  • Too many ad libs and jokes

    Whoever is the jokester of the group, is really annoying. Sorry to say that so harshly but, it really takes away from the conversation. I want to take your podcast seriously, but I just can’t with those unnecessary interruptions…. Smh.

  • Festive Board

    I enjoyed this episode. Our lodge last year started a new tradition of holding quarterly festive boards, and they have been a welcome addition to our annual program of events. Our junior warden picks four different restaurants for our back tie dinners, and we all gather there for fellowship, great food, and a round of toasts.
