Happy birthday baby. You are the favorite dessert in my life. Thank you for the smiles and giggles we have shared. I love you.

Peaches,
Our second aniversery celebration of your birthday. How a handyman toilet repair job would win your heart. Thank you for loving me.
- Harris
Garrison Keillor,
So happy to hear you mention comic, Gasoline Alley, on today's Writer's Almanac. Together with Major Hoople, another single-panel cartoon, it was my dear departed Dad's favourite - so, of course, mine too, as I adored him. Both strips were gently funny, warm, human commentaries. Not unlike your own, sir. Cheers.
- Elsie Figworth
Richard and Emily Tollefson,
Happy 25th wedding anniversary, enjoy the show. Love your kids: Jenni, Lance, and Tracie

We know we can trust you while we are down here at the show, take good care of the dog and as Auntie Pam says, "use good judgement."

In Garrison Keillor's latest book, Lake Wobegon native Margie Krebsbach dreams up the idea of a trip to Rome, hoping to get her husband Carl to make love to her — he's been sleeping across the hall and she has no idea why. She finds a patriotic purpose for the journey. A Lake Wobegon boy, Gussie Norlander, died in the liberation of Rome, 1944, and his grave, according to his elderly brother, Norbert, is in a neglected weed patch near the Colosseum...
It's a story of Wogegonians in a strange land, telling stories of kinship and self-revelation — all delivered with Keillor's trademark humor.

From Garrison Keillor:
“When I was 16, Helen Fleischman assigned me to memorize Shakespeare’s Sonnet No. 29, ‘When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state’ for English class, and fifty years later, that poem is still in my head. Algebra got washed away, and geometry and most of biology, but those lines about the redemptive power of love in the face of shame are still here behind my eyeballs, more permanent than my own teeth. The sonnet is a durable good. These 77 of mine include sonnets of praise, some erotic, some lamentations, some street sonnets and a 12-sonnet cycle of months. If anything here offends, I beg your pardon, I come in peace, I depart in gratitude.”
