Neil came too pick me up out here at 7pm and I noticed the City cleared the snow squalls off the sidewalk and the curb. We got to lodge right on time, Tiling at 7:30pm. The meeting went on for longer then I thought. I promptly paid my lodge dues. I asked Alvar if I could do the EA Working Tools but he’s got someone else doing that but I could be available if he can’t make it. I just need a quick review and I‘m ready to go. We had a couple of motions for requests rejected and presented a member with his 50 year jewel. Our Deputy District GM was in the East. We also had Chris receive his Past Masters Apron and jewel. Good stuff. I want one of those. Usual business was conducted. We had a couple of Master Masons prove up to get their apron and certificate. That was pretty cool. We had a couple of laughs. Neil showed me a bit more of his keyboard and it’s a Yamaha of course. Very nice. He said he paid 4 grand for it. It’s about 5 years old.

I bought Neil that beer. Still more sliced up subs for the festive board. A few more laughs. I didn’t get a chance to finish my beer before we were out the door. His computer is on the fritz so he’s thinking about getting a lap top. Anyway, I had a good time. I’m up to date on my dues. We got out of there at 10:15pm and I got home at 10:30pm. I had a good night out.

On Coast tonight: Remote Viewing instructor Paul Smith will discuss various ways people can learn to use ESP and mental abilities to tap into future outcomes for financial gain. Oh brother. And the first hour: 'Psychic Twins' Terry & Linda Jamison share an update. A lame show for a Thursday night. On Saturday, the show isn’t much better with staged accidents. Yeesh. 

According to SF Signal: Alastair Reynolds has posted an excerpt from "House of Suns," his latest novel. The link is in today’s AF Signal. I’m starting to like the work of this author.
