I’ll be mailing out CDs plus a box of paper on July 31 to ALL the seminar students this year (live and online).
You’ll need to buy a BIG binder. This year’s stack of paper clocks in at about 2,300 pages.
Getting started – slowly

Here is a bit of Tumblr humor that is VERY close to the entire concept of studying for EA-2A.
Lesson L.1.1- again
September 22nd, 2010
Even after my prior change, the video file was STILL not correct. I re-created the file – again.
Tip-O-The-Hat to Jennifer S for letting me know!
Correction for lesson L.1.1
September 21st, 2010
The video file was corrupted, so the screen was out of sync with the narration after page 7. I re-created the file, and it works much better now.
