Bacon’s Rebellion

has been a huge part of my life for the past six years. But it’s time for a break, as I explain in “Passing the Baton.” While I will continue to participate in Virginia’s public policy dialog in the blog, I just don’t have the energy right now to keep up the time-consuming commitment of publishing the e-zine every other week. I have more important obligations, foremost among them my wife, my children and my elderly parents.

That doesn’t mean the e-zine is necessarily dead, or even dormant. It may be taking a breather. A number of long-time friends of the e-zine have approached me with ideas for keeping it going. I am most gratified by their response, and I’m open to their thoughts. I expect those conversations to unfold over the next two or three weeks. If there are any breakthroughs, I will keep you posted.

Meanwhile, if anyone has any suggestions on how to keep the e-zine going, or knows of any potential benefactors — life was sweet when the Piedmont Environmental Council supported us, I didn’t have to make a “real” living — please feel free to e-mail me at jabacon@baconsrebellion.com.
