Dear Universe,

If I feel like this now, I must have felt really amazing before, which I suppose means I am lucky:

In August 2018 I decided to go to my 1st ever full Phish festival, which would also be my first show at Watkins Glen (once upon a time, the site of the largest concert in American history), and not far from where I went to college.  Then, with my bags packed and ready to go, I learned from a friend's text message that the show had been canceled due to water treatment issues from a storm.  So I sat at home listening to live rock music.  I cleaned my apartment, took out my A/C, and opened my window and the kitchen so I had a wind tunnel effect going as I stared at the comings and goings of New Yorker's on Broadway.  I also drank beer, wine some nights, and felt pretty disappointed.  I also rediscovered this song below that I hadn't heard much since college.

Now I'm sitting by a fire with a glass of Wild Turkey.  My brother-in-law left some behind from the holidays and said I could have it.  I rarely drink liquor, although I've been experimenting more this past year because I'm acquiring a taste.  When it comes to alcohol, I can take it or leave it, but sometimes it's the perfect medicine for the soul.  So when I do, I prefer whiskey, by a fire, with Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash singing Nashville Skyline's "Girl from the North Country."
