surfin' and drinkin'

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

We just had a great day up at the home of Sara's coworker Jo's parents. We went up last night, I had several home-brew bourbon sours (recipe below), needed to take a Cafergot cos of a mysterious headache that formed at 4 AM, then we headed to the beack. And I had my first surfing lesson from Jo and Sara's coworker, Rob.

It was lots of fun. I never attempted to stand, but caught one wave just right and it took me about fifty metres into the shore. Really quite amazing.

Recipe for Michael's bourbon sour:

1) Get a 'Stoly' (lemon Ruski drink produced by Stolichnaya) and quickly drink 1/3 of it

2) When 1/3 has been consumed, top up with bourbon

3) shake

4) consume

These get better as you go along. Or so it seems, anyway.
