Hello, bullpups!

It’s time to register for this month’s meeting. We will meet on Zoom on Sunday, April 26, at 2pm ET/1pm CT, and we’ll be discussing the goings-on at 221B Con this past month. If you attended Con, please come with your memories and anything you want to share in show-and-tell!

All Sherlockians are welcome — you do not have to be a member to attend.

Hello, Watsonians! Sorry for the all-caps, but I wanted to make sure I got your attention. Are you got? Excellent.

We will be going back one hour to 1 p.m. ET on our next meeting after all. That’s 1 p.m. Eastern/noon Central on Sunday the 29th, and the meeting will last one hour exactly. Why? Well, at 2 p.m. ET, Ed Pettit (JHWS “Pipes”) will be hosting the next episode of Sherlock Monthly with Dan Stashower and Derrick Belanger as co-hosts, and they will be discussing “The Adventure of the Devil’s Foot.” We want to make sure that we’re not conflicting with this one-time Sunday edition of Sherlock Monthly, and that any Sherlockians who want to make it to both virtual events can do so!

So what’s our agenda? Since our attendance has changed so much in the past few years, we’re bringing back an old discussion topic and seeing what we can come up with this time!

In The Sign of the Four, Watson says of Mary Morstan: “In an experience of women which extends over many nations and three separate continents, I have never looked upon a face which gave a clearer promise of a refined and sensitive nature.” Which three continents do you think Watson is speaking of? And for that matter, what are the “many nations” we think he’s visited? Join us on the 29th to share your ideas!

It’s been a while since we held a Watson Consultation and called a patient subject into Watson’s examination room and checked on their Watson-based afflictions via interview. After some rounds of questioning by our resident practitioner, we’ll open things up for the gallery to ask a few questions of their own, to make sure we miss nothing of seriousness in our diagnosis. Our subject this month will be long time member of the John H. Watson Society and literary sort, Margie Deck.

Here’s the link to sign up and see what we find out:

The time has come at last for the masks to come off, for Moriarty’s minions to be exposed, and the John H. Watson Society to be as free of Moriarty as a Morris Chestnut Watson!

Sunday, October 26, 2025th, at noon Central Standard Time, the John H. Watson Society will gather on Zoom for our October meeting. It’ll be a Zoom costume party, so come in whatever guise suits you, Sherlockian or not. We’ll wind up our game of London 1891, we’ll see what’s new with us in the last month, and meander into our usual chat.

Here’s the registration link! Come and see who . . . and what . . . turns up!

The time has come once again for the spirit of John H. Watson to whistle up his bull pups for their monthly meeting over the digital streams. The date is Sunday, September 28, 2025, and the time is high noon Central Standard Time. Things are getting serious for the residents of London 1891 as we approach October’s finality and the veil between the solid and the spirit world grows thin. If you’d like to find out exactly what that all means, or just want to be present for it, here’s a registration link:

Baker Street may have been like an oven in August, as Watson told us in “The Adventure of the Cardboard Box,” but how hot will the August meeting of the John H. Watson Society be at high noon CST, Sunday, August 24th? Will a Victorian Londoner from 1891 die of heat stroke or Moran’s bullet?
