@davidmcgeoch9 Good morning, handsome!

[Genealogy Professor @GenProf]

@cbouzy Those who think hell hath no fury like a woman scorned should meet a slightly inconvenienced homosexual man. Neither of those can hold a candle to that!

[Genealogy Professor @GenProf]

@BostonHistory Looking at it again, with the colon it is better to use the semicolons.

[Genealogy Professor @GenProf]

@BostonHistory You can use periods at the end of each or put semicolons after the first few with a period after the last one. Periods after each is slightly better but either is acceptable.

One of the mandatory stops ⁦@AudreyCollins23⁩ would make when she visited me in Boston. I stopped by today for a bit and let many wonderful memories sweep in.

[Genealogy Professor @GenProf]

@cbouzy Will continue to promote Spoutible to the entire genealogical community as a replacement for Twitter. Look forward to being able to put out more details.

[Genealogy Professor @GenProf]

@cbouzy So seriously bummed. I remember doing my preregistration, but I guess it never went through. Now I have to wait another week. I should have made certain.

[Genealogy Professor @GenProf]

@BostonHistory @Boston1775 Either is grammatically correct. But as an editor, I would also cut the word count for clarity and say “Jane Doe’s original grave marker.”

[Genealogy Professor @GenProf]

@BostonHistory Not sure you’ll find one definitive, but the Mapping Boston book is very good.

So pleased to be selected as the new managing editor for the Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly.

Regarding the highly classified President's Daily Brief, circulated to a tiny circle of top US officials, Biden says he "read it every single day as Vice President." Biden also says it's a "dereliction of duty" for Trump to ignore these intelligence briefings.

Got a shoutout from @MakingGayHistry for some work I did for the podcast on Wendell Sayer (https://t.co/IfAmuTJy4L). What a great surprise for the day!

I'm a writer/editor. You should see what happens when I tell them that two spaces after a period went away in the 80s. And that an apostrophe is only used to make possessives, not plurals! 😆

[Genealogy Professor @GenProf]

@CleverTitleTK Great interview with Drew @genealogyguys on the Genealogy Connection podcast. Couldn't agree more with the discussion that no name was ever changed at Ellis Island brings up. Happens to me all the time, too!

UMass student Peter Perry takes photos around Boston covering up part of the image with a historical pic of that place. What a great idea!
