I’m reading the Sherlock Holmes Mysteries on Kindle. Starting with the four novels he wrote. Basil Rathbone was such a good Sherlock! LOL! About the only one I’ve seen since who was any good, is Robert Downey, Jr.

How are things in your neck of the woods?

Naw, Jeremy Brett was brilliant as Holmes!

We have “Color Your Own Sherlock Holmes Graphic Novel” for your vacation entertainment ...

Dover has some more travel books I’d like to have ... maybe I’ll go order them, and the new Steampunk coloring book. Since I didn’t get the DVDs from Ignatius, why not?

Jeremy Brett was the best. He absolutely captured Sherlock as he was written.

Basil merely played him as we'd like to think he is!

“A Study in Scarlet is interesting, but not good on Mormons. ACD was not very friendly to religions other than his. The “Piltdown Man” still cracks me up, though. That was a famous hoax he perpetrated.

You will hear no arguments from me about that statement!
Grew-up (open to debate) watching the black and white episodes with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.
They are, as far as i'm concerned, Holmes and Dr Watson.

And a very Good Morning to you 'Face. :)
