Human Google Search
(You may recognize this story from July, during my pre-Pass-the-Torch Tuesday days.)
I don’t know where he got his gift, but Craig is a human Google Search.
Maybe it’s because his mind isn’t cluttered with insignificant drivel like what it was Mom asked him to do THREE SECONDS AGO. No matter what I’ve misplaced, I’ve learned to plug it into the seven-year-old search engine and he’ll find it. My keys, my sunglasses, my favorite pen that grows legs and hides on me every-other day.
“I know where it is!” he proclaims, and runs off to retrieve it.
In other aspects of his life, he’s a total scatterbrain, so I’m not really sure why he has such a talent for finding my things. But I know that I do NOT have this gift, so we complement each other well. If only someone could step in to locate the shoes he loses on a daily basis.
Either way, I hope he always keeps his gift and the attitude he has about sharing it.

[...] I’ve told you how Curt is a human Google search. Likewise, Deena’s my compass. Our second day at the HCHY conference two weeks ago, we left the convention center to walk to our $4 per day parking lot. This, of course, would evidence, my cheapness unwillingness to pay for valet parking (all that was available in the adjoining parking ramp) and the gorgeous October weather that blessed us that week.
