Mom and Dad,
The babysitter you left fell asleep. Don't pay her too much. By the way, do we have an uncle Jack in Penn. ? He says he's out of money, so I sent him your credit card number and the babysitters wallet. Hope you're having fun, and no, I'm not getting into trouble.

Mom and Dad,
Happy anniversary to the two most stubborn liberals in Fairfield County. Love your kids.
- Katie, Rob, Mike and Mary
To my wonderful husband Mike,
Happy Birthday to you on the first of many 29th birthdays. You're too young to be complaining about being so old. Really, just because you have hair in places it is not commonly found, your metabolism is slowing down and you tire easy, that's no reason to whine about being old! It's been a wonderful 505 days being married to you!
- The Wife
Mom Amber and Dad Karl,
Don't worry about me during your big night out from Armstrong, Iowa. Uncle Scott taught me how to reformat a hard drive and Barckley gave me a tongue bath.
- Baby Alice, 2 months-old
D,
Happy 65th Birthday! We're glad to see that you didn't wear your duck-taped shoes to the show. Love Always!

Sign up here for our weekly e-pistle about what's happening at A Prairie Home Companion! Heck, while you're there, sign up for the daily e-mail from The Writer's Almanac too
A national holiday in Lake Wobegon is always gaudy and joyful. But what is going on between Clint Bunsen and Miss Liberty?
Everyone is here—Pastor Ingqvist, the Sons of Knute, Sister Arvonne of Our Lady of Perpetual Responsibility and her ocarina band, the Norwegian bachelor farmers, Dorothy and the Chatterbox Café, Wally in the Sidetrack Tap—as crowds converge on the little town to celebrate American independence, even as the chairman of the event broods on the great question of the day: Shall we struggle on valiantly here or shall we burst the bonds and find beautiful life in the golden west?
|
Scripts and bits from A Prairie Home Companion celebrate the secret society of men and women who possess excellent spelling and punctuation skills. (You know who you are.)
Selections include "The Six-Minute Hamlet," a tribute to Emily Dickinson, a Guy Noir adventure that exposes an MFA scam, a riveting "Professional Organization of English Majors" drama, and guests Billy Collins, Robert Bly, Roy Blount Jr., and Calvin Trillin.
