I wanted to, but needed to get back home. I've been helping RW Jerry Martin (Grand Orator) on a couple of projects, and I was fortunate enough to be his candidate for the 4th Degree. Remember that level of excitement you had going through the first three degrees? That's what I felt throughout all the ceremonies. There was one in particular, I believe it was the 14th (Perfect Elu)? which was very moving. To me, that's when I thought, okay now I feel like a SR Mason. Bro. Secretary on the forums, along with another Brother were the ones who communicated many of the Degrees. My brain is still rattled, as there's so much to soak in lol. I just wish I lived closed as it would be a 2 1/2 roundtrip to attend lodge. I'd love to be part of the "sanhedrin" as they're in charge of putting the show together. With my passion for theatre it's right up my alley. We'll see what journey lies ahead. But I'm definitely pumped!
Oh, another cool thing is the theatre hosts various Children Plays. I plan on taking my wife and boys:

I do look forward to the York Rite next month...whew! I'm hungry for Masonry, and hopefully I can better serve you guys by having as much light and understanding of the Craft as I can.
