I haven't posted here in a long time, but I wanted to share an article about my good friend Doug McDaniel who is actually the one who introduced me to Knox Views, and later Knox Blab. I'm really proud of the guy, he's out here doing the damn thing, as they say!
Here is a link from Inside of Knoxville regarding his new book! I'm going to read it soon.
