[Magdalen] urgent prayers requested

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

I'm done with the recorder camp for another year. In a few hours I'll be
heading home to my companions and my spouse of forty-three years.

Yeah, smug, self-righteous judgmental twits do annoy me, but what can I say?

Ya can't live with 'em and ya can't shoot 'em.
