2008. Blogging is just becoming something that one does for self-expression. We’re all still on My Space (or I was – I was so uncool) and my friend Elaine is writing blogs about her travels to Korea and the Philippines so that her kids and friends know what she’s up to. “Write a blog!” she tells me, and I say “What in the world shall I write about?”

“Write about something you love,” Elaine said.

So I thought for about ten minutes about what I loved most, besides my family. And I Love New Mexico was born.
