[Magdalen] Speaking of mishaps...

[Grace Cangialosi]

Well, that's a good idea, Lynn; I'll look into it. Be of the churches where I supply has a square of plastic that is placed under the corporal. That wouldn't have helped much this morning, though, as the chalice tipped toward the outside of the table, away from me.
