No Pants Required

Last year I penned and published my first book-No Beard or Bowtie Required, Cocktails for the Craft Curious. This accomplishment surprised me more than anyone. Not much motivates me, as advancing age, weight and exhaustion fill me with inertia. The unprecedented coronavirus pandemic ironically aided my goal as an author. The bar I work at closed for many months during the lockdown, compelling me to burn what few calories I do typing away on the couch.



Enough people bought it that I decided to suffer for my art a second time. Here we are two years later and said pandemic refuses to expire. Many bars intermittently lock their doors while their weary patrons recede into their living rooms in fear. So here I am, committing as many of my cocktail creations to paper as my sanity might once again allow.
