This is what I was going to call my new blog. It means “in the midst of things,” which is super-fancy literary term for a story that begins in its middle, a sure sign that it is going to move all around, so just be prepared for that, as best you can be.

In medias res is a nice way of describing mid-life too. Very elegant sounding, perhaps more so than midlife actually looks and feels: sagging spirits with facial skin to match.

Much nicer is this cookie, which also has a middle in which you can start.

This is a lot of copy about a blog title that is, of course, already taken. Thanks a lot, Russell Arben Fox.

On second thought, I’m grabbing it anyway.

On third thought, I’m changing it to The Midway. Who doesn’t love a midway?
