'The News from Lake Wobegon'

GK has been sick all week. Side effects of expensive very old cough medicine. How doctors charge for advice. Feeling lousy, GK thinks about writing the great American novel. Grandma and Grandad spinning out on an icy road. Grandma was afraid of senility. To some, it's just another TV channel. Grandma believed in sticking to principles. L W Whippets finish in the cellar after six years of rebuilding. Lutherans make lousy infielders. All great shortstops are Catholics from warm climates.
