'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Good sleeping weather. Mr. Lundberg sleeps so soundly that Betty has to pound him to wake him. Fr. Emil dozed off in the confessional, woke with a start, banged his knee, said 'Ouch', and shocked Carla Krebsbach, who had confessed impure thoughts. Senator K hasn't been sleeping much because he's in love. There will be 15 or 16 at the Tollefsens for Thanksgiving. He wondered if he was rushing things but he's 72. Jim Tollefsen loves Michelle Barfnicht as they rehearse the junior play. Another guy, who is GK's age and height, is also in love and at the right time, will tell us about it. Marlis and Ron Swensen are on vacation in the west. She wrote home about their dreadful vacation. They've been staying with Ron's old buddies, sleeping on floors. Ron's cousin, Denny and Donny, race cars outside of Las Vegas. They are 40-year old teenagers. Marlis won $1864 at black jack and Ron wanted half. They had a fight. They walked back to their motel for breakfast. They're looking forward to home. GK talks about love.
