Garrison, I think you should receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom for all you've done with A Prairie Home Companion and continue to do with the Writer's Almanac teaching us History and Literature. I would like to suggest, though, that the date should not be spoken "two thousand and twenty-one", but simply "two thousand twenty-one". "And" means decimal point! I know everyone does it, but we should set a good example for the kiddos! After all, we don't write it that way either (or shouldn't).
