This blog started out as a diary, of sorts. I had never even read a blog
before I started one, and when I discovered them about two years after
starting my own, I was floored.
I was a junior in college, heading off to Washington, D.C. for an internship at The Washington Times. My friends Rachel and Andrew were my only known regular readers, though many others popped up in comments. I continued writing it for them, my far-away friends, and, the more I wrote, the more I liked it. The name of my blog comes from A.A. Milne's The House at Pooh Corner and E.M. Forster's A Room with a View.
I've struggled with liking the name - is it catchy enough? Is it too long? But it fits me; it fits my little corner of the internet. And it was on a long walk with Grace around our neighborhood that inspired me to start a link-up of views - the visual, visceral kind.
