“Unfortunately, we’re out of Merlin’s magic herb.”

Present Moment Café isn’t just different from your average fast-food stop. With ingredients like Merlin’s magic herb being the main component of something called the “Magic drink,” it’s not even in the same food chain.

An Eater’s Manifesto
Michael Pollan

by Travis Hill

It’s so terribly simple: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

Zander Morton may not be the most well-known pro surfer from St. Augustine, but he’s the most well-rounded. Even with regional and national competitive success, Morton chose a different path, translating his constant travel into success in surf journalism. Add to that a few side jobs in the industry, plenty of pictures in the magazines (which any pro surfer will tell you pays most of the bills), and a refreshingly humble attitude, and you’ve got one 23-year-old who knows the importance of not placing all his eggs in one basket.

This is an essential skill for St. Patrick’s Day that can be enjoyed all year long.

I know somewhere in the back of my closet, I have a wearable pair of “boots with the fur.” I will admit, from time to time, when at a club, the spirit has moved me to “give that big booty a smack.”
