From the Editor:
“Tried axe throwing last weekend, and I may have found my calling. It’s a strange kind of therapy, hurling axes at targets—but hey, it works. Highly recommend grabbing a beer after, though. Apparently, that’s how the pros wind down.”
Until Next Time
Stay sharp, gents, and remember—life’s too short for bad whiskey.
