The VBR

TLUE580his week we’ve been excavating the Very Back Room.

It is the kind of task that has a beginning, but once breached, it gushes decisions and piles and pools of anguish of seemingly endless volume.

I wrote some thoughts about that, but I will admit, I’m teasing you here. My hope is that at least a few of you will go over to my fledgling website to view the post called Something Borrowed, Something Blue. 

This co-blogging may be one of those efforts that finds its way into a digital version of the VBR. Or not. I have not quite worked out how Fragments and LU&E will play nicely together.

But the thought is that Fragments will draw from local views, and the other blog, from larger, more complex, less warm and fuzzy topics of conversation.

It would help me quite a bit (even if you don’t read anything over there) if you can comment if anything seems broken. If that is the case, please let me know details about your browser, PC or Mac, and the nature of the weirdness.

If I thought a few of you would bookmark the site, that might make me a bit more accountable to add content. I hope to make that happen at least a few times a week.
