[Magdalen] A great sadness

[Jay Weigel]

Marion, I am sad for you, but as everyone has said, who knows what is
around the corner? You are about to jump parishes and no one knows what
that parish may need....just for openers.

Scott, am I going to have to "Dutch aunt" you again? <g> There are
literally hosts of singing groups in Chicagoland who would undoubtedly
welcome you with open arms. Get your butt out there and check 'em out!
GO!!!!!!

I miss singing horribly. I sing around the house all the time, for better
or for worse. However, I pretty much lost my breath control when I had all
those surgeries. I could probably get it back with a LOT of work, but would
what my voice sounds like now make it worth that? I probably have enough
left to support my part in a church choir, but not sure if I want to make
that commitment since I haven't made the commitment to a particular parish
at this time.
