SAR DRONED ON

I first came across Waking Ambrose through Blog Explosion. It kept popping up like kernels in a microwave. After awhile, I got so tired of waiting the 30 seconds for the next blog that I decided to actually check it out. I did and found I really liked it. Our friend Doug is arguably one of the smartest people I virtually know, taking a word from Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary and giving it a twist of his own on a daily basis. I've dubbed it my intellectual playground, and Doug's growing number of regular commenters tells me I'm not alone in this assessment. As commenters, we have fun trying our hand at his word of the day and chatting amongst ourselves while Doug, the quintessential host, never neglects to acknowledge our efforts and even delegates a word, allowing one of us to be the special guest star each Wednesday.

Not too long ago, Doug introduced an addendum to Waking Ambrose. An interactive audio blog called Doug Drones On. On Saturday mornings, Doug treats us to stories of his adventurous life through his so-called drone. He encourages interactive participation from his readers, or in this case listeners, as well. So, I mustered up the courage and I gave it a shot (anyone interested can hear my submission to Doug's audio blog here).

Though I know most of you already are familiar with these sites, I encourage the balance of you to treat yourself by visiting my intellectual playgrounds. Dibs on the seesaw!
