#10 Will you ever run out of Lake Wobegon stories? – Tom Hale, NEW YORK CITY
No. As long as you can still hear and see, you’ll never run out of stories. I ran into an ancient cousin of mine a week ago, and she told me something I’d never heard before. My grandfather Keillor died before I was born, and she told me that every night, he lifted my grandmother into his arms–he’s a farmer, a big woodworking guy–and carried her upstairs into bed. He had a big mustache and beautiful singing voice. From that, you could come up with a whole year’s worth of stories almost.
