This was the hectic "day before we go on the cruise" day - and there were things to do and places to see.
* Read email and blogs in a hurry, and off to the SDGS seminar at Mission Bay. Got there by 8:30 a.m. and sat with three CVGS ladies. Saw two of Geoff's presentations, had lunch with Diane and the speakers, and then attended Karen's first talk. I left at 1:45 p.m. and was home by 2:15 to read, note that Surname Saturday - TRIPP (England - colonial Rhode Island) and Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - How Many Children/Grandchildren in Your Birth Surname Line? posted.
* Went in at 3:15 to read the paper and take a short nap, and we left before 4 for dinner at In 'n' Out and the trolley to Petco Park for the Padres game. In our seats by 5 p.m., and watched the Padres lose to the Dodgers 4-0. So we end up 11-10 at Petco Park this year.
* Home by 9 p.m. to fire up the laptop and add the last RM file and GEDCOM to the laptop, plus the latest files for the cruise. Put all of the electronic stuff in the bedroom and will pack the laptop on Sunday morning.
* Finished up the Best Of post and got it ready for Sunday, and wrote this post.
Genealogy today was 7.0 hours.
The Geneaholic will be dark for several weeks as we go on the Legacy Family Tree cruise. I will have daily posts about where we are and at least some of the daily meme posts on Genea-Musings, plus some reviews. I ran out of time to write new posts on different issues or to create posts from the "Best of Genea-Musings" files. You can read those at Genea-Musings' "Best" Posts.
Genealogy and family research are an obsession for me. Yea, verily, I am a Geneaholic!

My Genealogy Friday - 20 September 2013
Disappointment, genealogy work, visiting, Padres win...my day in the Genealogy Cave.
* Read email and blogs, noted that Follow-Up Friday - Helpful and Interesting Reader Comments posted.
* Contact at the school called to say they didn't need me there today. Explained I was gone the next two weeks...oh, well, call when you get back. I will. Warned him two weeks ago about our cruise.
* So I spent the time wisely, writing genealogy blogs and getting stuff moved to Dropbox to add to the laptop. Wrote the SNGF post for Saturday.
* Went off to the pharmacy to get stuff...for the trip. Home to write First Look at Family Tree Maker 2014 - Post 5: New Family View Report. Then A FREE Swedish Genealogy Research Day in San Diego - October 19, 2013 and set it for later.
* Did some online research adding content and sources to the database.
* Went in at 4:45 p.m. to watch TV news, we ate dinner, and Geoff and Tanya came at 5:15 to pick up the Legacy boxes. We chatted for awhile, and then loaded up their SUV. We'll see more of them on the cruise.
* Online at 6 p.m. to check Facebook, then did more online research. Made a GEDCOM of the file and closed RootsMagic, then saved both files to Dropbox to have on the laptop on the cruise.
* Went in at 7:10 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, and finish my Patterson book. Linda wanted instruction on Facebook so I missed some of the game. Padres beat Dodgers 2-0, so no 72-81 on the year. We go on Saturday night.
* Online at 10:10 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, check Facebook and write this post.

* Read email and blogs, wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - Post 182: 1920 U.S. Census Record for the Henry Carringer Household in San Diego, California and then wrote Family Tree Webinars Offers Free Viewing for Limited Time and set it for later. Answered some email and worked in Legacy for awhile.
* Almost forgot to go off at 10:40 a.m. for the Rohr retired engineers lunch. It was a lively group, my friend George is back from Greece really tan and fit.
* Home by 1 p.m. to read, answer email and write Making a Descendants Chart Using Legacy Family Tree 7.5.
* Wrote the Follow-Up post for Friday, then checked in on Facebook and added to the Best Of post.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV news, read the paper, and eat dinner.

