Lately, I have been writing lengthy posts and abandoning them when they sprawl out of control and I run out of time. There are good thoughts in them, though, and I hate to waste them.

To avoid losing them I am going to steal a move from Borges (who wrote fictional critical reviews of imaginary novels he lacked the patience to write) and start publishing summaries of shelved posts.

I will now write the first post in the Shelved series.
