If you find yourself in need of a pick-me-up in the (other) holiday season…the one that celebrates small children talking to strangers, cotton cobwebs, and fear in general… check out these heartening personals!  Email bwgossip@columbia.edu; if you’re chosen we’ll give the two of you $5 to spend at your first meeting.  Maybe you can dress up together! P.S.: if you or anyone you know would like to be a personal, shoot us a second e-mail. We read them.
