A mind blowing opportunity came available back in the early spring for our girls to make their first visit to Disney World and immediately I saw a clear fork in the road where both options could not be taken at once.
I was rather ticked at first since the plans did not include any dads considering as many previous conversations in our own household about seeing our kids' faces on their first trip to such a world recognized place had taken place, but the other moms had to slowly pull out one by one.
When I thought about the Centennial Conclave's dates, the question came to me whether my descendants would know, remember, and appreciate my attendance at the Centennial Conclave versus personally going to Disney World with our family and there was no decision to make at that point.
My wife Wyteria and I have not been to Orlando since 1993 and there is a slight possibility of catching a space shuttle launch in Cape Canaveral since it is only 55 miles away if it occurs Sunday or Monday versus Friday or Saturday as planned. Seeing a launch would be icing on the cake for us all.
I hope to take everyone to Clearwater, FL too so they can experience the Gulf of Mexico as I did back in 2006 which was very cool.
There is plenty of excitement worldwide over our Centennial Conclave anniversary too!
I hope and pray that all Brothers attending remain safe and have a pure blast!!
As much as I could not be there, I believe that all of us should find enthusiastic pleasure and joy to know that an initiate of your home chapters are indeed in the number whether you know them personally or not!
Just to know that Nupes are there soaking up all the Brotherhood imaginable and being an initiate of your home chapter of initiation is the next best thing to being there yourself!!!
I hope that they will share any updates, photos, and videos possible while there and especially upon his return. Hopefully another initiate is in the crowd and we will discover before he returns home:)

We shot a video of breaking the news to our girls about Disney World and it could be said that black kids take the news very hard when compared to seeing their grandmas:) Our oldest was in grief filled shock until she was told over and over again that her grandma would arrive later in the day to go to Florida as well.
It was really a "Wow" moment for us all and not necessarily in the best way but she is still warming up to the idea hour by hour since.
Please consider encouraging Brothers attending the Centennial Conclave to take an undergraduate Brother to breakfast by complete surprise one morning and their lives will be changed for the better beyond anyone's imagination!!
I did it at my last out of town Conclave (easier to do somehow than at home) and had a blast meeting a new Brother in this way.
Have a great, safe summer and please share any photos or videos of how your summer is going!
Yours in the Bond!!!
