I have heard so many times about how Mary Morstan was a saint because she tolerated Dr. Watson running off with Holmes when no other wife would. The male-only clubs existed so that the men could get away from their nagging wives and spend an evening with the dudes. I won't deny that there are *some* wives who insist on spending every moment with their husbands (just as similar husbands exist), but this antiquated mentality really needs to end. Just because this fandom has its roots in the Victorian era, doesn't mean we have to act like we're still there.

My dear husband leaves every year for four or five days on a scuba trip to Cozumel with the guys, and I just look up over the top of the canon and wish him a fabulous trip...

There are a handful of Sherlockian couples who receive invitations to the dinner.<br /><br />Not sure why a membership-based society has to have an open invitation policy for its annual dinner, when it already welcomes spouses to things like the lecture and cocktail reception (during the BSI Weekend) and other BSI events and expeditions (Silver Blaze, the UCLA film gathering, etc.). I personally believe that the BSI has a nice balance between open invitation and exclusive gatherings.<br /><br /><br />Scott Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17710406470860389078noreply@blogger.com
