Rob-I thought ...Thanks everyone for your comments!<br /><br />Rob-I thought you were a folk-ster?<br /><br />Eve-Konnikova has an interesting take on the counting steps episode. Personally, I think Watson deserves more praise for not snapping and punching Holmes right in the nose.<br /><br />Elizabeth-Kids love Holmes! My 9-yr old has discovered Holmes stories on audio and is hooked.<br /><br />Peter-Thanks for the kind words. Love the T-Shirt! As another Holmes fan since youth, I feel Mastermind is the book about Holmes I've been waiting years to read. It sounds right up your alley as well.Lawrence Maddoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057386966178865691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-23530464300986860392019-02-15T14:02:14.974-05:002019-02-15T14:02:14.974-05:00Great book review.

By age ten through fourteen I'd consumed the Doyle books and still consider them my favorites. Five years ago I discovered Kabat-Zinn and listen to his tapes almost daily. An hours mindfulness every day is so very helpful. (My favorite tee-shirt quote. Mindfulness. It's not what you think.)Porter Lansinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462946359586390472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-59498186742233379672019-02-15T12:52:44.075-05:002019-02-15T12:52:44.075-05:00Even little kids know about Sherlock Holmes.

My daughter said, "No shit, Sherlock" to me when she was in about the third grade.<br /><br />People see what they expect to see, or what interests them, & not much else.

And much else. I never thought about it as mindfulness before. <br />I'll have to check out Konnikova's "Mastermind".

I had never heard of that book (Mastermind, I mean, not Hound of the Baskervilles.) <br /><br />By the way, ARTHUR, by the Kinks, is one of the great rock albums of all time.

On the list… But I’m not familiar with Mastermind. That sounds intriguing, too. It’ll also go on the list. Hopefully I can get to them one of these days. Thanks for the heads up.<br /><br />And how could I not comment on a post that mentions one of my favorite songs, Victoria, from one of my favorite bands (Kinks), from one of my favorite Kinks albums (Arthur)?<br />Paul D.
