I know that Bernadette is not a very common name, but I find it very hard to believe how high my sites rank for searches on it.<br /><br />I take it as a sign of kismet that the #1 listing is the Four Tops song, Bernadette, which my father used to sing to me all the time. That the #2 listing is for Saint Bernadette, whom I was named for. And that the #3 listing is for <a href="http://www.bernadetteyao.com/index.asp?ID=29">Bernadette Yao</a>, the famed Bernadette who opened each episode of ZOOM doing the crazy arm thing.<br /><br />As I mentioned, Bernadette is not a common name. I have lived a life bereft of name keychains or coffee mugs or other such trinkets from tourist gift shops. So for me, as a child, it was a matter of great importance that there was actually a girl named Bernadette on ZOOM, which was my FAVORITE television program.<br /><br />I even remember how to do the arm thing... just ask me the next time you see me.Bernadette Geyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06526888507258833880noreply@blogger.com
