I would guess that the best way for an out-of-towner to get a copy would be to call 256-825-7707; I don't see any subscription info listed, so I don't know that you can subscribe, or what it would cost if you could. They also have an email address for submitting editorials: editor@theplaintalker.com; I suppose you could use this to ask about subscribing, etc.
You really should read the article; I personally think Growing Up was a highlight of lake life, and I'm glad to see it back. But I'll summarize quickly, if you promise to try to read the whole thing :-) :
In short, BAJ had a bad year. His cabin was bulldozed, his cat died, his mother died, he lost the Lake Martin Living job because they thought it was OK to write things and put his name on them, his wife's best friend died, and days before Christmas his dog died. (This is in chronological order; I'm sure the order of importance would be different.) The gist of the story is how he never was much of a celebrator on New Year's Eve, but he'll be happy to say "Good Riddance" to 2005.
Obviously, my one paragaraph can't do justice to his 1,000 words. Reading the story, I really felt for the guy; he's done so much for us over the years, and I truly wanted to do something for him. But all I can do is offer prayers, so I hope it helps.
