This is the latest Garrison Keillor column from Salon.com, in which he connects the coming of autumn, his daughter's love of school and the last months of the Bush administration with reasons to be cheerful. He mentions Thoreau and Emerson as examples of cheery fellows, but comments posted on the blog take him to task--that they were actually darker and more complex characters. Most of us are more complex than what appears. But whatever. In typical Keillor poetry that isn't exactly poetry but reads like it, he gives us good reason to look up. Enjoy.

so people are taking someone to task because he decided to look at the world in a little better light?
glad we're dogs.
