While there is a Louis Armstrong museum in NOLA, Rick Whelan was right about Queens. Armstrong's home has been opened as a museum and performance space.
Garrison, I have been following you for quite a while. Many of your books, listened to PHC on the radio, (Loved the joke show), and the movie, and saw you in person twice.
I just finished "Cheerfulness" and "That Time of Year". BUT... I didn't think it was especially cheerful, and a little dark. Anyway, I looked at my bookcase and thought, "All these books that I have read are sitting there, gathering dust". Yours and many others.
I took them to our public library for their Friends of the Library monthly book sale. At least they will help our library, which is underfunded.
The version I've always heard is "Pórtate mal para que la pases bien." "Be naughty so that you have a good time." It's a lighthearted saying not meant to imply that things will go well for you if you behave badly at the expense of others!
In, or actually somewhat outside, Sylva, NC you can find the Museum of the American House Cat. I toured it a couple years ago & found it well worth the time.
Speaking of Louis Armstrong . . . I visited the Jazz Museum in New Orleans 4 years ago, expecting to see Satchmo's trumpet displayed there. It wasn't. The staff told me his trumpet is in New York. Joan Bekins
Five of us enjoyed your show in Wilmington the other night. My wife and I have seen you before and we thought the show was great. But we miss our regular Saturday nights with you. We actually brought two pound cakes to the show that were hustled back somewhere, so we can only hope they got to the right place, cast and crew. She started the idea of a welcoming cake in the late 90’s at a Charlotte show. It was Brownies (regular) in Atlanta and I fought off the idea to do anything in Nashville due to logistics and of course, TSA. Anyway, thank your for years of laughter and absolute enrichment of our lives in this household. Those Sapps
Mr. Keller, I am reading “Cheerfulness” and just finished the section on Emerson. You are so tongue in cheek that I have difficulty distinguishing your humor from fact. Is the discussion on Emerson factual? I want it to be true! SSH

"Behave badly so that it goes well for you" is translation I get.

I like the quote that you tell the Unitarians.

GK and hornswoggled. The best part of comedy is the set up : )

How can you possibly keep up this correspondence for so many with such tales of need?
