The Tradeoff: Bullet Edition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I realized yesterday I haven’t posted on Twitter in over a month. I barely look at it anymore. So why was I keeping it? To promote your books. Well, that doesn’t work. To keep up with some people. They can find me elsewhere. Okay, I’m out of reasons. Good. Delete. I also haven’t posted on Instagram much, but I still like to see all the cool stuff there. Awesome pictures, funny reels, news about things I like (tequila, cigars, bikes, cooking, cowboy hats, etc.), so I don’t think I’ll ever shut th

I like to call it Screaming Eagle Backflip Karate Kick HI-YAH! but that’s not it. The Strava map has it like the title. What is it? My nemesis. A climb, not really a hill because there’s no descent on the other side, that always defeats me when I’m on my bike. Usually it comes near the end of a ten-mile path I take, and even after four years of biking it, I still can’t make it up in one go most of the time.

Mayhem in the Midlands was a very cool, small conference in Omaha that ran for a pretty good number of years. For Victor and I, it was a good excuse to see our buddy Sean Doolittle, who lived there.

So we hit it off.At some point after all the panels, we were sitting around the hotel bar, some big table where a couple of writers were holding court. Craig excused himself for the restroom. After a few minu

Let’s get the tequila review out of the way. On my birthday last week I did four things: 1) saw Mutiny, the latest Jason Statham beat ‘em up flick, 2) I got my cowboy hats, 3) I ate at Olive Garden, and 4) I bought a new bottle of tequila. I didn’t think I would be doing so, but I finished my Alma de Jaguar Nocturna (high-proof blanco, one of the best bottles I’ve ever had) the week before and had an empty spot on the bar. I was very surprised to find Siembra Alteno (I can’t make the little acce
DIY: The Final Frontier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This story from Cazcanes Tequila about the guy who founded the brand finding Humberto Alverado, a DIY master distiller making “agave spirits” in the jungle outside of the strict regulations imposed by the Mexican CRT (Tequila Regulatory Council)…this story gets to me. Of course Cazcanes couldn’t just take what Humberto was doing and say “That’s the product.” They had to scale up, make it a real business. But they still put out Humberto’s “jungle juice” as a special edition every year. Take a loo
