Miss Cellania recently bought a new house, so she’s spending this week unpacking boxes and waiting for the cable guy. Her usual understudy, Andréa Fernandes, is starting her senior year at Chestnut Hill College and therefore not available to scour for links. So, you’re stuck with me.

  1. Not a bad job, Jason. You will do for now. ;-) Best wishes to Miss Cellania and Andrea on their fresh starts!

  2. Agree with nutmeag. You’re not Miss Cellenia, but you did a great job.

    (And good luck Miss C with all the un-boxing!).

    I am not a sports fan (have no interest whatsoever), but I read Joel’s article and found it sad and exceptionally well written. Looking forwarding to seeing/reading more from him.

  3. I stayed in the Monte Vista in Arizona and it WAS haunted. I think it should be on that list.
