My Non-Geneaholic Sunday - 31 August 2014

It was not a good (or bad) genealogy day...just a typical summer Sunday in the genea-cave.  And the last day of August.  2014 is now two thirds gone, monthwise!  I need to start planning for 2015 trips, presentations, conferences, etc.

*  Read email and blogs, finished up the Best of the Genea-Blogs - 24 to 30 August 2014 post.

*  We went off to church at 9:30 a.m., and home by 11:30 a.m.  Watched TV news while Linda did her thing on the computer.  Online briefly at 12:30 to read and add to the FGS post.

*  Went in at 1:10 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, take a nap.  Padres lost 7-1 to the Dodgers.  Drat.  Bullpen failed.  

*  Online at 4:15 p.m. to read, then started the Amanuensis Monday post.

*  Went in for dinner at 5 p.m., watched TV news, watered the front year, and washed dishes.

*  Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, then work in the FamilySearch Family Tree - ran into all kinds of roadblocks due to being unable to merge people.  Answered some email.  Checked Facebook.  

*  Searched for something to write for Monday...finally did it.  Wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 5.0 hours.
