One year ago today, Drofdarb Sports’ inaugural post went up (a picture of me “slayin fishes”) followed by my first real post two days later. The blog started as a somewhat random idea after chatting with Jeff Brunelle (one of the LaxAllStars founders) upon his return to Boise from New York. I was obviously quite nervous when I first started but time has flown by and I can’t believe it’s already been a year. Thanks to all of you, my readers – hopefully I keep you somewhat informed and even entertained at times.
