For those of you who came in late...

Apologies from the staff at Penguin Hall. As they say in the movies, "Nothing ever happens at Grand Hotel. People come and people go; nothing ever happens at all...." Would that we had Lewis Stone lingering at the bar uttering those immortal words! But, in fact, a whole lot of nothing is exactly what's been going on around the Hall lately, so the posts have been few and far between. The editorial staff at the Monitor apologize profusely for this and promise to stir up the local populace more frequently in the future.
