I blame Bill Murray, who is up to similar tricks in the new Jim Jarmusch movie 'Broken Flowers', and a recent viewing of the John Cusack movie 'High Fidelity'. As you'll remember, Cusack in 'High Fidelity' decides to track down past girlfriends who have dumped him to find out why. Apparently this is typical male behaviour, before realising that his future in fact lies with his Danish model girlfriend -- go figure.
I swear I would never have thought about doing this in the past. It must be an advancing age thing. I know I'm not the only one, Adam was talking about something similar in the past and Susan has been at it too.
"I've found that you can search Friends Reunited for just about anyone. I've tracked down loads of people," Adam told me.
"That's scary, I would never do that, I can see where it's heading. One moment you are searching on your computer and the next you are on the phone."
"That isn't me," Adam reassured me. "I have no plans to call anyone."
"You say, it's a slippery slope."
"I'm not sliding anywhere."
"It's too late for that. You're like a guy with your finger on the nuclear trigger, you've got to push the button because your finger's getting all sweaty and button pushy. Anyway, don't you want to see what happens? Go on push it, I dare you."
