Hey...well... this combined with Gmail's new CAIDE program, announced April 1, that reads and replies to your email, inserting the appropriate level of typos, tone, brevity (or lack there of!) allowing that we never need personally read or reply to email ever again, it would seem all of our Genealogical work will be completed by the weekend. That would mean we could discuss other things at Breakfast rather than elusive dead relatives! lol.. yeah... right.. .like that would EVER happen! It will be a rare occasion, indeed, for me to join in at the breakfasts any longer. I have sold my house in Novato (deal finalized 3/27) and am looking to purchase in Roseville. Have a great time Saturday. I shall miss our lively discussions. Please say hi to our faithful waitresses for me and .... someone order the Star Protein Plate. :) I will be down in the Marin/ Sonoma area at least twice in the next month or so to repeat my lecture on DNA and Genetic Genealogy.
