[Magdalen] Happy 2016

[Marion Thompson]

Reminds me of all the times I would tell Jim of some invitation and he 
would prefer to stay home.  The last notable occasion was when I 
suggested that he come along to the Outer Hebrides with me and he said, 
"No thanks -- but you can go."  Um, Hello?!?!  But I digress.

Don't be afraid to say No, as long as it is balanced once in awhile with 
a Yes.
