End Of A Quiet Week

Tonight will be the first new Prairie Home Companion in quite a while. That's usually a cause for celebration, but this time there's also a bit of trepidation, as Garrison Keillor recently suffered a stroke.

Keillor is a great humorist, and his weekly monologues have been part of the American scene for decades. He says he's fine, but we haven't heard him since. He's been so good at what he does for so long that it's easy to take him for granted. I hope, at least, this will help us appreciate what he does even more.
