Missed Connections

This is #162 on the I Love Memphis blog list of 365 things to do in Memphis, but I'm not sure why. I checked the missed connections on Craigslist just like the list suggested, and now I guess I know where to go if I'm ... what? wanting proof that lotsa people are way worse off than me and that being lonely is a common suffering? Or maybe that long shots sometimes work out or who would ever post or read anything there? There's certainly proof here that we are better off missing some of the possible connections in this life.

I'll confess, though, that I'm tempted to make up some totally random encounter and post it:
