I was making French toast this morning … yummy! The usual ingredients were present on the counter: eggs, cinnamon, milk, and of course bread. The good stuff too, not day old or cheap bread … the multi grain kind from Milton bread! Spare no expenses when it comes to making this breakfast item! I vowed [...]
My friend Lyn reckons there’s a really simple equation for going surfing – Less Is More. As in, the less you wear, the more waves you get. It’s a cracker isn’t it! That doesn’t mean that she uses it to her benefit though! In fact, the Lyn I know and love works right against it [...]
I’ve lost my mind again among a pile of papers. I can see bits and pieces of it. Part of it with those pages stacked in my inbox and another part with the stack of papers to my left. Yet, still another, small piece of my mind has escaped to the outside. To a world [...]
Thinking positively is a great way to keep your brain alive. Constant negative thinking depresses the mind and goes on to literally depress the immune system. Thinking more positive thoughts is a good way to keep stress down and spur you to take action for a better life.
Don’t try and multitask, it can’t be done: Human brains can only focus and concentrate on one thing at a time, this is a proven scientific fact. While you can most likely handle multiple menial tasks, anything that requires you to concentrate, reason, or decide deserves full focus.
Inside every adult lurks a graduation speaker dying to get out, some world-weary pundit eager to pontificate on life to young people who’d rather be Rollerblading. Most of us, alas, will never be invited to sow our words of wisdom among an audience of caps and gowns, but there’s no reason we can’t entertain ourselves [...]
I recently wrote about my growing concern about the lack of “need” to surf during the last few months, and it is about time that I revisited that notion. It has indeed been over two months since I have paddled out into the great blue yonder on my trusted surfboard, and the oddly persistent itch [...]
On my way to work one day, from not so far away, I watched a chubby college kid with a black sweatband across his head knock knuckles, in passing, with an equally awkward, lanky, dorky, college kid who sported a shaggy, flowing, blond hair. I imagined them saying to each other as they touched fists [...]
Location check? Australia. Surfing at Bondi Beach during this particular visit was a “hit or miss” situation. Maybe there are waves to ride, and then again maybe the wind decides it will create a mushy mix of the pitchy waves … resembling melting marshmallows oozing down towards the sand. Perhaps the almighty sun will come [...]
Q: One of the main detectives on the team was murdered. Who was it? [ Click on the link to find out the answer! ]
Gidget, the teenager who inspired the book, films, and TV show that blew the lid off surfing is now a grandmother. How things have changed! But strangely, surfing has changed very little. It’s still essentially about having fun. Beyond all the hoopla Gidget generated, she was just a 15 year old girl
And so I went surfing at a new surf break recently … new break and new people. Now, I’m already WAY comfortable at my home break, and the people there – so I find myself in a very unfamiliar scene. The break is faster to me, and the surroundings unknown. I am not yet familiar [...]
The news that “Zubbles” has been released has sparked a new sense of excitement in me. This simple product consisting of two layers of soap sandwiching a layer of water (a million times thinner than an inch) has become quite a mind anchor for me … an inspiration to keep hanging on, and to keep forging [...]
This morning I was sitting listening to a talk, when I got distracted by the hem of my jeans. It was slightly turned up, which in the scheme of things means little, but when you are looking for something, anything to occupy you as you politely endure someone else’s rant, it seems significant, so I [...]
Tootsie Roll had a great theme song released to TV audiences in the 70s … here are the lyrics and the YouTube Link to the actual commercial: The world looks mighty good to me, cause Tootsie rolls are all I see. Whatever it is i think I see, Becomes a Tootsie roll to me. Tootsie roll how I [...]
