Real excited, going to see Garrison Keillor next week and hear tales from Lake Wobegon!From his 'site':
Dear Mr. Keillor,
I just wanted to tell you that you are one of my favorite liberals. I am as far right as you are left - but your show is so special that I can deal with the occasional political cracks. I love that you take us to a simpler time. I think cable news has whipped this country into a tizzy where absolutely everything is made to be so earth-shattering, when in fact the news stations are just trying to fill 24/7 worth of time. I think most Americans can agree to disagree without hating their neighbor. I wish you continued success with your show!
btw, for anyone who prefers a *fat-free* blog, please visit 'the other side of me'... :-)

I've always wanted to see him. Enjoy the show and let us know all about it!
That is great Karen! You know I am from Minnesota and grew up in Woebegone country. (Fictional town, but the geographical references are where I grew up lakes etc.) Oh I am excited for you. Perhaps you can hear a story about Carl. I always loved Carl.
You lucky rascal you.
Have lots of laughs for me too.
Thanks for the link.

And yes, life will go on after the election. Just think-- we will only have 728 days until the November 4, 2008 general election.

Are you kidding - I am SO jealous!! Is he going to be in MI?
carina~ yes, at the Whiting on the 24th!! There still might be tickets available!!
YESSSSS!!
I'm going - yippee! I am a mile from the Whiting...had to track down a "date" - seems everyone I know was either working or going to be out of town that night, I was starting to panic! HIt pay dirt with call number 4....had no idea Cheryl was absolutely nuts about him, so she's coming with me.
Thank you SO much for the heads-up. :)
carina~ yippee backacha! maybe we'll see each other, wouldn't that be kEwL!!
Are you seeing a Prairie Home performance? I saw him about two weeks ago with Robert Altman and Virginia Madsen talking about making the movie. Seeing PHC is still an unfulfilled dream, though.
Carl Bunsen, CJ?
Karen - shoot me an email at travelling.paws@gmail.com if you want to say hi!
doug~ welcome! and, yes, it will be a Prairie Home performance. and thx for the heads up on Carl Bunsen, only thing is, hubby and I only know a Mrs. Bunsen, hmmmmmmm, havta try and figure that one out.

I love listening to Keillor and PHC on Saturday evening, but I think I'll miss it today as I hear there's a ballgame on about that time! :)
