My buddy Tyler (@tylerehc on Twitter) and I had initially planned to do a full-spectrum year-in-review episode, covering the bad, the worse, and the ugly in full detail, one big cathartic kvetch. But then things popped off in DC and we started to get all metacontrarian. Tyler suggested that instead of spending two hours wallowing in misery we change direction and talk only about the good stuff and the silver linings. Scraping for whitepills, in other words.
