Sorry, just had to reproduce that portion of the original, as it speaks to how those of us who miss Theresa feel when these automaton apparitions knock on our mailboxes.

The posting is about a ghost story from Basil Rathbone, as related by Dick Cavett.

Editor’s Note: Theresa had left this post to appear automatically on this date (another will appear on New Year’s Eve).

Ooh goody, once more we will waken to find letters from beyond in our mailbox.
