    Lefty: Haven't you read about the dangers of drinking?Dusty: I have. And it led me to give up reading.Like the News from Lake Wobegon and Guy Noir, Private Eye, The Lives of the Cowboys sketch has become a signature part of A Prairie Home Companion. Each week, radio listeners can't wait to hear Lefty's latest poem and Dusty's latest rant.In six complete sketches drawn from the radio show, the two pardners cope with hangovers and citrusy aftershave, try to get in the Christmas mood (not much luck there), meet a vampire, drive a herd of 10,000 free range chickens, tangle with a territorial poet named Big Messer, pay a visit to the New York Public Library, and wind up in the San Luis Obispo County Jail for mistaking a cocker spaniel for a coyote. Each is a glimpse into daily life in and mostly out of the saddle.Includes four songs.Garrison Keillor stars as Lefty; Tim Russell as Dusty; with Sue Scott, Tom Keith, Danielle De Vecchio, and Julie Boyd.

    Dear Clementina is a collection of humorous letters from Stanley, a bemused - and at times bewildered - puppy to his pal Clementina. In each missive, Stanley strives to explain and interpret the complexities of life as he encounters them during his first year, and does so with a comic insight which is reserved for the innocent observer - an insight which will be appreciated by anyone with a sense of humour, or a dog, or preferably both.

    Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in December 1815. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian–Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters. Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the first sentence, she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray. This novel has been adapted for several films, many television programmes, and a long list of stage plays..
