As far as I can recall, I&#8217;ve always liked this song. And I <i>really<\/i> like looking at Stevie Nicks circa 1981, but I suppose that goes without saying.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, for whatever reason, this turned out to be the perfect tune for a comfortably chilly afternoon with an iron-gray sky overhead and wet, faded-gold leaves whipping around my ankles as I walked and remembered things that once made me sad but recently seem to have lost some of their power over me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And on that note, I&#8217;m calling it a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a grey and gloomy day here in the SLC &#8212; by mid-afternoon, it felt in my office like it was past dinnertime already, because the light was so dim outside &#8212; but it&#8217;s not too terribly cold, a combination that always puts me in a strange, difficult-to-describe frame of mind.
