-------------- MORALS! -------------- 
Yes, 
I continue to remain steadfast

We Absolutely DO Wear Capes,

-------------- EGO REVISITED --------------
in my formally stated views.
Let me premise this with:
EGO isn't what
a lot of people believe it is!

-------------- FOND MEMORIES --------------
I was blessed to have met with a few good Brothers
at Hillsborough Lodge No. 25 last evening,
along with good Brother Derec Mercer
who was visiting from NC.
We dined over some garlic bread, salad
and
awesome lasagna sprinkled with sausage
and great conversation.
After
dinner,
I was present to the first Lodge performance of
performed by Brothers Mike Huster
and Billy D. Schmidt.
It was an awesome Evening!
Here's the script that they used!
