Great story and message! Thanks!#2: Ruby Hammer (rubyqhammer) on Mar 4, 2013
My husband and I enjoy the new series called Elementary. I always thought that Sherlock Holmes was a fictional character.#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Mar 4, 2013
Welcome back! Excellent puzzle and enjoyed the history lesson. The fairly recent and longer running series on PBS showed him indulging in his addiction. And what a great insight you gained from your son.#4: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Mar 4, 2013
Thx Dave,I wasn't aware. I'm glad you quit after what your son said,enjoy your good health and your son.:)#5: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Mar 4, 2013

Thanks all!#9: Tonia Bergh (tonia) on Mar 5, 2013 [SPOILER]
Norma - I'm glad to be back (the last couple of months have been a long slog). I've missed all the drama here.
Aldege - Tam and I have loved every moment, every phase, of being parents. The three of us are very close even with Alex away at college and every extra day we get to have to be together is a blessing - Thanks!
Ruby, I apologize for the confusion but John is right - As real as Holmes and Watson feel to us fans, they are still only the incredible invention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I haven't seen that new show yet but I've heard good reviews.

Watch SHERLOCK with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman!!!#21: Stephanie Walker (callmeseverus) on Nov 15, 2018
Fabulous series (which, incidentally, includes Holmes' drug addiction)!#22: Meg Smith (mamadragonfreak) on Nov 15, 2018
I love the Benedict Cumberbatch version as well as the TV series ELEMENTARY. then there are the movies with Robert Downey Jr.#23: Ga Hendrick (GaHendrick) on Nov 15, 2018
What a poignant story to go with the puzzle. For many of us addiction of one sort or another haunts our families.#24: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Nov 16, 2018 [SPOILER]
I am glad stories do include the challenges of overcoming such addictions.
It is also a struggle for those of us who are parents if we tell children not to smoke, not to drink ... and they see family members doing so.
