Did you note the prefix to mason free'. That's because free is exactly what a freemason is. Free from his wife and family for much of the time. Meetings are all important. Of course they are! Especially the Friday meeting, all the others (Monday through Thursday) are just incidental, but oftentimes attended nonetheless. In actual fact a freemason is free to live the life of Riley. No wonder all the freemasons I know are a happy lot. Down at the club, helping each other out, patting each other's backs. Feeling all-important. Oh, they do. They do. They do.
