Thank you! I wish I could take credit for the reading/working/watching concept, but it's actually the clever invention of a marketer named Dama Jue. She actually uses it in email marketing, but I loved it so much I snagged it for my blog. She teaches the whole how & why of it in her Four by For Footers course (affiliate link).
We decided we're going to give Bridgerton a couple more episodes and see if it draws us in. It's cute, but the foreshadowing was so heavy-handed, we basically called every "plot twist" as soon as it was set up. Sometimes it's nice to be a little surprised, y'know?
As for levels in the Masons, there are officially only 3 "degrees" or levels. The Scottish Rite (which I don't even claim to understand the significance of) is a subset that offers 32 degrees that can be earned, and a 33rd that is apparently bestowed as an honor.
Alas, my dad was a good Mason, and never told me much of anything about their secrets. But I'm pretty sure a lot of that tea has been spilled online, so if you look, you can probably find it. It'd be a whole 'nother post if I were to dive down that rabbit hole though, so I'm not going there today. 😆
