    Custom Aprons?

    I'm curious to know if there is a rule as to what can be displayed on the apron of a past master. I've gotten conflicting opinions with absolutely no proof of any trend judging from the PM aprons I see traveling from lodge to lodge. Any answer on this question would be appreciated.

    Lodge Secretary

    Question. Does The Grand Lodge of Texas have any stand on lodges having assistant secretaries? This is truly an impossible job unless you are retired, independently wealthy, or just a-social.

    Having Drinks

    So that's where you were Friday night last year's Grand Lodge weekend! Wild Bill_Lins and I were on the patio at Crickets! Of course, we had enough sense not to look at the mirror! Go figure. :beer:

    Greetings my Brothers, from the Golden State!

    No Blue Bell? That's un-Am-er-ri-gun! Welcome brother and get yourself raised at the first opportunity. Do you know I once had to smuggle Blue Bell back to Louisiana! Always kept three Coleman freezers with dry ice in the trunk and back seat. Those were the days my friend. :001_rolleyes:

    Your Prediction: Freemasonry in 5-10 Years

    There is a slight trend toward younger brethren joining the lodges. My home lodge is growing through the 27-45 year age group. We have eight new masters in that group this year plus an additional five or six active in their degree work or petitioning at the moment. Once this demographic...

    your thoughts on the direction government is headed

    Capitialism fixes nothing if it precludes anyone from getting their fair share of the produced wealth. Witness the wealth distribution of Venezuela. Woe the pattern of wealth distribution developing in this nation. Capitialism works when each man is paid his fair share of production of wealth...

    The Book Upon The Altar

    P.S. they call such men Zealots ... something we'd all do better to live without! Thank you brother for your thoughtful post.

    your thoughts on the direction government is headed

    No one lives in this economy alone. Others MUST participate in one way or another. That participation can be constructive or destructive. The pendulum seldom finds true center is such turbulence. That is the potential problem I see. The following is my caution to the extreme viewpoints that...

    The great and powerful oz

    Ouch! Brother John just brought all of us dreamers back to earth. With a thud!!!!! Brother Ashlar 76 ... want to wait on that dream of a "future wife." After all, not only do: you get to see Oz in 3D you will eventually get to whistle (mark my words carefully) Who's Afraid of The Big Bad...

    Subsidies

    I recommend pure economic courses for us all. One source is The Learning Company that packages learned academia's front line professors on DVD and CD formats. These respected authorities teach classes that would take a semester to learn on campus. The courses are usually 24 to 36 one-hour...

    I'm so old I can remember....

    That's a low blow brother. I remember being a sports writer and covering the Houston Aeros of the old World Hockey League in that old building. Even always stopping in to eat with Ninfa and the kids on Navigation Blvd. Damn ... I turn back and I don't even see the hill anymore! :w00t:
