Only one missed connection?

Write about a missed connection?

I immediately thought of missing the bus in Sarajevo by 5 minutes this past September or missing my flight back from Costa Rica 40 years ago. You'd think that I would've learned.

If we were talking about missed opportunities it would be more interesting.

I was frantic, but in both situations nothing happened. I got back to Kansas a day late from Costa Rica. In Sarajevo I got to Beograd about 3 hours late.

Now waiting for a ride to a small rural town in Kansas years ago took 7 hours... but I got there and being stranded in Chicago once (my mother sent money). And missing the bus in Trá Lí to Listowel meant I stuck out my thumb (like the purple haired maiden suggested) and got a ride there and back.

Not all missed connections are disastrous.

Slowly... memories are surfacing.

May be why I'm so anal about not missing plane/train/bus connections to this day.

That said, I'm reading a good book, Don't Cry, Tai Lake and want to get back to it.

Until I reconnect...
