I like noting when Holmes or ACD clues come up on Jeopardy. On April 17, under "Brit Bits" for $800, the clue was "For Queen Mary's Dolls' House at Windsor Castle, he hand-wrote a miniature manuscript entitled 'How Watson Learned the Trick'." The solution was "Who is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle."

I enjoy the online comic xkcd, and love Sherlock Holmes. It’s fun when interests intersect. imgs.xkcd.com/comics/elimi... Phil

I’m enjoying the Olympics, especially the figure skating. I’m reminded that the wife of Herbert Greenhough-Smith (Strand editor), Dorothy Vernon Greenhough-Smith (née Muddock) won a bronze medal in figure skating in the 1908 Olympics in London. That was the first Olympics that figure skating. 1/3

New blog post on a new article - on the first known reference that Doyle made to his first Sherlock story. 221bcooee.blogspot.com/2025/06/unta...

Preparing to send abt 120 more vintage/rare/unusual Sherlockian greeting cards to Univ of Minnesota’s Sherlock Holmes Collections. They’ll join my previous gift of 1,145 similar Sherlockian cards. Next time you visit Minneapolis, ask to view the Fetherston Collection. Labor of love, for sure!

Today the Norwegian Explorers' Red Throated League gave a Sherlock Holmes radio play presentation at the Pavek Radio Museum. A wonderful time. @norwegianexplorers.bsky.social

Another interesting answer on Jeopardy! The category was Very Distant Relatives.

Seeing Linus at the Elmer L. Andersen Library, U of Minnesota, always makes me smile.

While in Atlanta for the #221bcon we went to the Center for Puppetry Arts. Saw this symbol for kids doing a scavenger hunt. Sherlockian symbols abound!

On Jeopardy today there was a Sherlockian question. The Clues Crew does like to pose questions about the Canon.

Thank you Sonia for your wonderful donation to the Collections. @norwegianexplorers.bsky.social take note.

Forgot the hashtag. #Watson

So, what are the thoughts on the new show "Watson"? For me, good so far, has potential. A lot like House. Similar to Elementary in that whole that was good, it only felt 15% Sherlockian. Introducing Moriarty this soon has me worried that the writers will try for too much. But I'll watch more.
