Description

In thirteen chapters Paul Mullin mixes up a potent cocktail of working, drinking, family and Zen. It all starts-where else?-at the Starting Gate: a country bar in Northern Maryland where the author first started working at the age of thirteen, and where his boss once shot a man dead for trying to rob the local drug store.
