11/12/09 HUEY LEWIS: I WANT A NEW DRUG...
Begin forwarded message:
From: Lewis Makoto caught us on skype mid-froth yesterday after a couple days of stand-up irish kegs.Unfortunately, we'd lost all our best shots to a corrupted memory card. But as you know, Shayne Ferber does not give up easily. (Just ask the Irish lad who witnessed Ferber sideslip over the foamball through a pigdog death-shelf barrell... The irishman paddled back out and commented to me, "Crikey! Your midget just scored an incredible tuberide!") Shayne recovered our data too after downloading contraband German recovery software at the local pub. Here are a few more shots for Makoto.
Don't worry, no photos of me surfing.
Avery, Ryan, Why aren't we there?
yes, I'm making the most of the music scene here in the city, and i did surf fun and peaky lincoln with craig the other night, but its still bitter sweet when your friends send you pics of deserted point breaks from half way around the world.
Shayne and lewis are out there and I'm here. next time. for sure.
I love how, even in a land of rights, lewis manages to find a left, and then convince shayne to surf it.
What a hit for the Canadian agriculture industry.... and for Africa. Way to go, Stephen Lewis... have you fogotten that HIV/AIDS ravaged Africa is also starving? There is so much lost knowledge of agricultural production process through generations lost through the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Its almost surf trip status at the house down here. Living with your friends is always an illuminating experience. I'm on the floor, lewis is on the couch, and Shayne is sleeping on the porch on the blow-up bed.
Avery is the elder elder, exhibiting overly mature behavior in the face of Shayne and lewis' childish/crotchety berating of each other. I'm cooking and gardening, my standard retreat from life's complexities.
It wouldn't be complete if lewis and Shayne weren't arguing about surfing no-existent waves. "if we want to go surf we should have already gone by now."
been cooking in, its coffee and french toast this morning. I have been in town for three days and all I've seen is Thalia street and trestles. And I'm happy about it.
throw away your television. read a book, play music, create art, go outside, do it all.
I've been without for 13 years and I've never missed it. (just don't take away my macbookpro)
Of late I've been buying musical instruments with the idea that the kids will learn by osmosis. Surprisingly its working. Adrian can pound out a good drum intro reminiscent of "burning down the house" and enzo is learning how to pick his way through a song on the guitar. Lewis stopped by on his way home and suddenly there was an impromptu jam session.
its good to be back, and cline was in town, and Dave and Adele were still naive babes in the woods, so lewis and ange had us over for dinner. god i look tired. I need some more sleep.
all it takes is a little drink (or not in adele's case) for everyone to break out their heavy artillery. let the belly wars begin.
"There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven;
but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart
of hearts, we have ever desired anything else.... It is the secret
signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable
want, the thing we desired before we met our wives or made our
friends or chose our work, and which we shall still desire on our
deathbeds, when the mind no longer knows wife or friend or
work.... All your life an unattainable ecstasy has hovered just
beyond the grasp of your consciousness. The day is coming
when you will wake to find, beyond all hope, that you have
attained it." - C.S. Lewis
