  1. The Accidental Phone Call

    LovePhone by kmls

    She misdialed a number, she said,
    but not really.

    So we reminisced about old times,
    the good work we did together,
    where our coworkers are,
    what our children are doing.

    Organizations end,
    but relationships don’t have to.
    I can do better at staying connected.

    I can be more intentional,
    while at the same time
    knowing that
    on this journey
    there are no
    accidental phone calls.

  2. When I was a teen in the late 80s in New Brunswick, I was friends with a Jehovah’s Witness girl named Julie Nahornov. She had a sister named Mona. She introduced me to all sorts of fun music and made me my first mix tape. She moved away to Alberta, I think, where her dad Nick had a horse ranch. They harvested horse piss for birth control pills or perm solution, I think. I’ve been trying for years to locate her, but no luck. I hope she’s doing well. #MissedConnection #OldFriend #Memories

  3. #MissedConnection

    Argonne National Lab open house. You were the burlysoft, authoritarian scoutmaster dad with a high n tight and VERY tight pants serving Midcentury Norman Rockwell Americana Realness. I was the boy trying very hard not to acknowledge a lowkey uniform fetish acquired twenty seconds prior. Email me: I need help with a demerit badge.

  4. @publius @psztrnk when I travel in the USA, I take #amtrak. over 20yrs, avg 2-4 times per year. #missedConnection only about 4-5 times and each time they had a plan to get me to my destination when I arrived at the station. Only once were we so late that a hotel room was included.
    sometimes they try too hard and i would have preferred a hotel room.
    In all cases it was the freight corps slowing us down and causing amtrak to spend more money,
