Christine McVie makes carly's cornering fun

Wow, it’s hard to comment delicately these days while working on the non-partisan project of ending torture. I can hear you all now, in the kitchen, recapping last night’s VP debate. I hope you all made wise choices when playing your VP debate drinking games at your apartments on Main Street (drink!) If someone had told you years ago that you’d be excited about a vice presidential debate, wouldn’t you have been confused and concerned that future-you was a huge dork? Dorks we may be, but also total mavericks. 2008 = dramatic!

Sometimes the funnest thing in the world is a watergun fight on pedal boats.

Autumn Songs: I’m sad that the beach is no longer a possible weekend day trip. Just weeks ago, I’d wake up, eat brunch, and go to the beach, without giving it a second thought or a moment’s planning. The temperature is dropping, a nip in the air is picking up, and the trajectory of the season is beginning to feel set in stone. And I miss the warm sense of possibility that comes with summer, and off-hand trips to the beach. October has its own magic, of course, in red wine, pumpkins, changing leaves, soothing breezes, stylish jackets, and a childlike sense of wonder. (Try not to get a cold.) Last week I emphasized the role of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks in the career-exploding of Fleetwood Mac. I was right. But! I wouldn’t want to neglect Christine McVie, another vocalist/songwriter in the band, who also wrote a lot of totally awesome FM songs, including this one. She’s so unsung! She makes carly’s cornering fun.
