One more cup of coffee

In between my first and second cups of coffee for the day, I was honoured to observe Josh Gunthorp from the Solace Surf Shop shredding on a 5' 9" Neal Purchase Jnr quad with glassed on fins. Board is for sale second hand. Contact Solace.

Labour Day 2011

Missed the 2011 Labour Day marches yesterday because the surf was firing. Big thanks to all the old campaigners who started the idea back in the Industrial Revolution. They believed in the triple eight theory of work and life balance that we all take for granted today - 8 hours for work, 8 hours for family/friends and 8 hours for sleep. Obviously, they didn't spend much time commuting but you get the picture - optimum productivity requires balance.

Escape

Surfing mate who works at an exclusive school told me this story. He was at a very long and very boring annual address by the board of directors in a large auditorium. when a few rows in front, he noticed people starting to giggle. The giggle seemed to snake its way towards him. It turned out that one very conservative looking chap had written the following note which was being passed along the rows and was causing a stir during an otherwise tedious and coma-inducing presentation:

"Am thinking of tunneling out. Who's with me?"

Plan on tunneling out myself tomorrow, so there will be no Monday post. Maybe Tuesday. Depends how far I get before Responsibility calls me back.

PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREA
