cool; friendly, warm and welcoming.

Nanna is a shining star, she someone who shares, teaches, encourages and inspires me.

Big up mama NBRO.

From Delsarte System of Oratory (1893).

How to read eyes in the late 19th century. Gonna compare with this modern empathy test.

I love this. Delsarte is a minor character in my new novel, a dramatic arts teacher to my opera singer narrator. He used charts like this to teach actors how to make facial expressions the audience could read from the stage.

Meanwhile, to my amazement, I… have an Amazon pre-order page, almost a year out. But here we go.

It will is on view at the Nasher Museum in North Carolina through July 21 2013.

How to live well and die old - Run Dem Crew - innocent inspires

I watched this video of my friend & found of RunDemCrew Charlie Dark talking about how to live.

The bit about online friendships really hit a nerve. I recently un-followed someone on twitter after realising that despite what I thought and believed we were not really friends.

It also reminded me that I should always check on those that have been there and continue to be there in my life. To that end I am going to Italy to visit my friend who moved away from London. It has also encouraged me to make those changes I need to make with my family.

From Charlie:

“As part of the Innocent Inspires series I was invited down to speak alongside Olympic Gold Medalist and Explorer James Cracknell and Dr Pixie McKenna from the TV Show ‘Embarrassing Bodies’. Check me waxing lyrical on the virtues of running, the crew and what an active lifestyle can bring to your life. Thanks to Innocent for getting us involved and look out for future events in the series coming soon.”

“When Sports Illustrated assigned me a story about a young boxer, Cassius Clay, I had never heard of him. I showed him my underwater pictures of water-skiing to impress him that I had done a story for Life. I went to the motel where he was staying, and there he was in the swimming pool going through his workout. He was doing a hook and a jab, and I could see the bubbles. I said to him, ‘That’s fantastic because I see your fists going through the water, like my water-skiing pictures.’

“And he said to me, right back, ‘Oh, I’ve always done this. An old trainer up in Louisville told me that if I practice in the pool, the water resistance acts just like a weight.’ It all sounded plausible to me.

“When I called the editor at Sports Illustrated, he thought I was crazy for taking pictures of a boxer in a swimming pool. So I called Life magazine, and they liked the idea. In those days, Life loved to beat out its sister publication on a story, so I went back to take pictures in the pool.

“I had to wear a pair of his boxing shorts because I had forgotten my swimming trunks that day. I put on my scuba gear and got several shots of him practicing different punches in the water. Then I turned around, and there he was, standing on the bottom of the pool. I mean, that’s very hard to do, and he’s in a perfect boxing pose. So I swam over real quick and I got about six pictures of him. He was holding his breath all this time and not making any movement. The only regret I have is, when Life ran the story, they didn’t select that picture. More people have requested that picture worldwide than any single picture I ever shot.

“Three years later, after Cassius Clay won the heavyweight boxing championship and changed his name to Muhammad Ali, I went back to photograph him again. We were looking through a scrapbook, and when he came across my underwater pictures he winked at me. I realized he had taken me. I learned later he and his trainer had come up with the whole story on their own. He didn’t even know how to swim. He fooled me, he fooled a Life reporter, he fooled everybody-and it made fantastic pictures. It showed me what a brilliant guy he was, even at 19. He thought up an idea I would swallow. But I’m really proud of the whole thing.”

This is how I spent Sunday night, listening to this music and making this mix.
Come and spend Sunday with me.

It jumps from old soul to new RnB, across to the Electro Soul of Jono Mccleey to some great singers who just saaaang it.

Best bit of making this mix was listening to Aaron Livingston over and over again, he has a lush voice. You can buy the track I play in this mix on his bandcamp page

I leave you with Chaka
