Blog is working again

The problem was pilot error. I'd set the settings for only 7 days of display. All better now.

The next show might be delayed. Life interfered...well work did really but my 6 year old is now into basketball (thanks to that Michael Jordan/Bugs Bunny movie) and it is summer....what kind of father would I be if I didn't teach my kid to dribble?

We also had to replace a Powerbook. Word to the Brothers: Don't spill a glass of water onto a laptop keyboard. My kid did and the Powerbook went to its eternal reward. Though in all fairness the idiot who left the water next to the Powerbook was the rough ashlar writing this now. So I couldn't get mad at my boy. I have only myself to blame.

The next show will be about what Freemasonry offers young men and society in general. Anyone have a point of view on this topic? Let me know about it. I expect the show will be 4-5 days delayed but not beyond that. Thanks for your patience. And thanks for your comments. Keep 'em coming.
