You must remember this....

Yes, I forgot about Blawg Review on Monday. I could make excuses, but I'd prefer to just channel Steve Martin and say, "I forgot! Excuuuuuse me!" Honestly, it's be nice if they'd just set aside a day each year for us to remember things; we could call it Remembery Day or Not-Forgetty Day, or Memorial Day or something catchy like that.

Fortunately for Blawg Review, I was not scheduled to host this week and the fine folks at the Securing Innovation blog didn't forget their hosting duties. In Blawg Review #311, they've put together a very nice survey of the best legal blogging of the past week. There are some touching Memorial Day tributes to servicemembers, of course, as well as posts concerning the participation of crime victims in prosecution decision-making, a tattoo dispute rearing its ugly face, and a kerfuffle over a footballer's injunction exposing the tension between privacy and speech rights in the UK and tarnishing the rule of law in the process.

Meanwhile, the Blawg Review future hosts listings are starting to look like one of those lonely hearts sites -- "Date Available" as far as the eye can see, unless you can see into next January when the redoubtable Charon QC is scheduled to misbehave. Step up, step up....
