Good. Moving on...
Yesterday, more day-job hunting, basement-cleaning, general networking and skills-practice time in the morning. In the afternoon, I took up the invitation of another OSFS member to go see Sherlock Holmes - the new edition with Downey and Law as Holmes and Watson - at the Rideau Centre. It was a fun two-hour stretch, both for the effort to take the Holmes canon and crossbreed it with what the writers, Mr. Ritchie and co. considered some of the better elements of the Indiana Jones and 007 franchises. Also, it looks like they decided to try their own approach to filling in a gap in the canon while they were about all those other chores. (Anything further on that point will constitute spoilers for those who haven't already seen the film.)
It worked well enough.