My Genealogy Wednesday - 18 September 2013
We got the phone fixed, but it took two appointments, several phone calls and an ugly wiring job to do it, but it was about the only option. Oh yeah, did some genealogy and the Padres won.
* Read emails, and blogs, and wrote (Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Post 274: Grandparents at our Wedding. for good measure, wrote two more posts.
* Wrote Making a Descendants Chart Using Family Tree Maker 2014 and set it for later.
* Arranged for the lawn cutting, the phone repair was scheduled at 1 p.m., so left for McDonalds and lunch at 11 a.m., got to the library at 11:45, looked in on the Computer Group folks in the dark learning about Windows. Left soon, went to the bank for cash, stopped at the teller and asked about the bank account changeover. He said the automatic payments would be taken care of, except for the SS check, but he filled out a form to send in to take care of it. Cool! That was good news!
* Home by 12:30 p.m., and the phone repair called. They came, changed out a fitting, proclaimed it good, tested it and it worked, and left. Then the phone didn't work again soon after. Rats. Another call to have them come.
* Back to genealogy, worked on CGSSD Meeting on Saturday, 21 September: "Through Their Eyes" with Alice Volkert and posted it.
* Checked email, updated the Best Of post, looked for new databases, and worked on the CVGS Newsletter for October.
* The phone repair guys came at 4:15 p.m., changed us from analog to digital, which required tapping a coaxial line in the family room, and running a coax cable from in back of the TV to the ceiling and to the inside wall and down to the new modem for the phone. Took awhile to get it connected and turned on. But it works, which is better than not working. And it was free (unless we have to rent the modem, I don't think so). Whew.
* We watched the Padres game, I read the paper and dozed, we ate dinner, and the Padres won 3-2 over the Pirates. Did the dishes, took out the trash, and watered the front plants.
* Online at 7 p.m. to read, check Facebook, and do online research adding content and sources. Answered some email, and wrote this post.

My Genealogy Tuesday - 17 September 2013
This was another stay-at-home, almost all-genealogy day, except for dinner time and the Padres game.
* Read email and blogs, wrote Tuesday's Tip - Finding FamilySearch's New or Updated Record Collections. Wrote two more Tuesday's Tips for the next two weeks.
* Wrote Genealogy Rock Star Poll Results, checked Facebook, added my high school grad picture. worked on and wrote Making a Descendant's Chart using RootsMagic 6 and set it for later.
* Answered email, then checked Massachusetts Land Records again form ore Isaac Seaver entries. forgot that the last volume is about 1869 at present. Added to the Best Of post. Organized the Massachusetts folder in Localities into Counties andm oved files into them.
* Went in at 4:15 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, eat dinner, and try to make the damn landline phone work. Sporadic dial tone. Called the phone company on the cell phone, who took my number and said they would get back to me. They never did. Padres won 5-2 over Puirates (now 70-80, won 10 out of 14 now).
* Online at 7:20 p.m. to read, check Facebook (few comments on my photo...), and worked in the database adding content and sources. Did a lot in Higgins and Dill, and found many sources in Mass VRs on American Ancestors. Wrote this post. Phone works!

My Genealogy Sunday - 15 September 2013
September is half over, and I had a very frustrating day with the computer, but the Chargers and Padres won, and I got some things done on the blog today.
* Read email and blogs, finished up the Best of the Genea-Blogs - 8 to 14 September 2013 post but forgot to set it for noontime. Fixed it later.
* Watched NFL Today, the Chargers-Eagles game (great game, 33-30 Bolts, now 1-1), and the end of the Padres game (4-0 over Braves, now 68-80).
* Came in to the computer at 1:40 p.m. and it was slow and then froze. Fought it, finally turned it off and on, and it said I had a corrupted file. got the laptop out, checked to see what to do, it said run Chkdsk, so I set that to run, shut it down, turned it on, and it eventually worked. Cost me an hour of angst.
* Wrote the other 8 posts for the cruise days. Went in at 4 p.m. to watch the end of the Broncos game and then the Saints game. Not over until after 5:30, so we went to Lolita's for dinner, and ColdStone for ice cream, and home by 7 p.m.
* Read, wrote 4 Amanuensis posts, then worked in the database adding content and sources. Checked Facebook, started a new Best Of post, and wrote this post.

