I used to use United frequent flyer miles to subscribe. At some point, I signed up for their email. Now I get emails from them every day with 5-10 articles (that was one of them). Lots of interesting stuff.

I click on the articles that sound interesting. Sometimes I read them right then, sometimes, I'll "read them later" because "I'm busy." What that means is that I've probably got several hundred Smithsonian article tabs open in my browser right now dating back about 1.5 years

OK, I'll leave the useless link and provide another.

Odd. My wife just re-upped yesterday. Great magazine.

I was on the phone with Comcast for over an hour yesterday changing my triple play account.

The only channel I asked to add was 'The Smithsonian'
I deleted a whole bunch of others.
