Advice column

Garrison Keillor used to publish an advice column on Salon called Mr. Blue; wonderful words of wisdom. I missed it sorely when he retired, and it took a while for me to attune to the voice of his replacement, Cary Tennis, or perhaps it took him a while to find his voice. At his best, he offers long elliptical metaphors that reach deep into the heart of the problem. Today’s Since you asked column (registration required) is a great example.
