I decide to stay upstate in my hometown with my family another night, and my brother-in-law wants to redeem a gift certificate and get some cognac at Black Dog Wine & Spirits before they close.  So we get there right before closing time, and I pick up a bottle of Old Crow whiskey on a whim, mostly just because my favorite song is still Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show.

Then we head over to our local microbrewery, Argyle Brewing Co., which is in the old train station across from the Cambridge Hotel and down the street from the food co-op my mom ran for a few years.

As we walk in, I hear those unmistakable first chords of my favorite tune...

The previous time I'd come there was a local bluegrass duo on the stage whom I'd happened to meet while dining there in the summer.  It's also a minute's walk from our family friends' home, which I painted in 09 to earn money to travel in India and Asia.
