* Read email and blogs, and noted that More Hallowe'en Name Whacking and Surname Saturday -- GRANT (England to colonial New England) posted. Wrote Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Hallowe'en Memories and Family History and set it for later.
* Left at 9:40 a.m. for the FamilySearch Center to lead the SDGS RootsMagic class. We had 11 in attendance. Some good questions - I couldn't answer them all. Left at 12:30 p.m.
* Home by 1 p.m. for the wood inspection, then online to read and add to the Best Of post. Took a nap.
* Up at 3 p.m. to read, then answered email - did the Las Vegas contract and the SCGS contract and more.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV and eat dinner, read the paper, watched the World Series, and clipped some of the rose bushes. We had only 7 trick-or-treaters tonight, all after dark, and none from the block.
* Online at 8:30 p.m. to read, check Facebook, and write this post. Genealogy today was 9.0 hours.
