Doug Drones On: A Chritmas story

December 25, 2005 By pia

Most people who read Courting know Doug.

I have known him since early this past year. A long time in the blogosphere world; and never knew this story.

His more popular blog is Waking Ambrose; it is a re-telling of Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary for our times.

Doug Drones On is his weekend blog. You can either listen to or read Doug’s own stories about his life. Unlike me he neither whines or talks about his great qualities.

Doug inspires great loyalty from the growing number of people who read his blogs. He claims that I have mentored him, yet he has taught me how blogging can truly become a community of people with disparate interests, but all love words.

Do admit to a slight jealousy over how well he moderates his comments. I don’t moderate mine because I fear if I do nobody would ever read Courting again.

Actually I fear that all the time. I love blogging and meeting people like Doug is a big part of the reason why. Doug truly is very modest and he will probably hate me for doing this. But, uh, the devil made me do this?

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
