[Magdalen] The Force Awakens

[Marion Thompson]

'Michael' Jackson was a brain fart.  I am more prone to these now in my 
advancing years.  The wrong word is the first past the line, often to my 
embarrassment, as the other day at a Diocesan meeting when I spoke of an 
ecclesiastical election rather than episcopal.  I did it here on the 
List recently with some other name.  It's not ignorance; it's mis-speak.
