Embarking on a quest of personal growth coupled with one year (perhaps, longer) no beer (no alcohol). Join me as I work to cut booze and develop new habits in five key areas: Physical Health, Mental Health, Creativity, Career/Learning, & Relationships. Once I get through a year, the payoff is to go adventuring in Patagonia. So please keep tasty, frothy, hoppy, dark, red, full-bodied, barrel-aged, malty and sour beers or fermented beverages away from me. Thanks.
Here’s the promised footage of my brother and I camping and hiking out in the Olympics last week. What a pretty and fun day hike. It was super easy, but definitely had us sweating a bit due to the heat.

Nootropics. They are all the craze in Silicon Valley. Whatever can make you smarter and gives you the edge over your peers. One of the oldest and most credibly researched nootropics is a mushroom known as Lion’s Mane, though it’s official name is one of those hard to pronounce Latin ones that make you sound like an idiot when you try to pronounce it. In fact, Lion’s Mane is not some new nootropic, no, knowing it came but has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for a very long time.
Instead of reinventing the wheel, here’s an article written by the king of mushrooms himself, Paul Stamets, that was published by the Huffington Post in 2017: Lion’s Mane: A Mushroom That Improves Your Memory and Mood?
So, we –being, my girlfriend– grew some, and then we harvested, cooked and mowed them down in some butter, garlic and lemon. I hate mushrooms, but this was dumb fucking good. I’d seriously eat it every day. Here is Part One documenting the process. Enjoy.

Trailer for my upcoming VLOG: To The Summit of Mount Saint Helens
Guaranteed to be less impressive than this cinematic masterpiece.
