[Magdalen] Moving (was Re: Listgiv)

[Ann Markle]

Roger, I thought I heard some of you guys over there talk about pageants
before, except you (I guess not you personally, maybe Roland?) called it
something like a “crib.”

Advent might not be ideal (though it works out fine for me), but parishes
seem to feel differently. They can’t wait to get their person/parson in
place for Christmas. I offered my temporary parish to stay until after the
first of the year, but they also seemed ready to move on.

My prayers are with Raewynne. It’s a really big move!
