A few weeks after coming to Boston, HBO started running an excellent new series, John Adams. Nice syncronicity and well worth watching.
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 [...]

More Danes questing in the Land of Dreams …
Two of my very good Danish friends, Kristian and Jacob, are travelling across the states, chronicling their journeys at Roadsidediaries.org. They have gone from Atlanta, to Florida and New Orleans, and they are currently holed up in a shack, somewhere out of bounds in the Mississippi Delta. [...]

I was fascinated by a series of photos (from Danish newspaper, Politiken) that I want to share: These are Spanish Catholic lodges (no Masonic relation), who celebrate Easter in a Good Friday procession wearing hooded robes and carrying candles.

Grail Quest is now featured on King Solomon’s Blog, which aggregates dozens of Masonic blogs.
Used to be, just little over a year ago, there were only a handful of Masonic blogs around, mainly American, and although I am not questioning whether they had a just cause, they did seem generally to run on the belligerent [...]

Another Masonic reference at the movies: Shoot’em Up, apparently a spoof on Hong Kong actioners, made famous in the West by John Woo. Paul Giamatti, an excellent actor more versed in the indie genre, hams it up as a hitman who for some reason carries a Square & Compasses lapelpin. You can just catch a [...]
