In my other life I hold about half a dozen offices in the Masonic fraternity. (Yes, I use this blog to blow off steam. I am not nearly as mean and nasty in real life as I sound here.)
In July and August, supposedly most of the organizations I belong to have shut down for the summer ("gone dark" in the parlance). This of course is a holdover from the days before air-conditioning more than anything else. Not that our fabulous Masonic Temple downtown is air conditioned even in these modern days of the 21st Century, but I digress.
Somehow I have still managed to spend four nights this week working on various and sundry Masonic projects, up to and including a meeting with the Grand Master last night.
This weekend, though, it can all go hang. I'm going to get some things done around the house.
