Googling Around

Recently in a fit of boredom I decided to Google myself. I found that there are several somewhat famous (within their own circle) people out there with my name. However, I claim ownership of my name because all those sudo famous people seem to be younger than I am. After searching through several pages of Google listings including websites about musicians, doctors and film makers I gave up. I then attached "teacher" to my name and there I was #1 in the Google hall of fame. I can now be relatively sure that I am the most famous teacher with my name. Go me!
After I enjoyed seeing my name in the world of Google I started to search for other friends. It is weird to find someone I know out there in 0 and 1 land (I am not computer genius but I have been told that all computer program is built on ones and zeros. If you have questions about this ask someone besides me.). I soon ran out of names, don't make fun of me for having few friends to Google, so I started to search for names from my past. Of course Winnie's* came up. She is quite famous mostly because of an odd field of work, her athletic skill and her very odd maiden name (which could never be used if she was a teacher). Without looking for it, her phone number popped up. What is strange is that it is under her maiden name. Seeing her maiden named phone listing made me curious so I Googled her husband. He popped up a state away. So thoughts of divorce came into mind. There is a logical explanation for this, she is finishing school soon and he has graduated. He could have moved for the job, it is just a state away. Her maiden name listing could have been left over from her single days. Also my gut tells me that it is unlikely she would get a divorce, especially after such a short period. I could however be wrong.
So perplexing thoughts have traveled through my mind of how to figure out if she is divorced. (1) I could email her and ask "how it is hanging", not necessarily using those terms. This is strange idea to me. I wouldn't want an X of my spouse (if I had one) emailing her at all. I felt strange Googling her, emailing her to find out her marital status is even more weird. Although she did basicaly say she wanted to stay friends when she announced her engagement to me. I was the one who said goodbye. (2) I could call her at her maiden name phone listing. OK that isn't going to happen. (3) I could be patient and see if she moves to the next door state or not. (4) I could see if I could find a divorce record in her state. (5) Or I could do nothing and let things go. If she is divorced I would at least like to have a nice conversation with her.
So which is it Blogosphere? The Blogosphere being the .412 people who read this every month. The best response gets a quarter*.
* The quarter being an imaginary one that you can only spend on imaginary stuff at my niece's imaginary grocery story. The good news is, you would be surprised how much stuff she will sell you for an imaginary quarter.
Googling with WONDER...
