A bad day at work today was wiped away when I got home and found my copy of Notes from the sausage factory in the mail. Notes is the just-published anthology of essays on Virginia politics co-edited by Barnie Day and Becky Dale.

The book looks great. I know that it has been Barnie’s labor of love for quite some time. It was Barnie who pounded the pavement, worked the phones, the shot the emails to snag the contributors and keep them on deadline. He and Becky can be justly proud of its look and contents. One thing I didn’t expect was the photo section–Del. Bob Marshall (R-Manassas) behind the camera and Barnie writing the captions. Strange bedfellows, indeed!

I’m jumping around reading the essays, but it’s all good. You can get your copy from the exclusive distributor: Bacon’s Rebellion.
