ONE YEAR IN THE 'SPHERE: Today marks the one-year anniversary of the creation of this blog. Hard to believe it's been a year- as an out-of-work writer last spring I decided blogging might be a nifty idea to get myself writing every day, and in my first post I mentioned that that I had been inspired by sources as diverse as Andrew Sullivan, The Boston Sports Guy Bill Simmons, and The New York Press Daily Billboard. I never could've guessed that in the intervening year I would get to meet Andrew Sullivan, that Sports Guy would leave Boston for LA, or that I would end up actually writing for said Daily Billboard.
I am now very grateful to actually be gainfully employed as a working journalist, as well as to be read by a couple hundred people a day here. I want to thank each and every one of you who has read, commented, e-mailed, linked, blogrolled, mis-Googled, or otherwise come into contact with this blog in the past year; your support is very much appreciated. Thus begins Year #2...
(Isaac over at WKIKYA is also celebrating his blogoversary this week, congrats to him as well. If I remember the sequence of events correctly, I told him what blogs were and that I was about to start one, but he managed to get his online a few days before mine.)
