"So," he wrote to her in his first 'on line find your soulmate forever and ever' correspondence, "you stated you like to travel. What's been your favorite place, thus far"?

"Oh, that's easy," she responded, "without a doubt, following the Spice trail."

Never heard back from him.

Did he picture her wandering aimlessly around her local supermarket aisle, seeking the latest in McCormick's chicken rub? 

"I wonder" she asked me "what was the answer he was looking for? "Mud wrestling in Idaho? "Monster Truck drag racing down South?" "Spelunking in Hal caverns?"  "What can I do?" she implored.

Clearly nothing. 

"I suppose" I offered up to her, "you could request from this on line hopeful that he supply you with some acceptable answers. Perhaps he could put it into a true false format? Fill-ins, might work."

"Great idea" she responded, naively. And, so she did. Critically rereading his profile for context clues, she carefully devised an answer with all the options that might appeal to him. Sent it off, eager and hopeful.

Right.

Undaunted, she moved forward.
