My Geneaholic Saturday - 16 August 2014

Didn't sleep well last night for some reason, so was tired today.  I need my 7 hours and can then go all day until about 11 p.m.

*  Read email and blogs quickly, then packed up and went off to the CGSSD meeting at UCSD in La Jolla.  Moderated the RootsMagic SIG meeting, then presented "Crafting Great Source Citations" to the assembled folks.  Not sure if this was a winner - lots of droopy eyes.  It was probably too detailed in the software section...oh well.

*  Home by 12:30, had lunch, read email and blogs, then noted that Surname Saturday - MAVERICK (England to colonial Massachusetts) and Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Genea-Bucket List posted.

*  Went in at 1:15 p.m. to watch TV and take a nap.  Back online at 2:45 p.m. to read, then downloaded several Middlesex County MA probate files for ancestors from AmericanAncestors.org.  Put them in the surname file folders.  Lots more of these to do!

*  Padres game started at 4:15, so read the paper, ate dinner, and Pads had just gone ahead 8-5 in the 7th inning when it rained.  A two hour delay, they won 9-5 over the Cards.  Now 58-64.

*  Online during the rain delay to add to the Best Of post, then added the Thomas Dudley line back to the royals.  Cool - now have three lines done.  I really need some scrolls made...

*  Checked Facebook, wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 8.0 hours.
