There is nothing like unsolicited praise so it was quite nice to see a blog post title “Y’know I just love the Curt Jester” from Mark Shea. Thanks Mark, the feeling is mutual.
Considering that Mark’s blog was the first blog I started reading back in early 2002 and that his blogroll pointed me to the core blogs in the infancy of the Catholic blogosphere I especially enjoy the compliment. If there is blame involved, I blame Mark Shea, Amy Welborn, and Victor Lams for wanting to start a blog in the first place. Â Commenting on their fine blogs got me hooked.
Now I need to go and place my swelled head in under cold water though to get it back to semi-normal size.

I remember those early days (I started reading and blogging in the fall of 2003). Tom from Disputations has been around for a while as well, and let’s not forget Gerard Bugge (pen name Gerard Seraphim), may he rest in peace, who made the effort to introduce newbies to the rest of the blogosphere. And I miss Secret Agent Man, who actually came up and visited here in Montreal. Still waiting for you to show up, Jeff… 🙂
