Of course it makes sense; cloud squid, whale island, shark kites.  Perfectly sensible.

Alan Chambers.  Amazing survivalist and speaker.

Alan planned, prepared and led the first successful British unsupported walk to the Geographical North Pole from Canada. After immense setbacks, the loss of two team members and extreme frostbite and hunger, the walk on the ice lasted a gruelling seventy days. Faced with near starvation and dwindling fuel supply the team covered 500 miles against the worst polar weather in twenty years. Even though two team members fell through the ice and went blind due to a three week blizzard, they managed to raise the Union Flag on top of the world at 23:16hrs 16th May 2000.

Nothing better than folks playin an abandoned fort.

A few good folky finds from NPR this morning.

DAWES WITH MUMFORD & SONS!

During the 20 year celebration of the World Cafe show from WXPN in Philadelphia, Dawes and Mumford and Sons played together on stage for the first time ever. Watch as they play “When My Time Comes”.

I don’t do this enough, nor do I take it serious enough.  We need to embrace it individually, as well as socially. We like to think we do it collaboratively during timed meetings with agendas, but sometimes it’s best to grab one other person and take a walk.  For some alone time - pack your lunch and go to the nearest park.  If it’s cold outside, head to any quasi-quiet establishment with a bar - coffee bar preferable!  Me, sometimes I just take some solitude at Fred’s Breakfast - with a side of freshly squeezed OJ.
