Internet Search

If you happen to have the time (as I apparently do), try searching the internet for Michael Trum.

Use whichever search engine you want (yahoo, google, bing, ask, dogpile, altavista, lycos, webcrawler, metacrawler, etc.).

Decline the offer to correct your search for Michael Trump. That is not him (see above) and continue.

Click on images and/or pictures.

The results are interesting to say the least. I have included a few below. Others I could not see as the computer I was using determined them to be inappropriate and would not allow them to be visualized.

Good luck to you and yours.

Where were you on 4/24/70?

I was 11 months old. I was probably at home, reading the encyclopedia or potty training myself according to my mother. However, I don't really know.

I do know where Bruce Springsteen was. He was in a band called Steel Mill playing in NJ. Sad but true.

Top 10 Reasons I Wish Michael Was HERE!

As some of you know and most of you don't care, I am spending the week in Nashville at the AF Environmental Symposium. It is exactly as exciting as it sounds. I am inside a beigy-yellow room and will be here for 28 hours this week. That is about 27 hours too many. The good news is that I have CANDY! Alas, the bad news also is I have CANDY!

I am on my third day stuck inside the biosphere known as the Gaylord Opryland hotel and I haven't seen the light of day since arriving on Sunday. Several times a day (curiously, mostly in the evening), I have thought to myself, "I sure wish Michael was here!" In honor of Michael's rapidly increasing age, I present to you "The Top 10 Reasons I Wish Michael was in Nashville With ME!"

#10. Findley's Irish Pub - need I say more? I have been so validated by the southern-boy of a bartender who let me know it is okay to order lime juice in my Harp... apparently it is called a Lime & Lager.

#9. Rusty's Sports Bar & Grill - not as fun as Findley's, but they serve cocktails and that is always fun!

#8. FUSE - apparently there is a nightclub here and I would go but a)I don't dance and b) I can't dance... I would love to go to watch Michael dance, though!

#7. THERE IS A BOAT RIDE THROUGH THE LOBBY! - Shall I repeat that???? THERE is a BOAT RIDE through the lobby. And we all know that Michael loves to cruise.

#6. My room has a mini-bar.

#5. Good climbing trees in the atrium. (I will admit- this is filler)

#4. The Grand Old Opry is nearby, and I make my debut there tonight. I am nervous and I know Michael would help to ease the tension.

#3. I have always wanted a brother. Wait a minute... that doesn't sound right. I have always wanted a YOUNGER brother. 1 month and 1 day younger to be exact!

#2. Not enough diversity here. Michael's African-American, you know... Ask Kelly!

#1. I LOVE MICHAEL and he is one of the most fun people I know!
