I always kind of listened to Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac out of the corner of my ear since, as a good JW, I heard they were all a bunch of witches.

Anyway, I enjoyed the hits of Fleetwood Mac on the radio but never bought any albums. (Back when albums were actually made and dinosaurs roamed the earth.)

A few years ago, a local singer covered "Landslide" and I was very moved. I'd never really listened to the lyrics before then. Small restaurant, special occasion. (It was actually to help raise funds for someone's cancer treatment.) Anyway, like so many songs, the lyrics are somehwat ambiguous and, therefore, universal.

i was perusing some older threads today and stumbled across a post by a former regular poster here: tall penguin.. .

she's from canada and da'd in 2005. posted here for a couple years and then stopped, but started up a blog of her own.

i remember reading a couple years ago her heartbreaking story of how close she had gotten to a young girl in her congregation and how she would likely never again have her in her life.. .

Anyway, without giving away any more, here are three links that tell the full story.

(Hint: It has a happy ending, but grab your Kleenex just in case.)

I doubt that Tall Penguin would ever come back here saying "look at me", but these particular chapters of her life are just so compelling I had to post them here and say "HEY EVERYBODY, LOOK AT TALL PENGUIN!!"

Wishing strength and healing to Tall Penguin and "S".
