Upcoming presentations
Ordinarily, about this time of the year, The Legal Genealogist would be joking about how it could possibly be February already and moaning about where the time has gone.
But The Legal Genealogist lives in Virginia.
In the part of Virginia that got a kazillion inches of sleet and freezing rain on top of snow.
Which means The Legal Genealogist hasn’t even been able to step out on the deck to feed the poor birds for forever already yet for fear of sliding off, down the hill and onto the ice of the pond.
In other words, thank heavens it’s February because January had to be 8,462 days long.
With that whine out of the way, it’s time to look at the real calendar and take a look at what’s coming up on the schedule. As always I’d love to have you come along, to the extent possible, on the trip.
