as it were: a weblog of r.b.m.

"as it were: as if it were so, if one might so put it, in some sort: a parenthetic phrase used to indicate that a word or statement is perhaps not formally exact though practically right" (Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd ed.)

About Me

My Photo
Name: R.B. Moreno
Location: Fort Collins, Colorado

Offbeat writer and writing instructor. I carry a Moleskin to record what might become meaningful: exclamations and subtexts, bits of character, impromptu interviews. What's in it for you? Careful reporting, decent photography, and the occasional gem of an essay. Now for some verse by Reed Whittemore that merits meditation: "The mind wears many hats, many different wares. / Like a bird on a spit it turns in its living sleep. / It is quick, slow, open, secret, crammed with jokes, prayers. / It knows not what it knows deep."
