This Sunday I had a most excellent walking tour through Boston’s Masonic history, hosted by the brothers of Harvard Lodge.
The sites and sights were too many to try to present here, nor could I, as I had anecdotes and history coming out of my ears by the end of it. But roughly speaking: We met [...]

Whether you like their series or not, HBO have always offered stellar quality, and this is no different. The production value is very high, and it featuers great Hollywood actors like Paul Giamatti, Laura [...]

I had the pleasure of visiting Harvard Lodge twice this past week. The first time was for a Third degree (in Cambridge Masonic Temple), and then at their usual turf, Grand Lodge in Boston (picture), for a stated meeting and a lecture. Two very different meetings, but both great experiences. And these guys are so [...]

I’ve only been in Boston for a few days, but I wanted to see Grand Lodge; as it happened I noticed that there was an open house today, as part of the 275th anniversary of freemasonry in Massachusetts. So I decided to spend an hour there.

Well, plans have changed: We won’t be going to New York, but rather to Boston, from March through May. (It’s just a fast train away from Grand Central though, so I may still be able to go to NYC, but it’s not my main priority.)
Freemasonry in Massachusetts celebrates its 275th anniversary this year, and I’ll [...]
