Google's Missing Tool

susandennisI keep my eye on Google Labs to see what new goodies they are cooking up, but I'm pretty sure I will never see the one tool I need. The one tool that will make all of their others shine. I am pretty sure I'll never see the Personal Data Miner.
I'm thinking it would be a web page like the Google home page but with a different banner, of course...
With the SusanDennis Personal Data Miner, I could plug in 2nd Grade and it would pop up my elementary school, and my teacher's name and then I could pop over to Google Earth and maybe even see the Ginko Tree that my Mom and I planted with the rest of the class outside the classroom window. For extra credit, it might even turn up a little parapgrah about why we planted that tree because I sure can't remember.
I could plug in 1957-1963 and it would come back with addresses of homes and schools and teachers' names and best friends and, heck, maybe even the memory lines that the mean ugly bitch with the gray bun made us learn in English. Can't remember her name, or the lines (and my life has lots of fucking meaning as it turns out - so there, bitch).
I remember the name of my first boyfriend - Eddie Marsh. But that's all I remember. What happened to him? Where exactly is he incarcerted now? If he actually did get his law degree like he said he wanted to, maybe it's some nice federal pen with a golf course. The SusanDennis Peronal Data Miner would tell me.
Is that Carmelite convent I lived next to in Wheeling, WVA in the early 70s still there? I have no idea where in Wheeling it was, so I need some help.
And what ever happened to that wonderful Summer/weekend house we had in Blowing Rock, NC? (I might be able to find it when Google Earth gets around to photographing Blowing Rock... I did actually find the house I lived in when I was married - in Charlotte - I couldn't remember the address but I did remember my husband's name so I got the address and found it in Google Earth - they were off 4 houses but I managed to find it because I could see the swimming pool in the back.)
But, alas, I'm afraid that like the SusanDennis Action Figure, the SusanDennis Personal Data Miner is going to be in permanant incubation. More's the pity. Because, really, don't you want to know what charges they finally napped Eddie Marsh on????
