[Magdalen] T. or T.

[Marion Thompson]

None at my little house in the dell away from the road.  Port Hope 
generally has lots of retirees and I don't see kids around me, now that 
the family at the road has moved.

At 6:30 I went to St. Mark's to help welcome kids there.  This is the 
second year we have had an open church door with the organist playing 
Phantom, Here comes the Bride in a minor key, and Toccata & Fugue in D 
Minor -- endlessly!  Lots of goodies to be given out, orange lights in 
the cemetery, and all that stuff.  An amazing number of kids came by -- 
only one dressed as Trump with the cap and orange hair.  One of our teen 
choristers sat absolutely motionless and wordless dressed as a zombie on 
the front step -- for three hours.  I think she was half dead -- it was 
only 5C and bitter -  but she never broke!  (Where are all those kids on 
a Sunday -- and, indeed, their parents?!  Still, one never knows ....)
