MM Topic stepped up a few chairs tonight

[Gary]

I went to Lodge practice tonight, as we are getting ready to initiate two EA's on the 19th. When I got there the District Instructor was there to help us with preparations/practice.

Lo and behold the WM gets a wild hair, and decides to stick me in the SD seat. (I'm the JS). While I can do the opening and closing of the Lodge in every seat, except WM & SW, I've never tried to test myself on the EA degree.

I managed to demonstrate a fairly high degree of proficiency. I think I floored the DI. I know I certainly surprised myself. He said he'd never believe I'd never done it before if there weren't other brothers there to witness it.

I've got to polish the edges a bit, but I'm really proud that the WM had the confidence in me.

So on 7/19/2011 I get to have a big boy role for the big night! Woot!

[Gary]

Yep I know a good one!

Thanks. I was just really surprised that they moved me. It's good to know I can work under pressure...LOL

Laudable actions do not go unnoticed.....


PS... I vote you not go with any bow-chicka-wow-wow style music too

I say you walk the candidate in to the "Darth Vader" theme.

Congrats . It is always fun and a great learning experience working other chairs .

 

[BukeyeJackson]

Oh Gary, did you feel a connection to your candidate? I feel that that role is a very important one but one I didn't fully realize until I guided someone.

So far, I've only guided another MM during practice. I'll let you know on the 19th...

I love going out visiting lodges and they need a chair filled for degree work . They never hesitate in asking me because they know I will jump at the chance to sit in any chair .

 

[Gary]

I guess once you learn them, and feel comfortable doing the parts, it's fun.

 

[jason]

You will have to let us know how it goes.

 

[Gary]

Or... You could come to Lodge and see for yourself!

Fly me out?

 

[Gary]

Fly me out?

If I was independently wealthy, I would send my private jet to pick you up.

Yay, ok so then we jet set and grab the other from here and make a whirlwind at every Lodge we can!
