Mary Lee,
When I dropped you off at the airport & the porter took your duffle, you were both grinning from ear to ear. He didn't know you had no cash & you didn't know you had to tip him. Must have been awkward at the ticket counter.
See you on the return trip.
Love, Flexrod
Danny,
For a brief day you brightened my life and made me smile. My only regret is that you got me hooked on Prairie Home Companion. I know you're listening. I Hope I made you smile.
Melissa
Cheryl,
The kids and I are missing you a lot, we'll be at the airport to meet you in a week. The cooking has been conservative, the stove is still in one peice and the kids are alive.
Hope you had fun at your parents 50th wedding anniversery, we've got another 35 odd years to go.
Love you.
Paul
Pappy and Grandma,

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.
