Sherlock Peoria: February 2015
http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
The ongoing investigation of Sherlock Holmes, reported from the Peoria, Illinois outpost of Baker Street's dirtiest half a dozen. Saturday, February 28, 2015. This was a test . . . Now that the all the hoo-hah may be over, I still keep waiting for the "all clear" to sound and the announcement that "this was a test of the Emergency Sherlock Verification System." I'd find real comfort in that. So a retired guy (and retired guys are mostly amateur historians, if you hadn't noticed) found a pamphlet with Con...

Sherlock Peoria: June 2015
http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
The ongoing investigation of Sherlock Holmes, reported from the Peoria, Illinois outpost of Baker Street's dirtiest half a dozen. Monday, June 29, 2015. The Return of Deerstalker Duck. Five times. Five times now. And every time I give him away, he just comes back. I think I have a problem. It's this duck with a deerstalker. And then here he is again. But for now, the curse of the deerstalkered duck continues. I should just be thankful it's not a Baskervillian hound from Hell. Sunday, June 28, 2015. S fir...

Sherlock Peoria: Popular, but not Denny's popular.
http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2015/08/popular-but-not-dennys-popular.html
The ongoing investigation of Sherlock Holmes, reported from the Peoria, Illinois outpost of Baker Street's dirtiest half a dozen. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Popular, but not Denny's popular. Sherlock Holmes has undeniably been riding a wave of popularity in recent years, but there are mountains yet for him to climb. Hit movies and popular TV shows are one thing . . . but has he had his own menu item at Denny's yet? What pancakes might be served under the endorsement of Inspector Lestrade? Coming up with She...

Sherlock Peoria: December 2014
http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
The ongoing investigation of Sherlock Holmes, reported from the Peoria, Illinois outpost of Baker Street's dirtiest half a dozen. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. It took me a while to get to the last episode of Elementary. For 2014. But any curiosity I had about it, not really caring all that much about spoilers, was easy to rectify. Why? But don't go by the headlines - CelebrityDirtyLaundry.com went with the sensational headline "Sherlock Is Violated". Sunday, December 28, 2014. A Sherlock Holmes wine tour.

Sherlock Peoria: November 2014
http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
The ongoing investigation of Sherlock Holmes, reported from the Peoria, Illinois outpost of Baker Street's dirtiest half a dozen. Sunday, November 30, 2014. A guy who enjoyed art. Word came along the Sherlockian grapevine yesterday of the passing of Stu Shiffman. A fellow whose talents I always greatly appreciated. When I was publishing The Holmes and Watson Report. My favorite by far, however, was the time Stu popped up with a Sherlockian adaptation of a classic cover from DC's Flash. Now, recaps are no...

Sherlock Peoria: The good work of Sherlockiana.
http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-good-work-of-sherlockiana.html
The ongoing investigation of Sherlock Holmes, reported from the Peoria, Illinois outpost of Baker Street's dirtiest half a dozen. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. The good work of Sherlockiana. August can be a time of Sherlockian doldrums for those of us not lucky enough to get to some summer convocation like last weekend's GridLOCK con. The internet has been pretty quiet since Mr. Holmes. To watch on TV, new Conan Doyle tales of Adventures. Publish newsletters, journals, or books? The Annual John H. Watson...

Sherlock Peoria: Regarding quizzes . . . .
http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2015/07/regarding-quizzes.html
The ongoing investigation of Sherlock Holmes, reported from the Peoria, Illinois outpost of Baker Street's dirtiest half a dozen. Friday, July 31, 2015. Regarding quizzes . . . . Do I seem a little bitter about the quizzes? Ask a devout ex-smoker how they feel about cigarettes, and you might get a similar reaction. For the Sherlockian quiz and I . . . oh, we have danced. And now comes " The Annual John H. Watson Canonical Treasure Hunt. Will this go-round end in joy, or more alcohol and rude behaviour?

Sherlock Peoria: October 2014
http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
The ongoing investigation of Sherlock Holmes, reported from the Peoria, Illinois outpost of Baker Street's dirtiest half a dozen. Friday, October 31, 2014. E3:1 The painful details. Perhaps I was a little too light on my comments on the third season premiere of CBS's Elementary. So let's get a little more in depth . . . Joan Watson is a mystery-solving machine. Captain Gregson doesn't want him back, and lectures Mr. Elementary like a schoolboy who's missed a few classes: "You want to come back, that'...

The ongoing investigation of Sherlock Holmes, reported from the Peoria, Illinois outpost of Baker Street's dirtiest half a dozen. Monday, August 31, 2015. A Study in Jelly Bellies. Forget the violent video games, tonight I learned that children . . . THE CHILDREN, I TELL YOU! What am I talking about? Well, you remember Jefferson Hope, don't you? Now, the Jelly Belly company has come out with their Jelly Belly BeanBoozled. And matching those gag-worthy beans with tasty flavors in IDENTICAL beans. Are you ...

Sherlock Peoria: Watson is always British, even in the land of the impossible.
http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2015/08/watson-is-always-british-even-in-land.html
The ongoing investigation of Sherlock Holmes, reported from the Peoria, Illinois outpost of Baker Street's dirtiest half a dozen. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Watson is always British, even in the land of the impossible. While I wouldn't have expected the new movie Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. To be anything on our Sherlockian map, yesterday's trip to the movies turned out to be a little bit of a surprise. The climax to my Watsonian thoughts about Pegg exploded, however, when . . . . Ozymandias did kno...
