The Plug is cool (and weird). I was over there cruising around and the second link I happened to click on lead me to what Jay refers to as the Desperate Penpal Experiment. (Volume II, actually, but I have no idea what Volume I is about. I haven’t found it yet.)

Jay got all wild and crazy with a phone book and started writing random people across America to see what would happen. The results, while not extensive, were amusing and worth a look. It’s a fun, fun site.

You know, if there were more people like Jay in the world life would be way more interesting than it is right this moment.

It is kind of weird, isn’t it. But, interesting, too. If I run out of people to write to, maybe I’ll have to take a cue from Jay.

What a marvelous experiment! I haven’t been writing randomly but, partly due to your site, Wendy, I began 2009 with a simple mission: to single-handedly resurrect letter-writing! :-) I write two hand-written letters on beautiful stationery each month to someone I love. I haven’t received anything back yet, but the year is young! I’m hopeful!
