If you're not quick with thank-you notes, they start to stack up. So I can't delay any further in thanking:
1. Blawg Review's wonderful Ed. -- for letting me host Blawg Review last year at all, and for awarding my effort a bronze medal, third best of the Blawg Review posts of 2007. Since first- and second-place honors were so clear (Colin Samuels's final installment of his masterful Dante trilogy and Eric Turkewitz's brilliant New York Marathon edition), and the other submissions were so good, I'm extremely proud of this.
2. The ABA Journal's Stephanie Francis Ward for quoting me in her terrific story on trial blogs, "Full Court Coverage," in the current issue.
3. Gideon for hitting Publish on a post at Public Defender Stuff that contained the phrase, "the incomparable Anne Reed." I may never get over it.
