[Magdalen] Procedures on Friday

[Christopher Hart]

I must confess to having also recently (couple of months ago) had a
colonoscopy too. It was my second and I put if off way longer than I was
supposed to. I did have a couple of polyps removed and though they were not
cancerous they were of a disturbing type so the doc wants me to do the
whole thing again in two more years. Lucky me. Oh well, the joys of getting
older. Still it beats the alternative, I guess. Glad my friends are
participating as well and hoping for good results all around.
