Nailed It

I don't know how ya''ll feel about Garrison Keillor, but I have a bit of a soft spot for the man. I don't know if it is the odd grate of his yet-still soothing voice, or his white knuckled grip on things that many of us no longer even realize we miss, such as radio shows. Maybe it is that I was granted the oh-so-coveted (in my mind) spot of attending a local college football game with my favorite teacher the year after I was in his class and he listened to NPR and Prairie Home Companion on the drive back that evening. No matter, Keillor's  quiet observations often wow me.

As did this column he wrote for Salon today:
