Race to the Altar: With four weeks to go before a statewide vote on same-sex marriage, a study has found that 3,800 gay couples are marrying each month in California.

Hillary Hangover: I'm sooooo into Barack Obama now (I admire him greatly and cannot wait until he's sworn in as our next president). But even so, why does this article just reassert my old feelings that Hillary Rodham Clinton is the one with all the answers to the problems this country is facing right now? I'm glad Obama's listening, but still. (NYT)

Gut Instincts: Adults should aim to get in 2 1/2 hours of exercise a week and children should run and play for at least an hour a day, according to new exercise guidelines issued by the U.S. government on Tuesday.

RIP: Charles Wright, who wrote three autobiographical novels about black street life in New York City between 1963 and 1973 that seemed to herald the rise of an important literary talent but who vanished into alcoholism and despair and never published another book, died on Oct. 1 in Manhattan. He was 76 and lived in the East Village. A sad ending to a fascinating life. (NYT)
