[Magdalen] decline of this list

Wed Jan 8 23:07:10 UTC 2025

Hi all,

I, too, miss this list in all its incarnations (starting, for me, with St.
Sam's). I miss the theological conversations, the prayer requests, the
drivel, and everything else.

I married in 2001 and my wife and I are still together. We have no
children, but we have four cats of our own, two permanent foster kitties,
and a bunch of foster kittens that rule the roost.
