Here in Massachusetts we honor the sacrifices of those humble men that fought bravely at Concord and Lexington. In that spirit, we take the day off, and run a marathon. And we get an extra day to do our taxes (this year).
Awesome for you. The Statesman would frolic in a day like that. I hope that you enjoyed it. I watch parts of the Judas program on the NG channel and they said that there was going to be follow ups and a whole thing in the May issue of the magazine. So if you wanted to pick it up it would be in there.
I'm considering a magazine subscription again, for the first time in a few years. I can't get anything too offbeat, as I must select from the mainstream collection offered me courtesy of my niece's Girl Scout fundraiser.
I'm torn between National Geographic, National Geographic Traveler, Backpacker, or Outside. Outside took an editorial digger a few years ago, but they may be back on track. I've always thought National Geographic is a little heavy on the sunken treasure deal. Their traveler magazine would be really cool, though it would be a real sort of vicarious way to live through others' travels, since I generally have neither the money nor time for such journeys. Ditto on Backacker, really...
I find National Geographic & Outside magazine completely frustrating. An audience of bastards reading article after article on our dwindling national resources and global warming, and then apparently slathering over the neverending ads for sport utility and luxury vehicles.
National Geographic is also a lot of print to get through in a month.
I may check out a couple of recent mags of each from the library and do a compare...

Was it PBS?
Happy Patriot's Day to all!
Not PBS. It was the National Geographic Channel. We get it here. I love the channel a lot.

How about a children's magazine? You and Lucy could read it together. She would be excited to receive mail I am sure.
I think you'll find National Geographic to have far fewer of the sunken treasure stories than you remember.
The bad thing about them is the pervasive ads, something they used to have none of.
Another option along those lines is Smithsonian, very similar content and quality.
