There is only one semicolon in the entire piece, and it is not in the sentence about which this article was written. Delightful.
Thanks to Laura Creekmore for the link.

Hope you’re OK. The second post below this didn’t seem too happy. Anyhow, I think semicolons are just plain rad. I don’t use them everywhere; that isn’t their purpose, or the purpose of any punctuation symbol. I might misuse them. I’m pretty sure I get it right most of the time, though, and using the semicolon, getting the semicolon right, really makes literary articulation easier in the long run.
