The International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes
The Center of Science and Industry [COSI] in my hometown of Columbus is the second stop for this fabulous interactive Holmes experience. It runs 8 February-1 September.
Does this look amazing or does this look amazing? Your call. I am going next month. I’ll be sure to do a follow-up post!

This afternoon, we plunged in the brisk, bracing waters of yet another social media platform: tumblr.
You can find us here.
There is no pressure, dear readers. If you are on tumblr, it would be just lovely if you clicked the follow button. If not, no worries. We aren’t going anywhere, we are just sharing our love.
Things to know: some of the lighter content on tumblr will be exclusive to that site. Our horizons will be a bit larger there, too. Fashion, tea, silent movies, punk rock, history…
Have a lovely evening!
A kicky reminder for you, or the writer in your life.
