Kathryn, I attended one of your lectures, 10 reasons your ancestor was in Canada. I enjoyed it and never would have thought you had all those challenges!

I live in Canada. I woke up presentation day with a headache. As I prepared in my hotel room to go through my presentations, I discovered I had forgotten the projector connector cord for my Mac. The cord was still on my desk at home. Slight panic attack. Fortunately, there was a computer place close to hotel that had the cord I needed. Meanwhile, my headache was progressing to the point where the light was starting to hurt my eyes. I returned to the hotel only to realize I had the wrong computer cord. I made a second trip to the computer store with my computer in hand, and purchased the correct connector cord. Whew! By this time, my headache was so bad, I thought I was going to be sick. I stopped at local Walmart to get headache medicine on the way back to the hotel. Back in my hotel room, I took the medicine with the hope that it would work. All I wanted to do was sleep, but there was no time for that. Two hours to go until presentation time. Just as I successfully got the computer and projector set up, the lamp on my projector burned out! At that point, I was starting to think that I wouldn't be presenting at all. Anyway, the conference organizers had extra projectors, and by the time my presentation began, my headache calmed down enough I could present without being nauseous. Even when we think we are prepared, there are times when things like this happen. Kathryn Lake Hogan UE, PLCGS _http://about.me/looking4ancestors_ (http://about.me/looking4ancestors)
