Wow, time is going by sooooooo verrrrry fast.

Last Friday evening, I went to work the Charity Poker for my Unit. I and 3 other members worked a 5:00 PM to 2:00 A.M. Shift. Although it was a long shift, it was very enjoyable and worthwhile for the organization.

I got home around 3:30 AM and slept solidly for about 6 hours, yep I was by 9:00 A.M. Oh well, this is actually much later than I ever wake up.

I decided to go to Windsor to purchase some of the greatest liver sausage in the world and take it to the circus trailer to all the volunteers selling tickets. I also picked up some fresh baked flaxseed bread and custom mustard and drove back to Hazel Park. The guys gobbled up the delicious concoctions.

I was fascinated watching the circus producer and his workers putting up the big circus tent, it was an amzing feat, with all the rain and wind.

I decided to go home, have dinner with Carrie and chill out for the rest of the evening.

Sunday March 14, 2010: I went down to the circus and they were in the process of putting up the middle sized tent, in a much clearer day. I enjoyed some left over liver sausage, it gets better with age (I know Carrie is gagging as she reads this, since she hates the idea of liver or any liver products). Carrie met me at the circus for a while and we watched the workers. We left around 5 PM and met my sister and brother at the mall for a little while.

Monday March 15, 2010 --- Well here is the day I earn my enormous salary of a Potentate (which is zero). Our Treaurer met me at my house at 4 PM and we set off for Coldwater, MI to visit the Branch County Shrine Club (our farthest West part of our jurisdiction). It is a 300 mile round trip, and a total of 5 hours driving, for a 2 hour meeting. But I have to tell you, our Nobles and their Ladies in the rural aspects of Coldwater are great members of our organization. They have such strong beliefs in our charity, the Shrine Hospitals for Children, and our proud to be members of our craft. I really could not believe how happy they were to see the Potentate drive that much to visit. Just witnessing their appreciation made the trip worth it. I got home around 11PM, and hit the hay.

The rest of the week can be summed up like this: Circus, Circus, Circus!!!!!!!!! Everything is going great and we are anticipating great weather, crowds and fun.

Viva La Circus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
