The other day I clicked on the incoming Google Alert and saw this:
Twin Sisters Share 90 Years of Life, Memories
You guessed it. One of the sisters is named Grace Peterson which is why I got the alert. I clicked on the link and discovered that this Grace has been a lifelong resident of Chicago. She worked as a "Punch Press Operator" before getting married on July 3, 1948. She's lived in her current residence since 1955. Today she is an active square dancer and plans to live past 100. I have no doubt she will. I hope I can follow in her footsteps. What an inspiring lady.
A few years ago a work project had me scouring through LinkedIn's contacts. Did you know that if you search a common name like, say James Smith, you'll get 14,164 hits? Holy cow! Likely your name isn't quite that common but you get the idea. When you've got nothing better to do, (or maybe before that) Google your name and learn something. It's kind of fun.
