Almost New York.

By this time tomorrow, I'll be a very sleep-deprived boy in NYC. I'd received research copies of the maps I was seeking from Historic Mapworks, but they're not quite all I was hoping, so Tuesday I'm hitting the NYPL while I'm there to get my own copies. While Shannon's at Book Expo America, I should have plenty of time to do that, and skim a couple of obscure books I need to look at.

Left some research materials at dad's, so I haven't ordered the microfilm I need.

Unlikely that I'll get the DCI Daybook data I need before I go there myself. The real question is, will I fly or drive? I need to use that Southwest Airlines leftover refund somehow... Maybe on Florida.

Oh Holy Crap.

I just signed on to ancestry.com for a sec 'cause I hadn't been there in a bit, and a bunch of leads off the one family tree popped up... There may well be more living relatives I can track down and talk to... It'll be a few days while I sift through the info and start making connections, but I'll update when I've completed it.

Slowly.

My Dayton contact has been busy researching his own stuff (can't say I blame him), so I reckon while he might get around to mine, I'll likely first see the data firsthand when I get out there myself.

Wrote a letter to a member of a research family asking for memories, stories, and whatnot, but the lack of a printer is a hindrance. Things are slow now as I've been having the urge to draw more than write.

All for now.
