Traci took me to the Garrison Keillor "Rhubarb Tour" at the Red Butte Gardens the other night. I really enjoy, "A Prairie Home Companion." He is simultaneously silly and profound. It was a great night. If you're not familiar with Garrison Keillor, here are some quotes from his radio show.
"Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose. "
"Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known. "
"They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad that I'm going to miss mine by just a few days. "
A fictitious ad for Powdermilk Biscuits, "the biscuits that give shy persons the strength to get up and do what needs to be done."
And his famous tag line, "That's the news from Lake Woebegone, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average."

You guys saw Garrison Keillor live and in person! You luckies! I didn't even know he was in town. We love The Prairie Home Companion. Garrison's pretty funny.
