Horizon has been nominated for "Best Group Blog" in the Cliopatria awards.
I find this a bit surprising, not least because our output has been so low lately. It would be easy to blame this on the intrusions of Real Life — books, babies, and travel — but I've got another theory. Fundamentally, we are all curmudgeons whose M.O. is to lie in wait for someone to make a positive statement we can pounce on. This really doesn't lend itself to vigorous editorial output.
