the writer's almanac

Yesterday, I don't know what brought me to find Garrison Keillor's Writer's Almanac online. Perhaps a hint of a memory of commuting from Berkeley to Stanford years ago, when the Writer's Almanac would come on the radio. In the midwest I grew up with Saturday trips out of town that were capped by Keillor's soothing voice on A Prarie Home Companion on the ride back. The Almanac seems an oddity today; it reminds me of a quieter time.

I opened the page to the
June 12th Almanac, which notes the life and birthday of Anne Frank. Reading it can't help but give perspective.
