Good morning from Collegeville,
Well, I didn’t get a call from Mark Dayton to head up any of the agencies. His loss. Just joking, wild horses could not drag me down to the Metro area to work for a living. I love that the commute to work is 6.2 miles. Barby got me a new Garmin 1300 GPS for Christmas and come to find out that the shortest route from Wimmer Hall to St. Joe is out the back way using County Road 159. I am having some trouble figuring out how to “save to favorites”, but other than that I love it.
As you may have heard, Garrison is coming to western Minnesota in February. The APHC show will be broadcast live from the campus of the U of M Morris on Saturday, February 19th. This morning he announced that on the January 15th show, Sara Watkins will be the host and he will be a guest. Strange. If you are a fan, I suggest that you get tickets to the show as soon as possible. Go to www.morris.umn.edu and click on the “Prairie Home Companion” link.
By the way, I still have a couple of “on-air message packages” available that include tickets to the February 19 show in Morris. “You too can reach our unique audience with your unique message”
The show this week is the first of a run at The Fitzgerald Theater in downtown Saint Paul. Special guests include the incomparable Nellie McKay plus a tune for 4 (count ’em 4) fiddles for the New Year with Deena and Sedra Bistodeau, Catie Jo Pidel and Richard Kriehn. Catie Jo was at the State Fair show a few years ago. She appeared to be about 12 years old. I still remember the green framed glasses. I wish that I had tickets to the show. The usual cast of characters will be there to entertain as well. Enjoy the show.
