Tom and I took in "Sherlock Holmes" today. I didn't hate it, but I can see why some of our friends did. The worst part, for me, was that, after seeing the trailers, I wanted to see "Iron Man 2," and not "Sherlock Holmes."

I do wonder why, if a writer or filmmaker wants to do something original, they make hash of someone else's idea, rather than coming up with something completely original. If the leads had been named something other than Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, half the objections to the film would have been eliminated.

I'm more than 3' into the scarf I started yesterday. The colors are pretty.
