Day 22: The Saturday paper

I'll admit, I stopped subscribing to the Florida Times Union (or "Times Useless" as my dad would call it) somewhere about the time that Calvin & Hobbes went out of print.  But, I was a subscriber long enough to anticipate the annual pink issue.  The pink edition comes out in conjunction with Jacksonville's Race for the Cure.  Sure enough, as I walked through the lobby of One Ocean on my way to Matt and Jeanne's wedding, I saw the object of my desires. 

This issue is loaded up with not only stories of survivorship and early detection, but pretty much every hospital has a full page pink ad.  Oh, and there is also an article about the incredible cost of treating breast cancer.  Coinkydink? 

I mean, I'd really hate to think that anyone is looking to financially gain from this disease. 

Anyway, if you'd like to see some of the stories, visit http://jacksonville.com/pinkribbon.  Or don't.  I don't care.

I e-mailed the paper to find out how much more it costs to print a pink edition.  I'll keep you posted if/when they respond!
