New Sherlock

We've been watching the new BBC series, "Sherlock." It is all kinds of great. It will show up on PBS "Masterpiece" eventually, but if you can see it earlier, do it. There are three episodes, each 90-minutes worth of wonderful.

Script by Doctor Who writers-Gattis and Moffat...modern London, snarky text messages, amazing actors...music...and they let Sherlock be sexy! Woot!

They manage to take the essential bits of the original stories and weave them into a contemporary script. You can see what happens when a couple of Holmes fanboys ride the train from London to Cardiff and back to make "Doctor Who" and get to musing about a new series. Heh.

Driving Ms. Kitty

We had a fun time tagging along with our pal Bex while she went to meet a kitty today. Bex took the train up here, met the kitty, and liked the kitty! So we drove her and the kitty home to Bridgeport, CT! It was a lovely day for a drive. Other than the 10-mile back-up prior to the Sturbridge exit off the Pike, it was an easy trip. The cat described her confusion and annoyance with little chirpy meows, but was otherwise a very calm passenger.

We watched as the kitty checked out her new digs, boofing and swiping everything in sight. She got a welcome plate of tuna and seemed quite content.

Bex treated us to an amazing dinner at Epernay Bistro. It's right downtown, not far off I-95 in Bridgeport. Great food, friendly service, lovely decor...quite a find!

We headed north to Waterbury to our favorite Courtyard by Marriott hotel, and had a nice soak in their huge jacuzzi in the pool area.

A good deed, a great dinner...a great day!
