Before you surrender to pumpkin spice and sweater weather, late summer still has something to say. Senior Contributor Anne Marie Cribbin shares six Celtic-inspired practices for honoring the first harvest, staying present in sobriety and enjoying the season that’s actually here — peaches, cicadas, warm evenings and all.

The Mindful Binge is back, and it's the messiest one we've done all season. It's also the only one we've done all season. Both things are true.

I got my TV ride or dies in one room: Lane Kennedy, Patti Clark from Portugal, and Tamar, who for once picked the show. Three shows, spoilers for everything, each one scored on The Sobees. Fulls and halves only. Lane tried to file a 4.75 and went on strike. Tamar retained counsel. I reminded them I don't pay anyone.

The line I keep coming back to is from the "Running Point" conversation. Cam walks out of rehab, tells everyone he's sober, and buys himself a drug test. You can't buy sobriety. Doesn't matter how much money you have. You can maybe buy a pee test. Lane put it plainer: you gotta put in the time.

Also on the table: Patti on why it's the codependents, not the addicts, she wants to slap (ever so sweetly). Jon Hamm as a "solid ballast." Perimenopause rage and the neighbor's dog. And a three-way disagreement about Elisabeth Moss that I lost.

Scores: "Running Point" S2, 3.5. "Your Friends & Neighbors" S2, 4.5. "Imperfect Women," 3.5. A three feeling is a feeling.

Go listen. Then hit reply and tell me which one we got wrong. One sentence of evidence, please.
