Back in October of 2007 an acquaintance of mine sent me a link about a fellow and his dog that vacationed in the Terlingua area. I was busy preparing for my annual trip to the chili cook-off so I did not read it until my return. His blog is called "The Oasis of my Soul" and it is a very personal and at times painful journey of a man trying to recoup after the untimely death of his only child and son. His sidekick and faithful companion is his dog Spirit. That was the first blog I ever read.
In December 8, 2008 he did an outstanding article entitled "Visiting A Soulful Neighbor" which was about the now well known John Wells http://theoasisofmysoul.com /?p=5268 that was the second blog I read and where I "met" the majority of the bloggers that I now follow or whose nicks are known to me because I read their comments.
What was the first blog you ever read?
Good night. Terlingua dreams.

ReplyDeleteThat's understandable. If you ask me how many I read now, I would not be able to quantify them.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note I have read a lot of the articles both in well known magazines and national newspapers that have been written about the Field Lab but I think Ara's article is the best one to date.
ReplyDeleteWell I am late finding out about your blog, but I did make it over here finally. It looks like it will be a great blog. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by Barney :-)
ReplyDeleteI too am late in finding your blog. I always see your comments on other blogs.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the first blog I read either. I have been an online geek for years and years, so who knows? But in the last several months I've started "following" people that I have common interests with...ie...Terlingua, poker, natural building, etc....
I will follow you....
Terry
Thank you for following my blog Terry. I too have seen your comments on other blogs that we have in common.
ReplyDeleteThe first blog I ever read and followed was John Wells blog. I was doing my usual self assigned homework regarding cabin construction and DIY projects for my dream cabin that I want to someday place on my property off the Terlingua Main Ranch Rd...and now yours.

I hope you will soon be able to build your dream cabin.
