Caroline and I recently went to a Kansas concert where we heard some of our favorite songs including "Dust in the Wind" and "Carry On, My Wayward Son." Amazingly, the band has been performing for 40 years. Not long after that, I heard the song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" from U2 on the radio and thought Caroline would enjoy it.

I remembered to mention it to her a couple days later while we driving somewhere. Not realizing that she had her earbuds in, I shared my observation with her. I heard a confused "What?" from the backseat and repeated my comment. Caroline started laughing and said, "I thought you said that you couldn't find what you were looking for on YouTube!"
