What's BetwixtInBetween?

Surprisingly enough, I'm interested in many things, but nothing's MORE interesting than things that are betwixt and between. Or, betwixt and in between.

When I was a kid, I remember I couldn't even figure out what the word between was? I have regularly stared at it on the page in print and thought "what"? Bet-ween? What? Odd, that.

But, I am interested in things that are in between other things people focus on. For example:
  • not the start, not the end, but the journey
  • not the current state, not the future goal, but the migration plan to get there
  • not the desktop PC, not the server, but the network connecting them (yes, I work in IT)
  • not the buyer or the seller, but the intermediaries that enable their commerce
Does this make any sense?

I hope to post examples of these betwixt and between cases that intrigue me. Maybe they will you two. Plus, I think I'll have to talk about music some too.
