Tonight was a double first degree down at the lodge. Since this is the first real degree work for this year's officer line, the various parts of the ritual were broken up among various members. The lecture, which is normally truncated, was given, in full, by an 85-year-old Past Master who recited all twenty-plus minutes of it flawlessly. It was awesome.

I think I'm resigned to the fact that I'm getting older and that is just how existence is... but come 40 I might be singing a different tune.
As for my back...I'm not really sure, but it may have to do with the large pieces of lumber I helped my father with earlier in the week. I'm feeling a little bit better, so I hope that it will continue to improve over the next few days.
