A fairly full and varied genealogy day, but aren't they all! Then WDYTYA? tonight.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Keeping Genealogists Informed. Worked on updating the OASIS Class 4 presentation and handout. Damn OpenOffice really mangles some MSWord documents. Lost many of my bullets, tabs and had to work at making it look good. At least now I have a full set of OO versions to work with, but don't have good bullets and tabs. I'd hate to rewrite it. Printed off a black/white copy.
* Answered some emails, then printed off my FGS FORUM articles for show and tell next week. Ate lunch, and off to walk on the bayfront.
* Had a nice walk with George, then to the library to look for a reading book, and then to UPS Store to print off my Class 3 and 4 handouts.
* Home by 1:45 to read everything, then wrote Dear Randy: Are all of the people in your family tree related to you? Well, yes and no, not all.
* Did some online research, answered more email. I have the list burned down to 5! Found I had an earlier version of my RootsMagic database. Hate when that happens. Didn't do any changing in the wrong version, thank goodness. Only noticed it when I checked the Source list - was using the 2/23 version instead of the 2/24 version. Note to self: Delete the earlier versions!
* Went in at 5:30 to watch TV, eat dinner and read the paper. Back online at 6:30 to read everything, check Facebook but not Twitter (to avoid WDYTYA spoilers), then worked on source citation edits for awhile. Got the E's done and most of the F's.
* Watched WDYTYA? - the Kim Cattrall episode was basically the English show with American voiceovers. Caught on in the first 15 minutes. Wrote WDYTYA - Kim Cattrall - Deja Vu! immediately afterwards. A decent show, I grade it a B+. I'm still waiting to be really genea-smacked, I guess.
* Read Twitter and Facebook, and Banai commented on my post, then added to the Best Of post and wrote this post.
