I have been thinking about this all weekend. Still don't have a real, solid answer. In my EA, I was clueless about the entire thing, so the whole night I was in awe of the degree and I was thrilled to finally be in Lodge with my dad. By the time I went through my FC, I had made some good...

We made it through the graded MM degree last night. I was the MoC and I only cost us one point with a forgotten word. A Brother was helping me review my part just before the degree, when he realized I had left out one word during my practice. We went over it another time or two, hoping it...

I did. And I'll be back at Lodge to see one put on Monday Night. Watching each degree has helped me really absorb what I have just undertaken. Actually on Monday I'll be the MOC in a graded MM degree. So I have a lot of practice to get through before Monday.

And now my time has come! Just got home from my MM degree! My dad made it down and everything was awesome.

Thursday night I'll finally be raised as a MM at Round Rock Lodge, 227. It is about time, I think. I planned to do this about 10 or 12 years ago, but life got busy. Last January I finally decided to MAKE time to join the Lodge. And even though my dad has been a Mason for more than 30 years...

Nice! When I was a kid we had a neighbor who was a nervous old lady. But she had trained her little dainty Maltese dog, Fluffy to growl like a pit bull if she ever called her "Killer". If she was worried that someone was in the yard or messing with her car, we would hear "Get 'em Killer!"...

From the night of my initiation, with Brother Dad by my side. And this is me when the daughter decided to fix my hair.

I couldn't agree more. I am still an FC, so I won't speak to the effectiveness of the meetings of my Lodge. I haven't been to enough to form an opinion. A few weeks ago, we had the DDGM's official visit. Since they had to open in Master's, I knew I wouldn't be going into the Lodge Room...

A neighbor told me "Well I thought the Masons were all secretive and involved in good conspiracies. But if they'll let you in, then I don't know... Must not be that important!"

There is a cemetery in North Austin/Pflugerville that has monuments set-up in the shape of an outdoor Lodge Room. Stations, altar, the works. I'll have to swing by and snap some pictures.

I am guessing the other word was @^*&!

Though I grew up with Dad being active in his Lodge and my Mom supporting him fully, the end of your story is similar to mine. While my Dad was spending a few days down here, making arrangements for my grandma's funeral, I started talking to him about finally turning in a petition. By the...

Man that sounds cool! Several guys at Lodge have talked about these outdoor degrees, but I don't know if any have actually been to one. I'll have been a MM for a couple of months by then, might have to take a ride out there.

My Dad has been a Mason since I was a little kid. He drug me around to Masonic events all over North Texas until I was in High School and I decided that I could find something more fun to do. About a dozen years or so ago I asked Dad for a petition. I got all of the paperwork completed...
