I haven't been active on this site in some time because of my busy time with school, Masons, and work.

Welcome back.  ...    Our forum discussions have been slower and with less excitement  ... cooler heads now ...

So tell us what you've been doing.

In Masonry I've been busy as hell. Last November, I joined the Royal Order of Scotland. In December I installed as Worshipful Master of my Lodge (first repeat in 98-years). This winter/spring I joined the Allied Masonic Degrees while attending Masonic Week outside of DC. At this event I also joined the Order of the Corks and Order of Bath. At the Grand York Rite of Idaho I was initiated into the Knights of the York Cross of Honor. I've taken over as Secretary of my Chapel of the Commemorative Order of St. Thomas of Acon. I am on the Hospitality Committee for the 2015 United Grand Imperial Council that will be held in Seattle. I've continued up the Grand lines in the York Rite. I will serve as the 2014-2015 Grand Orator for my Grand Lodge.

I'm heading into my last Semester at College and will soon start applying for my graduate programs.

This last January I ended my service in the Army National Guard. I was at 12-years, but because of my back injuries I couldn't re-enlist. I am now going through the "awesome" process of getting my disability from the VA.

"In Masonry"?   That's busy as hell, period!

Well, I've decided to jump back onto this board.  It's been over a year since I've been and it has been a busy year.
