Ah, one thing I forgot to mention about the movie, and something I hope I am not spoiling since I had seen this clip on the preview, was the technical overview of the fight in Holmes's head. This was pretty much exactly how I imagined Batman would fight. Also, I never really pictured Sherlock Holmes as a man who would rely on combat or physical feats (as opposed to Batman), but would be more of a mastermind while leaving the dirty work to the police. (Batman, on the other hand, would only rely on himself to do just about everything.)
Ah well, the movie was still enjoyable.
So our annual Winter holidays get together with the high school crew took place this afternoon. We had pretty much the regulars show up again this year. There were also a lot of kids again, and I am sure the number will only grow as the years progress.
I went over my invite list and discovered that a number of the e-mail addresses were out of date, so I have been tracking down a more recent listing. Facebook helps for those I have connected to (which is remarkably few). The others will have to come by word of mouth.
I have been using e-vite to send out the invitations but I am finding it quite annoying to keep track of two e-mail lists (considering that e-vite does not seem to like deleting old e-mail addresses and the interface is cumbersome). Next year I think I will try Google Calendar and see how well that goes.

Never read any of the books but apparently Holmes is quite skilled with the fisticuffs and various weapons. He had to go "old school" with Moriarty, after all. -- HKL

Yes, Holmes is a capable fighter and can certainly use a gun. He only went "old school" with Moriarty because his fans wanted more stories! (Or he would have stayed dead.)
