Congratulations Backnblack, it’s a well deserved honor I am sure.

Good luck to both of you.

I’ve been asked to go into the Grand Commandery line five or six times. The last time I replied to the incoming Grand Commander with “No” in 20 languages. I’m the Deputy Grand Governor of York Rite Sovereign College for Wisconsin. After I’m done with Grand Governor I’ll be done with lines. I’ve done my bit. It’s time for the kids to take the reins. I like sitting on the sidelines and complaining.

Congratulations, I have a long way to go. I just got passed to FC last week.

Congratulations on your pending advancement. None for me - I'll remain as Chaplain next year if they'll have me.

Congrats
The FC degree is my favorite degree to work in.

Just when you think you're out, they suck you back in.  Off to the South for November and December, to the West in January for the year, then to the East. So much for peace and quiet.

I don’t remember it, but I was “reminded” I’m going to be installed Senior Warden in December. Apparently I agreed during a nice meal at our favorite Italian restaurant while at grand lodge in June. I honestly don’t remember. My wife did and she was assured it’s not going anywhere further, so she said okay.

We have some newer Brother’s that aren’t ready.

I am a Past Master (2015) from my Masonic Lodge here in Richmond, VA.

Honest.. Straight from the heart... Would I do it again, and go back in line?   NO!

2014 (Senior Warden) and 2015 (Worshipful Master) was a heck of a ride and an amazing experience.  Heck, the whole journey was!  But with that said, there is a downside to it all too.  I quite literally didn't have any free time for myself.  I was completely "ate up" in Masonic programs, education, etc... and to be absolutely truthful, my wife even started getting a little "funny" with my continued absence, and lack of taking care of things around the house, lawn, up on the roof, etc...

The lesson here is:  Masonry is a wonderful, historical, fraternal organization.  BUT, don't let it start to consume your daily life!  Pace yourself... Masonry ain't going nowhere...

I was installed Senior Warden last week. The new Master reminded everyone we have a Fellow Craft Degree on the 2nd. Apparently I had missed the memo. In Wisconsin the SW confers the FC. I haven’t done one since probably 2013. I guess I better practice.

I've started to doubt the brethren in my lodge. They elected me as WM.

That’s what happens when no one wants the job again. 🤣

Looks like I will be senior warden in the lodge of perfection next year. It’s going to be a busy year for sure
