I am not one to brag, but in case you missed it, the LA Times talked about our little blog yesterday. It even ran in column one of the tree version! I am calling my publicist.
OK. It wasn’t exactly an article about me. It wasn’t even sort of about me, but instead about the now famous Jim Klinge. At least I was mentioned. You can find the glowing reference somewhere on page two of the online version. Just in case you missed it:
Kris Berg, another San Diego County real estate broker who writes a blog as sweet as Klinge’s is sour, says Klinge “is a nice guy, a great guy.”
Put that in your testimonial book! After a 20 minute phone call with the writer, Peter Hong, in which I was oozing eloquence and poignant take-aways, Mr. Hong was able to glean two news-worthy items: My blog is sweet, and Mr. Klinge is a super-great guy!
Lest you think I am jealous that Mr. Klinge is now being catapulted to fame and fortune while I have an appointment with the termite guy today, I assure you I am not. However, I would like to add that Peter Hong is the best journalist I have ever encountered, not to mention a really, really great guy! Just in case he is reading this (fat chance), I would like to go on record as saying that I am available for future feature stories if the opportunity arises.
And to Jim Klinge, congratulations on the very nice article. I accept cash, checks and gifts with corks in them. Maybe you can drop my name on your book tour — or at least let me wash your car.

I owe you big-time!
Gotta run, I’m meeting the septic guy again for one last clean-out.
I would like to go on record (if leaving a comment your your blog is “on record”) that I not only listened to, but actually called your internet-radio program with JtR. (But, did I get a call from the LA Times …?)
Hi Kris,
I read the above mentioned article a few weeks ago and was so excited to see you quoted! We don’t know each other, but I always enjoy your writing style, insights and humor on Inman. Thus, when I read a quote from the one and only Kris Berg of San Diego, I found it very cool. Keep up the excellence!
Thanks, Carin. When the Times does a story on you, tell them I am available for comment.
