So sue me; I had a decent year. Not spectacular, of course – many things could have been better. Other people may disagree, and for good reason – but if I may borrow a line from Al Franken and Tom Davis (remember him?), let’s talk about the state of Mitch Berg.

Call it “the year of the hidden blessings”, if you’d like. My kids both had lousy experiences at school – but they led us to better places for both of them. My job for the first nine months of the year went from being a career-building break to “bandmember on the Titanic” when my project wound up on the endangered list; the job to which I jumped went sour (as consulting engagements sometimes do) after six manic weeks; but in the scramble to land on my feet once again, I landed a really good – and full-time permanent! – gig that I think I’m going to like for a long, long time (knock wood). My personal life had its ups and downs – but it as mostly ups, and I learned some important things.

The blog? Well, traffic has held steady (don’t mind my Sitemeter counter – I need to update some things) after the election, which isn’t bad at all. The NARN expanded from one to three shows, and from three to six hours, and continues to beat KTLK-FM in our various time slots like a prison shower-room smackdown; in the all-important Saturday Sweepstakes, we reign supreme against our well-heeled challengers. Note to Doug Westerman, KTLK majordomo; give us a holler when you wanna bring your “A” game to the weekends.

As to the coming year – well, we’ll touch on that tomorrow.
