Another month has passed from present to past - they sure go by quickly these days! It's been an interesting month for Genea-Musings as the Whittle search continues. Oh - we went to the Padres game today - we lost 1-0 to the Cubs. The Padres had a pretty bad month of September - 12-15 I think it was. First rain since the spring here as we had lightning and thunder around all day.
* Read my email and blogs - I'm using both Google Reader and Bloglines now - need to go completely to Reader to avoid wasting time. Wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - Betty's Baptismal Record using image from Sunday's Scanfest.
* Wrote The Children of Alexander and Rachel (Morley) Whittle - Joseph Whittle and set it for later in the morning. Got cleaned up!
* Did more newspaper searching for the Whittles and McKnews - found Elijah's and Jane's death notices, but not much else. Added them to the database.
* Had lunch, then worked on the FORUM column. Got the first draft finished - but too many words. Always too many words, it seems! Will streamline it a bit on the morrow. Reviewed SDGS web site designs and provided opinions.
* Linda wanted to go to the Padres game - the last home game on the schedule, so we left at 2 PM for Subway, got the 2:30 trolley and had tickets in hand by 3 PM, plenty of time. Rained hard for about ten minutes, then not much more once game started late at 3:55 PM. Padres lost 1-0. Now 88-71, 3 games back of Giants in NL West and 2 back of Braves in wild card. Believe it or not, Padres can make the playoffs by winning their next three games against Giants!
* Home by 8 PM, read everything, wrote The Whittle Research Compendium, checked Facebook, worked on OASIS presentation and handout for Monday, and Twitter, then wrote this post.
