I would like to welcome an old friend to the world of blogging and to the Brendoman.com family. Doug's blog is at darkriver.brendoman.com. He also has a site on uky.edu, where he is a graduate student. My favorite memory with Doug is sitting in line for tickets to Fellowship of the Ring in Kirksville. The first showing didn't even sell out, so there wasn't much use in waiting outside the theater all day, but it sure was fun. Be sure to check out his new blog and leave a comment.
