Today was a fairly low-key Sunday for the sweetie-wife and myself. We visited a married couple who are good friend but do to the hustle and bustle of life we had not seen recently. It was a very good visit and time flew by more rapidly than we had anticipated. Afterward we drive to Pacific Beach had lunch at The Broken Yolk, (because the Sweetie-wife had seen a bumpersticker and had misread it as The DrunkenYak what a great name for a D&D tavern.) I had chili as I still need to avoid food that require me to tear with my front teeth. (Until my permeant crowns are in place I have a limited diet with lots of cut up food plans.)
She shopped at Trader Joe’s and I played gamed on my iPhone, then it was back home to finish watching the pilot episode of the BBC’s series SHERLOCK. Man I really really like that show. I think they have nailed the Sherlock Holmes character rather well. I hope that they do not lose as the series progresses.

Just 3? dang it.
Anyway I think this Holmes is fairly close to the one I read in ‘A Study In Scarlet.’
Agree with Nolly. The dialog sparkles! I think the modern Holmes is somewhat more of a pain in the butt than the original but it increases the tension between characters nicely. (I would rent out a flat to the original Holmes. Iwould NOT rent one out to the modern Holmes!)
I LOVE that show! Only three eps in the first series, and the third is a major cliffhanger, but they have approved a second series.
