My EA was tonight and all I can say is WOW!!! One of the other brothers likened it to "drinking from a firehose" and I think that just about nails it. Does anyone know of an EA degree going on soon in the DFW area? I would love to observe one to let some more of it soak in.

"image" is the key word here I'll put it in another context that might be a little easier to understand. I am a teacher. I represent the teaching profession at school AND outside school. If I want to maintain the trust and confidence of the community and my students, I must always act...

Seems to be working now. I guess "Patience is a Virtue"

The MOT App on my iPhone is on the fritz. It gives me some error when I open the app and then won't log in. Anyone else having issues?

Carrollton Lodge #1400

My petition was accepted tonight. My initiation is set for the 22nd. :-)

I've liked using Firefox because I can run it on my work pc and home mac and I get the same "experience" However, Firefox has started to become a resource hog (seems there is a memory leak) and I may be switching to Chrome. Does webkit run on a Mac?

I have not seen Waiting for Superman, but did watch the Oprah special on it. I am also a teacher. My main comment is that there is a huge difference between the school systems in the north east and Texas. I'm not suggesting that Texas schools are perfect, but they are a different beast and...

That's pretty cool, even to this Red Raider

Does full enlightenment mean that we "know" everything? otherwise I have always felt that knowledge begat curiosity. As my 8th grade science teacher put it, "the more you know, the more you don't know". Meaning your level of knowledge always opens the window to expand upon. And if there is...

CHL is the common Texas term. I think other states may use CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon permit). The Texas class is 10hrs long and you have to submit 2 fingerprint cards, one for the state and one for the feds.

That was the exact info I was looking for. Thank you gentlemen.

I have noticed that there are many lodges that hold CHL classes as fundraisers. From this I gather that many lodges are "pro-chl" My question is, what is the consensus on actually carrying in the Lodge? Would there be any instances that might be "compromising"? I'm asking so that I don't make...

I just smoked a rack of ribs for "The Big Game". I'm new to it and have only tried dry rubs. I'll have to try the blackberry glaze next time. Any suggestion on how to tweak the process to work in a smoker?

I just found out that my Petition was accepted. Now on to the Investigation/Interview phase. I'm excited to start this journey.

I eventually hope to visit other lodges. What lodges are some of the most interesting, historic, beautiful, active, etc to visit?

You should definitely swing by Rudy's BBQ while you are there. My wife and I ate at Rudy's all the time when we were at Texas Tech in Lubbock. Now we drive 30 minutes to eat at the one in Denton.

What is the benefit of only allowing membership to 1 lodge? I assume it is to make sure each member is fully active in his home lodge.

I'm in Carrollton, so I'm not too far from you. Thank you for your service.
