Me: Do you remember how much money I contributed to the Ontario NDP in 1999?
Chris: No, why?
Me: According to this website, it's $120.
Chris: What? How can that be on the web? It's tax information.
Me: I dunno, I just googled myself and that's what I found. I also found out that apparently I'm also a photographer in Argentina. See? I'm a busy girl.
Chris: Huh. ::clicks on one of the other links:: You're also working at Queen's, still.
Me: Yup.
Chris: Who's your two-year old son?
Me: That was probably Daniel.
Chris: Oh, I thought maybe that was your other son. With your other husband, from your other life.
Me: My Argentinian son, you mean.
Chris: Yeah.


Legolas: This forest is old. Very old. Full of memory... and anger.
Daniel: Like our cat.

My goole search:

The circumstances of the discovery are not given but we do know that a ‘John Brown’ was recognised as a woman in York in 1760, when trying to enlist as a soldier with the infantry. The York Courant recorded the discovery in a short piece repeated in a slightly abbreviated version in the London Gazette. John Brown was in fact Barbara Hill, who had been born in York. Whilst enlisting she was recognised by someone who had known her as a child and at once discharged. The papers also reported the arrival in York of her ‘supposed wife’, who came begging that they should not be separated. Barbara gave an account of her life since leaving York fifteen years earlier. She had run away from the city as a young servant, leaving her female clothes behind her. She claimed to have travelled south and been apprenticed to a stonecutter for five years, then to have worked as a farmer and then in London as a coach-driver before returning to Yorkshire, first to Pontefract and then to Bolton Percy. Checking this part of Barbara’s story in the sources is difficult – but a case involving a disappeared or run away servant may have appeared in local papers or even in the records of the local secular courts at York: these records are held at the York City Archive.

I told you I was old. ;)

I've never googled myself before. Apparently, I'm a criminologist, law prof, flautist and beautician. I hope I make a lot of money!
