[Magdalen] Need to blow off steam

[Susan Hagen]

You have my sympathy.  No solutions but sympathy and fellow feelings.
I have rather slipped to the periphery in my parish.  I attend when I
can but won't serve on committees.

Once again, a (tact-challenged, abrasive, good-hearted but overwhelming) member of my parish has tried to strong-arm me into joining the choir.    Her view is that people with good strong singing voices ought to be in red robes in the chancel pews "supporting the music ministry."  I have done choir for years and years, having been strong-armed from the age of 11 up, and I am much happier in the pews.
