Eric, the blacksmith is back, and that means Sherlock Holmes.

And judging by the responses that I had, I had said, I think, earlier in the first show, that nobody doesn't like Sherlock Holmes.

I don't know.

I just had a gut feeling.

I never talk about it a lot with anyone, but it would seem that is, in fact, the case.

And I think that's good news.

And I think it stands also for the value of Doyle's work and the creativity involved that has lasted all this time.

So, Eric, thanks a lot for coming back.

And I think you'd agree, wouldn't you, that Sherlock Holmes, you know, we don't really think

that much about it.

But as a fictional character, he has stood pretty much the test of time.

Yeah, he has, Keith.

And thanks for having me on for Part 2.

It's not like I had a choice.

You called me taking a sip of coffee.

You're supposed to run with that.

All right.

Now, you had said at the close of the last show, you're kind of going to take us back to the beginning.

Yes.

Oh, and I also wanted to interject that I hope you had a good Thanksgiving Day.

Mine was good.

It was fast and painless.
