You know we've all googled ourselves on occasion curious to find out what others might read if they took a look. Mine is pretty predictable and some of the post are actually about me. I got bored with those and tried goggling alternate names. I thought, what if I had never married, so I googled my maiden name. Damn I wish I hadn't done that. I came up with a woman who was incarcerated in Mecklenburg County Jail for child abuse. I was horrified because I cannot imagine anyone hurting a child. Then I looked at the news report. I think she might have gotten a bad rap. You see my namesake was born without arms, and she is in jail for shaking her 7 month daughter. She is also pregnant with her second child. There but for fortune go you or I, but especially I.
