Well, Google had just become widely known as I was finishing therapy, so no, I didn't search out info while in therapy. Of course, there were more old-fashioned ways of checking, but I didn't do those either. I just didn't feel any need. He answered any question I had, and I just didn't care beyond that.

But I did Google him a couple of years ago before I got back in touch with him. It had been about a decade, and he is elderly. I felt I had to search for a death record because I didn't want to call and upset anyone if he had passed. Trust me, it's not a Google search you ever want to do. But in the course of that search I came upon a record about his mortgage which listed the value of his house, etc. It wasn't until I'd looked more carefully that I realized what it was. I guess it was there because it's a public record. I would have preferred not to see it, though it's not a big deal. But I won't tell him because I have no desire to remind him of his mortality.
