Lost Symbol

Posted on by

I finished reading the book. I can’t wait to see the film. It was good fun, easy reading, improbable and silly at times but still a good read.

From my office I can see the Masonic Temple AND the Washington Monument. I am triangulated between both. What does that mean? And I live right near CIA HQ. Is this all a coincidence or part of a bigger plot?

In the beginning was the word and the word was…I can’t tell you. Read the book.

But someone sure went through a lot of trouble to bury one word UNDER the Washington Monument.

I hope this book helps drive additional tourism throughout DC. I will drive by some of the addresses mentioned in the book one Saturday just to check them out and see if they are real.

Dan Brown is a writer that is breathless and the books sell briskly. They read like made-for-TV movies. This one was a fun read but it won’t top The Da Vinci Code for sales or controversy.

And our President just won a Nobel Prize and he has a name that spans generations and sounds Muslim. Does this fulfill the prophecies?

And the Shriners? Rock the Red Fez next! Who knew?

“The Lost Symbol”

The reviews - as you would expect – aren’t so great. I think newspaper writers are just jealous of Dan Brown and his mega bestselling success.

I am about 150 pages in to the new book. I like it. It is fast paced. It is very articulate about DC and many of the buildings we see every day. It is factual and insightful about our city; its architecture; and much of its history.

We do live in a city built by Free Masons. Our city planner was connected to George Washington in numerous personal ways. The dollar bill is loaded with symbols that are of interest to code breakers. This book is fun. It will soon be turned into yet another film. Read the book. Enjoy the ride. Blow off the critics.

And remember, as I drove to the Capitals Convention yesterday, we went right by the Mason Temple in Arlington, a place where George Washington’s wooden dentures are hidden. Ever wonder why? :-) And why is that building placed where it is in a triangular shape across from the Washington Monument? And guess where it intersects and end points as a triangle? Kettler Capitals Iceplex! What is buried deep under our ice? Why did we change our color scheme and what is the meaning of our new logo? Why is the Capitol Dome placed where it is? Coincidence? You decide.
