I know it costs money to produce (I write this kind of content and I don't do it for free), but I'm sorry to see the New York Times go to a subscription model to read current opinion columns.
Their loss. With so many bloggers out there, the NYT is in danger of losing advertising marketability anyway. Throwing up roadblocks to get to their OP/EDs will only turn more customers away.
Hey, (or, "Arr,") do you have an ETA for VA? I just got word that the robot finally landed in Elkton. Arr.
I leave here 10/21, but let's not count on me being back until 11/2 or so, since I will be coming home, doing Stuff, helping a friend have surgery (or helping her after--I think the docs have the actual surgery part covered), and then coming back with K for The Trek East. We should be back early in November.
Assuming we have not killed and eaten each other on the way. We always consider that a possibility. :)
Yeah--I wonder if they'll realize that the bloggers are no longer seeing them, and if they'll care?
I'm made curious by your word choice: "protagonist"?
I assume that this is your term for people you know who are 1 or more of the following: "significant other", "(close) friend", "POSSLQ" [one of my personal favorite soulless governmental acronyms, "ocean crab scuttling across the floor of your existence", etc. ad nauseam, but I hadn't encountered it before for non-fictional people. :)
Perhaps I have been in academia too long--or perhaps I simply know too many people who enjoy idiosyncratic forms of speech. It was, of course, entirely too obvious to simply conclude that by "my protagonist" you might have actually simply meant "character from a work of fiction that you wrote". *rueful smile*
