Y’know when the last time I smoked weed was? June 22nd, 2005. Not long after that I won a bid for a new job, and when I went in for my physical they mistakenly administered a drug test. When the results came back positive for marijuana the company couldn’t exactly turn the other way in light of the results, regardless of the test being completely unnecessary. So I got put on the random testing circuit and was put through “treatment.” It sucked. For about a two year period I was subjected to drug tests monthly, sometimes even more often. Even though now it’s only every now and then, I am quite aware that it’s been three years, one month and eight days since the last time I got high.
Why am I telling you this? Because the entire time I spent listening to droning doom act Moss’s second full-length Sub Templum (three times in a row!) all I wanted to do was spark up a bowl. Instead I opted for Lagavulin 16 Scotch whisky from the island of Islay. The distillery sits right on the coast and captures fresh peat moss as the waves crash against the brick structure. One of the richest flavored Scotch whiskys, you can really taste the peat and distinct iodine flavorings along with the fermented grains. It’s one of my favorites. I plowed through over half a bottle.

I am currently in the midst of a signing tour for my latest book, PURE MURDER.
