switching up

This wasn't a quick decision--it's one I'd been mulling for months.  I started this Vox blog in November '06.  It was never meant to be my full-time blog.  I started it as a side blog just because I thought it was kind of a cool interface.  When I began to feel suffocated at my TypePad blog, Vox was an easy escape.

Vox, you've been good to me, but I miss the flexibility I had at TypePad.  I miss being able to have the kinds of sidebars I want.  I need to move on for other reasons, as well.  I toyed with going with Wordpress, but it just didn't feel right (at least not right now). 

On Saturday I cleaned up and organized a bunch of paperwork at home.  I completely de-cluttered the top of our desk...and I can't tell you what a difference it made in how I felt sitting down at the computer.  That process, combined with reconnecting with a dear blog friend yesterday--and where one of her posts led me--made the time feel right to make the change.

So, without further ado, here's tongue and groove.  And if you're wondering about the name, it's what I wanted Jeffrey to call his jazz trio when we lived in Portland, but he went for a self-titled group...so I'm claiming it.  Tongue and groove is a method of fitting similar objects together.  That's what I'll try to do there.  You'll find links in the sidebar to , Moojo Cafe, Twitter, MySpace, Flickr, Bloggers for Darfur...and, oh yeah, I started a tumble log awhile back. ;)

Those of you who choose to follow me to the new site, thanks for hanging with me.  xoxo
