  2. I agree! As a Minnesotan I feel like I should have heard of this already, thanks for keeping me updated.

  3. He was a neighbor when I still lived in St. Paul. I must admit I did not have an appreciation of him at that time. I have changed my mind as both he and I have evolved. He has a great bookstore in St. Paul. I'm also glad he's alright.

  4. Oh dear, I hadn't heard about that.

    I read a fascinating interview with him in an Irish newspaper recently. I'd no idea about his religious family!

    My parents got his tapes manyyears ago and we all loved them so much. Wonderful stories, and such subtle humour.

  7. Joy- He is a touchstone for me.

    J- I read the Huffington Post every day. Yes. I am a liberal.

    Sandra- He has a bookstore? I love him even more.

    Ms. Jo- Really? That's so lovely.

    Steph- But I have posted many pictures of my house. I thought I was being redundant. I'm glad that I'm not.

    Adrienne- He has a face like Bill Murray's. All his life is represented there.

  8. Me too. I was so relieved to hear he was doing okay. Being a native Minnesotan, I consider him to be a national treasure.

  9. Aden- He IS a national treasure. He is our Mark Twain.

  10. I thought of you when I heard the news. I told my Mom that I'll bet Ms. Moon's upset and will be posting about this.

    I'm glad he's okay, too.
