The Thrill Is Gone: Opening Day With Will Clark

As much as I don’t belong here, I do.  Back where I grew up, during a light summer rain, frogs used to get run over by cars in the street in front of my house. Sometimes I’d trot out to the asphalt to look at the smear left behind. Each frog, like a spoonful of...

From singers in cars to rovers from Mars (or was it Venus), Missed Connections this week is out of this world! We're getting Missed Connections from the jury box, the spaceport, and the DMV these days, which makes me wonder whether a solid year of pandemic-related quarantine has made us all retreat into pure fantasy.

Best Of VA Missed Connections February 3 – February 9
