'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Competitive gardening is getting underway. The grower of the first vegetables gets to tell lies. Lyle was spading his garden. He isn't much interested in gardening. He'd rather go fishing. Lyle is tired of teaching biology. He's not surprised at the anything that he says. His brother Stanley in LA called him. He had run into Lyle's old girl friend, Celeste. She gave her phone number to be given to Lyle. He remembered being 17 and talking about running away to France with Celeste. He dialed her number and asked her about France. She preached about the Soviet Union and the dangers of chemical warfare and Communism . She talked for an hour and ten minutes. At Our Lady, Fr. Wilmer finally got up his courage and delivered his first sermon with no problem. His homily was 15 pages long and after 15 minutes he was only on Page 3. The congregation was finally released to the sunlight. A software salesman called on Pastor Inqvuist and went on and on. Pastor I. dreamed he was fishing.
