That is a great post! It is interesting how we can feel so connected to others simply because of a name. Here’s what the “Secret Universe of Names” has to say about Catherine’s:
Never ones to beat around the bush, you’ll never have to guess where you stand with a CTH (names based on consonants). The phrase the best man for the job is a woman’ could well have been written with a CTH in mind, so don’t make the unfortunate mistake of telling her that she can’t be the best at something.”
Wow, sounds like a great group. I imagine that googlegang could get a LOT accomplished!

Thanks, this was fun. Here’s a link to a post I did on googlegangers after I was contacted by a Cathie Sherman in Australia who was assembling a group of Cathy Shermans on facebook. It’s fun to see what other Cathy Shermans are doing. One of them climbed Ayers Rock in Australia. I told her that now I could say that Cathy Sherman had climbed Ayers Rock, although I’d be sounding like Bob Dole, talking about myself in the third person. I feel a kinship to these Cathy Shermans although I’m not related to them. One contacted me about my website catherinesherman.com, which I don’t really use too much, because she had wanted it. I felt slightly guilty for hanging on to it….

What do you think they are doing on these “outings?” And, I wonder how many times they say, “We’re just a bunch of Jim Smith’s” to unsuspecting folks. How funny!
