Fog at the start of our morning trip. Started off early in the morning and drove home to Ottawa via the 401. The traffic in Toronto was heavy but not bad.

Excellent dinner. The speaker was great: Marc Jodoin, author of The Shadow Soldiers. Walked 5.3 km.

Fog this morning. Sunny later on. We headed off to the BIFHSGO Conference (genealogy) at the Library and Archives Canada building about 7:50 a.m. Had a slight delay getting there because some of the Ottawa streets were blocked for the Terry Fox run etc. I had volunteered to work on the Ottawa Branch OGS marketplace table for the morning. My wife was giving a presentation on DNA Case Studies at the conference. We had lunch together and then headed
