First Time in Ritual

I just got a call from a desperate Brother asking me to take part in a third degree tomorrow evening. I'm so excited! This is going to be fun. My name will end in an "A" tomorrow night

Cool. I've done many of the parts in degree works, including SD, Master, and lecturer. But I get to do a new part next week as well. A brother who has done this part for many years wants to retire. Next Monday, my name will end in "UM"

And after 33 years a Mason, on 5/2, for the first time, my name will end in "A!"

Now I gotta practice!

End in an "A".....???....I am lost..... or do you mean last name begins with "A"

Nope....There were these three dudes see...and one guys name ended with A...

I just raised my cat 6 times

The others are o and um? Come on...you were there for CSI:Jerusalem!!

We did a whole series of degree training. Every time the candidate was named (no matter who played him) for entrance, oaths, etc, the stand in name was Napoleon Dynamite...he was Initiated, passed and raised. Screw Pedro, Napoleon is an MM!!

CSI: Jerusalem!!!!!!! That is my new favorite moniker for that section!

Bro. Fireman you can do it I know you know this.

I just played SD for the first time with a candidate in the FC. AWESOME I feel really more connected with the Bro. Oh we're raising a Bro. May 17th at our 2nd stated.

Pardon my mental lapse...... brain still fuzzy...... pain meds an muscle relaxers......

Well depending on how well the meds are working, and I know this is from the other thread, we're all wearing the nurses outfits to you. Oh YEAH

Naw, did that part already!

Thanks Buckeye...... now I will have up my dose....thats an image none us needed...lol...

The evening went well and I didn't screw up my lines. The Candidate had a big grin on his face during our "interaction". The WM said I sounded like an old pro. My friend told me he wouldn't have asked if he didn't know I could do it and he wasn't disappointed. Now all I need to do is find an apron for the cat.

I am working out of town a couple of days, so I stayed at the nearby MCAS Cherry Point BOQ, and visited a Lodge there in Havelock, NC. They were having a Master Masons Degree at Cherry Point Lodge #688. The usual Brother who did an important part, had to take his wife to the hospital, and they were short...and they asked to to play a part...whose name ended in "-um."
First time on that one and no notice!

The ziti before Lodge was great, but the fellowship was better.
