My lessons for my classes would not be as well researched and as broad ranging if I did not have the net.

Oh, I'm sure you're finding lots of good stuff. So am I. I've just noticed that I draw blanks more often than I used to. And that I go back and look for answers to questions I've asked before and find them no longer there.

A week or two ago I was looking for a recipe or description of Baltimore-style cheesecake and had no luck. What I got was pages and pages of hits on the Cheesecake Factory Restaurant in the Baltimore Harbor, a chain restaurant, for heaven's sake, that doesn't even serve Baltimore style cheesecake.

A few months ago, I was trying to give someone information on a miracle treatment for warts from which I had benifitted. I couldn't remember the name of the drug so I repeated the search that I had used the first time, without success. Even now, knowing the name of the drug and the location of the studies, I cannot find what led me to a doctor who cured the warts in my cuticles that I had had for decades. The internet is sort of like evolution--you can be sure you're going to get something, you just can't plan on getting the specific something you're looking for.
