Welcome back, Sarah!

To borrow a line from someone with a very interesting way of words (my friend’s five-year-old daughter, Tangie), Sarah McLachlan’s newly released CD “Laws of Illusion” is “top of the sundae.” Usually when Tangie says “top of the sundae” it doesn’t make much sense. In this case, however, it’s very much on point. Let me explain… the top of a sundae is the rich chocolate syrup, the whipped cream, the juicy cherry… it’s the most satisfying part, the part that makes the dessert interesting (as if the ice cream alone isn’t good enough), the stuff of which we can never seem to get enough.
