NIdaho Blogs: Herb Misses Blogfest

Well I scored a first Saturday. Unfortunately not the right kind of first. I missed my first blog fest since they started. I can’t remember what year that was, but I organized it and we had about nine or so attendees here in Bayview. We held it at the Captain’s Wheel Restaurant. Since then the idea has exploded, the Spokesman-Review has taken over sponsorship and I understand there were over 70 people present at the Fort Ground this year. I wasn’t one of them. The night before, I had a minor health issue that kept me awake for hours. Finally around 7:00am I got to sleep. I awoke around non and wasn’t in any shape to go anywhere. I’m fine now but deeply regret the opportunity to see many of my friends again and to meet new ones as well/ Herb Huseland , Bay Views. More here.
