My grandpa, my dad, and I at my dad's raising The great thing about being in Minnesota is that sometimes, if a lodge needs a ritualist for some part, a lot of us will drop everything to help. I've been fortunate to help at a number of lodges and when I was an elected officer of my blue lodge...

It's an After Lodge Reunion! Jack joins us again Our Grand Lodge finds us out. Holding to ancient traditions, it turns out that corporal punishment is still a thing! An apology to the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, for something? Jason knows seventeen (17) words that aren't on the FCC bad...
