after disengaging the hand brake.

I rocked the tire back and forth until it broke loose with a nice
SPOOIIINGGG.

Drove off to work as usual - no problems.  (knock on wood dash -- if I had
it)

So . . . Any ideas what I should investigate that might cause such
behavior?

Sure.  Rust.  All that water on the brake shoes and drum, setting the
parking brake overnight and voi la, stuck brake.
