Over on the Beefed Up Blogroll

I've beefed up the blogroll here-- that's the column over to the right which lists other relevant / area blogs for Marfa and the Big Bend. Check it out-- there are some very fun and fascinating people blogging in the Big Bend. A few of special note:

Marie Bazek whose blog includes an post titled "Marfa Metamarfisis."
Christmas Mountains Oasis, a blog about Big Bend bird habitat
Glen Aaron, the Observer
Lonn Taylor, The Rambling Boy
John Wells, The Field Lab

Plus-- the discussion forum I'm calling a blog because I can:
Big Bend Chat

Meanwhile, I'm editing the next podcast, #11 in the 24 podcast series, "Cowboy Is a Verb," an interview with Michael Stevens. Lots of strummin' and singin'. Stay tuned.

Marfa, Marfa & More Marfa

Oh, this country has such beyond splendid skies! Apropos of my book-in-progress, World Waiting for a Dream: A Turn in Far West Texas, I recently returned from my latest journey through Marfa, Van Horn, Presidio, Terlingua, and the Big Bend National Park, and will be posting scads more "Marfa Mondays" podcasts...

Pending: an interview with Enrique Madrid of Redford; interview with Dallas Baxter, ex-editor of Cenizo Journal; a journey up Pinto Canyon Rd and another up Casa Piedra Rd (a branch of the old Comanche war path); a visit to Cíbolo Creek Ranch, a trek over Burro Mesa (ayyy, 3 hours each way, no shade) to Apache Canyon and a very remote arrowhead quarry; and a bit about the strange battle of Zapato Tuerto (Spanish vs Apaches); and (yep), "Cowboy Is a Verb."

Oh, and more about the glorious Chisos and Spanish painter Xavier González.
