4)  Respond to my Saturday Night Genealogy Fun challenge, posted on  www.geneamusings.com soon after 12  noon Pacific time (that's 1900 GMT for those who understand time zones).  
5) Go to a local genealogical society  program, or go to a library or repository with genealogical  resources.  I'm going with a number of my Chula Vista Genealogical Society colleagues are going on a research trip to the Carlsbad Georgina Cole Library on Saturday, carpooling the 40 miles to Carlsbad.
6) Do you still have  material in your "genealogy piles" that needs to be added to your genealogy  software program? I do, and have some hope to add more data, notes and sources to my genealogy database.
Whatever you decide, please tell us about your genealogy endeavors on a social network or in a blog post.  You never know when your experiences may stimulate or encourage others to do useful genealogy work.
