The latest issue hath arrived in today's mail! Royal mail success! @sherlockholmesmag.co.uk #SherlockHolmes

Rare Captain Carvallo autographed play program (1950). Several autographs, including Cedrick Hardwicke, Katherine Cornell, and Nigel Bruce (twice).

Today was #TheSpeckledBand. Next up? The Five Orange Pips.

Just finished rereading The Musgrave Ritual whilst drinking coffee.

Haven't been on the socials much lately. Too much depressing news, so here's a press photo from "The House of Fear" I acquired a week or two ago. This angle does not appear in the American release, but a closeup does around mins 35-38. #SherlockHolmes #BasilRathbone #NigelBruce #HouseofFear

1942 "Journey for Margaret" lobby card w/Nigel Bruce. Not really Holmes-related, other than Bruce is in it. #NigelBruce

Ok. Here's Hercule Poirot. I think some facial hair coloring is necessary though!

His probably "never worn" Stetson ran hundreds. And it sits in its box at home except for the (rare) removal for a pic

Hearing a lot of complaints about Brett pipes at auction on FB. A collection of 3 church wardens that went for $4000, so a little over $1000 each from his private collection. Considering Bruce's ran me in the same range for a single several years ago, this seems fair. And Bruce had hundreds.

Breakfast waffles are round here. Eggo, diner, Waffle House...

A few days ago my 1st edition autographed copy of #BasilRathbone 's 1962 "In and Out of Character" arrived.

It just kinda leapt into my carry on. 😉

@scalzi.com look what's on the stand in little ol' Sanford airport Hudson's!

1st-ever Denisovan skull identified thanks to DNA analysis Scientists have determined that a giant skull from an ancient human relative named the "Dragon Man" is actually Denisovan.

We now know what Denisovans looked like, thanks to DNA analysis that proved Homo longi (the Harbin cranium) is indeed Denisovan! 🧪🏺

Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change? Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

The environmental liberal arts college of my youth may have closed, but Dexter library will live on in these gifts as the library collections were sold off. 8 of 9 volumes (less the Casebook of Sherlock Holmes). #SherlockHolmes

As I long to be "across the pond" and am recovering from surgery, I took the time to complete a couple legos that aren't SH themed. But do you sense some kind of theme here?
