I watched an ancient Sherlock Holmes movie with Basil Rathbone yesterday and immediately thought of you.

And I'm deeply sorry about that library issue. *hugs you close*

You're in the US, so you can watch the Ronald Howard/H. Marion Crawford series over at Hulu. After you get used to Watson's mustache, they're a lot of fun. *grin*