My Genealogy Saturday - 14 September 2013
Only 8 days until the cruise - now I need to get serious about blogging it.
* Read email and blogs, wrote Surname Saturday - GIFFORD (England > colonial Massachusetts) and one for next week too.
* Researched and wrote Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Do Some Semi-Random Research and set it for early afternoon.
* Wrote 7 blog posts highlighting cruise days and still have 9 more to write. Have a system now!
* Wrote September 11th CVGS Research Group Summary on the CVGS blog.
* Worked on some email correspondence answers in DNA Tribes.
* Went in at 4 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, almost took a nap, ate dinner, watered the back yard, watered the front plants, and read my book. The Pads lost 2-1 to the Braves.
* Online at 7:15 p.m. to answer email, but the computer froze. Couldn't get it out of "Logging Off" when I tried to Restart. Fired up the laptop, Googled the solution, and tried several. The one that worked was holding the power button down for over 10 seconds. That permitted a restart. Frustrating - lost 30 minutes doing this!
* Answered email then did more DNA Tribes work and responded to my correspondent, checked Facebook, added to the Best Of post and did some online research adding content and sources.

My Genealogy Friday - 13 September 2013
Friday the 13th turned out to be an interesting and fun day, not badlucky at all.
* Read email and blogs, noted that Follow-Up Friday - Helpful and Interesting Reader Comments posted.
* Gathered the laptop and stuff up and off to the school by 9:30 a.m. for the second episode...the students started outlining their trees and making their canvas poster boards. Many of them are well along with their trees, and several had done an exceptional job. Helped answer questions about how to show relationships. Went to lunch at In 'n' Out, and back, but the students were working hard on their canvas and didn't need me.
* Home by 1 p.m. to read, noted that First Look at Family Tree Maker 2014 - Post 3: Put Children and Spouses in Date Order posted. Wrote First Look at my AncestryDNA Ethnicity Update - Post 2: More DNA Results.
* Gathered the papers for the bank account change and contacted Linda's health care provider to see I could pay the premium. That worked...only 8 more to go! We can do almost all of them by mail, I think, except my Social Security payment. All of this took over an hour to work through just for one change.
* Went in at 4:30 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, and eat dinner. Padres came from 3-0 against Braves to win 4-3. Now 67-79 on the season.
* Online at 7:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, check Facebook, and then worked in the database adding content and sources.

My Genealogy Thursday - 12 September 2013
This was almost an all-genealogy day, save for the Padres game. Some surprises today! Surprises almost always lead to blog fodder, so I like them.
* Read email and blogs, and wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - Post 181: 1930 U.S. Census for Henry Carringer Household in San Diego, California.
* Research and wrote First Look at Family Tree Maker 2014 - Mea Culpa! Looking Again at the Person Migration Map in the Places Workspace.
* worked on the party address list. Wrote five blog posts scheduled for during the vacation.
* Checked the AncestryDNA site an hour before the presentation, noted that I was one of the chosen few, and wrote First Look at my AncestryDNA Ethnicity Update and set it for later.
* Connected using GoToMeeting for the AncestryDNA presentation but had to call in to hear the presentation and discussion. Used my cell phone and earplugs to avoid a long distance bill. Interesting discussion, learned a lot new, and wish I could repeat what I heard but I can't - I don't learn that way. I'll leave it to others to highlight the discussion. I did get to ask my question about the time frame, and the answer was "nobody knows for sure!"
* Went in at 4 p.m. to watch the Padres game (had a rain delay), read the paper, and we ate dinner too. Put the new phone system together and scrapped the old one. Padres lost I think, I left in the 7th inning with them behind 9-5.
* Came in at 7:15 p.m. and worked on the party address labels and gave them to Linda.
* Wrote two posts for Friday since I'm off to school again for half the day. Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook and wrote this post.
