Now that the dust has settled, I can post some pics from this treats #BSIWeekend. This is a small group with 3 newly invested #BSI (Gary Thaden, Shana Carter, & Louise Haskett) and the latest 2 Shilling recipient, Andrew Solberg!

A little AI removal help.
For years I've wanted a picture of us siblings in our finest. And now I have one. :)
A couple of photos of me from just before Friday night's annual dinner meeting of the Baker Street Irregulars. Huge thanks to my dear friend Will Walsh for the snaps. β€οΈ

A few shots from last night's ASH Wednesday dinner. My favorite is Rosemary Herbert and Evy Herzog: Evy picketed the 1968 BSI dinner looking for gender equality & Rosemary crashed the (then) all-male Speckled Band of Boston dinner in 1974 by dressing (& passing) as a man.

This has to be my Christmas card next year. ;)
A pit stop at Culver's on my way to Des Moines. Caught up on paperwork. Billing has been sent in. Out of office response set up on my email. Tomorrow I catch a flight to New York and spend 5 days hanging out with (and selling books and merch to) my nerdy friends. #Sherlockian

The Saturday luncheon used to be open to all, but we're battling room maximums. I'm hoping for a venue change in the future so all can once again attend. :)
I usually step it up a little bit for #BSI events at the Yale Club. These are from the last couple of dinners and Saturday luncheons respectively. I go all out for the dinner (it's the one time a year I pamper myself).
