Introduction
My name is Rob Kemppainen. I am 60, married and have three grown sons. I am a Lutheran Pastor in Central Minnesota. My wife is a Public Health Nurse and Lactation Specialist. Oldest son sells Macintosh Computers in Vancouver. Middle son is a project coordinator for BC Hydro, also in Vancouver. Youngest son is an aspiring author (ebooks) including The Fall of Haven, Exodus and Uprising and The Legend of Ivan (my favorite). I like to write music, including rock, country, bluegrass, choral, and barbershop. I got to this site because 1) I have read all the original Sherlock Holmes stories (I think), 2) I love the BBC treatment of the story lines, and 3) I wrote the Holmes/Watson camping joke into a song.

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

I was wondering if you'd like to have coffee...
Hmm. I really don't know. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say 'know'? I meant 'care'. I don't really care.

Welcome Rob! The ninety-five Theses have a certain Sherlockian ring to them.

I am checking with a moderator to see if it is permitted to post a link to the song, as it is monetized on You Tube.

Re: Introduction
welcome, rob K!!! I am glad to know you. I hope you have as much fun here as we sherlockians have been having. I don't share personal info very much, but I am a female who is hearing impaired, who loves Sherlock and ACD canon stories as well.
Maybe you could post the lyrics to the song here? I'd love to "hear" it.

Re: Introduction
Dear everyone,
I have received permission to post my song/video. I will be posting it in the General Discussion Area.
I monetized the song on You Tube because, why not? You will see a brief ad for something or other,
something I have no connection with. You are stuck watching some of the ad, a few seconds before they let you watch the video, but after a little bit it can be skipped. The ads so far have been for upcoming movies and one for Home Depot.
I hope you enjoy "Elementary!"
