there’s always a physical crash and an emotional comedown after a charity event on the scale of AuthorCon, but never more so than after this, our sixth one.

I know Survivor like other men know NFL, complete with quoting player stats, etc. i am not ashamed of this. Survivor is a much less expensive fandom than footbal

Had I stuck to just bourbon I’d be fine, but got into shots of mezcal and some beers on top of that…
