After getting back from a brilliant run this evening - about 8 miles - I ate my fifth meal of the day and watched Andy Murray struggle through his fourth round Wimbledon match. Britain goes tennis wild for two weeks a year, which is sad, but I've definitely remembered this week how much I've always loved tennis. Wish my boy Pete Sampras was still around. Ha.
Having a cup of decaf tonight and listening to Michael Jackson's 'Dangerous'. I've had that album since I was eight years old, thank-you very much. I'm not one of this band-wagon fans. Not hard to believe that MJ is number one in this country again. Just kidding, the King of Pop should be celebrated.
I worked on a 16-page special edition magazine on MJ's life for the Sunday Herald last Friday. It's unreal- definitely framing that one. Almost had a chance to see the opening of 'Thriller' the musical today at Glasgow's Theatre Royal, but was out on another job taking photographs in the south of the city, enjoying an afternoon in the +25 'heat wave'.
Get on the sun 'cream' kids - if you're in Britain that is. Imagine it's that hot period in Calgary just now, prior to the rain of Stampede and the hail/thunder storms of July. Enough about me...Goodnight...

Articles of the day:
A- Murray Mania, or so I'm calling it, has hit Britain. Funny, he's always been just a Scottish tennis player, but as soon he has a chance at Wimbledon the English love him. British if he wins, Scottish if he loses. Sunday Herald Opinion.
B- Indie film fests still rule Europe. If in Prague, this is the kind of stuff perfect daytrips are made of.
C - I think I'm almost ready to go to India. Still feel like I would be a naive westerner, but someday soon. Sometimes I think I learn best by humming along to the same song of whoever I find beside me - the world over. Nightwalking for worship in Mumbai.
"Let slumbering Mumbai fool you with her quietude. She is exhausted by the heat and noise of the day.
Her men, all joints and angles, sleep on flat-topped walls.
Her rats frolic in the days leftovers. Watch, there is the perennial sleeping security guard."
D - Al Jazeera coming to Canada? Much welcomed by me, but tough for the CRTC.
That's all for me tonight. Thanks for the comments, thanks for sharing Goodnight. Daniel.

As Calgary's cool mornings shift to warmth, time to get logged on as a real follower. So I looked up 'blether' and want to steal it from you. Everyone should have that one delicious noun that describes a current life episode. You'll be hearing from me. Soon as I line up my cups of coffee.
