Vigorous, and first rate: Charon QC.

The effects of a vigorous genius working upon large materials.

--Samuel Johnson, on Dryden's life's work

The above quote, in Charon QC's case, really is fitting. At the moment--i.e., all last week, today and for the next week--I don't have time to read anything. You know what I mean. But I read every word of Charon's Blawg Review #193, and I hope some time this week you can do the same. At #193, London's Charon has "themed"--but he didn't really need to. Here again is writing a blog as an art form at Blawg Review. Charon even makes lawyers look as well-rounded and "on the ball" in other walks of life as we should be: fun, erudite, instructive, brave, and very alive. While I am proud of the quality of blogs by U.S. lawyers and commentators, Albion's best pundit and London guide gives you an idea of how non-U.S. blogs, and especially European ones, can get you quickly to a whole new way of looking at, and reacting to, your world. Well done, sir, and next time I'll buy the Rioja. Finally, bravo to the hard-working, elusive and peripatetic Ed., for going after and showcasing the very best, from no matter what part of the globe it may come.

Dan - a Happy New Year to you and all at WAC?

I had a spike of hits from WAC? !

Thank you for your kind words. Blawg Review is a an excellent forum for widening (and sharing) knowledge and ideas. It was a pleasure to be invited to do another BR and, if I recall, it was your suggestion some time back that I should do a BR. I'm glad you made the suggestion and that the mysterious Ed was prepared to let me run amok!

I'll take you up on the Rioja, naturally. I'll be in touch. Britain has finally ended the great British shutdown, but now that we have a quarter of an inch of snow the country's transport links are 'troubled'. C'est la vie.

The employment of Rioja is a sad and pathetic attempt to deny his enormous cache of second tier Ch. Talbot, which Charon quietly decants in a backroom, then pretends to swill out of a paper bag in order to pretend that he is not the only remaining titled Republican in Britain.

Unlike another geeky Brit blawgger who shall remain nameless, Charon does not have the Mistress Ruthie dressed in a medieval serving wench costume bringing him wine and mead on a regular basis, but is constrained to fill his own glass. Rumors to the contrary are total lies.
