NPR stole my thunder!

i enjoyed the NPR story on the Providence Athenaeum, but i feel lame for not mentioning the link to the goddess Athena, and, more importantly, for not using the cool abbreviation "Ath"...

my cover is blown, i am not a frequenter of Aths! maybe the auster facade kept me from lounging around the Ath when i lived in Pvd (i can abbreviate things, too), but i think an Ath is a great thing to have around...

""Fundamentally, the Athenaeum is about community, and creating this discussion and this interaction that you can't have listening to a podcast and you can't have blogging and Twittering and Facebooking online," he says. "It's not your grandfather's library."
