A friend of mine from college dropped by my city not too long ago. As chance would have it, a mutual friend gave me the heads up and I was able to contact my college friend and take her out to dinner. On the way to dinner, she turned to me and said something on the order of, “I’m so glad we got to meet up! I was wondering if you still lived here, but I had no way to contact you. I looked you up on the internet and couldn’t find you.”

Which made me wonder, what internet? I’m one of the most googable people I know. If you just google Lacey — nothing else — I am on the second page. If you google my real name, I’m the first hit (followed by two pages of mostly me in various forms), and if you google Lacey Kaye there’s two solid pages of me. So who was she looking for?
