Oh my…today, I visited my parents and my mom said to me, “Alice, I went on the Internet and searched for your name, so I could finally understand what you do online. I was surprised to see so many pages about you.”

Well, first off — I was surprised that my mom knew how to search the Internet (sorry mom!). She worked for the Canadian government for a long time and until a few years back they had them working on these really old mainframe computers and she didn’t get a PC until recently. I knew she took a course on using Microsoft Outlook and she took very detailed notes, but I didn’t know she knew how to use the Internet. LOL (Mom, that stands for “laugh out loud”, in case you don’t know).

I’ve always known people search for my name on the Internet, but I always thought it was people who only knew me “virtually” and I felt reasonably comfortable with that. It feels kind of strange to know your friends and relatives are searching for you on the ‘net…but it shouldn’t be surprising.

And this is my mom…for goodness sakes. I hope I’ve behaved properly and she didn’t uncover anything naughty I may have done. She didn’t say so.

So, mom welcome to my virtual world and I hope I’ve done you proud.
