Day 1462: The Abominable Bride

Sherlock Holmes, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, is my absolute favorite thing on tv.  We've had to wait months for a new episode and the next series will not be released until 2017.  It is the only program I watch with my full attention.  It's intellectually tantalizing, darkly romantic and curious.  I love the language complexity and the speed of the banter between Holmes and every other character.  Only rarely can I figure out the mystery.  We watch the episodes multiple times to squeeze every detail and nuance from the story.

I've done all I can on the Triumphs chapter until responses come in from the school officials.  I combed through the text again today and made a few more modifications.  It's at 5.5 pages and I think I may expand it only one more page.  It's very satisfying to be so far along.

Even the concluding chapter is underway, though that is dependent on a few interviews.  All are complete except one, the young man who hiked the Appalachian Trail.  Twelve days left to meet my goal!

I had a terrible night with this cold.  Coughing, dripping, aching, tossing. Much of the day was the same, but I was still able to work.   Hope tonight will be better.
