Welcome to my blog and website, Lessons In Mediocrity.
I am known in my community as a cranky, nearly insufferable malcontent who never hesitates to offer an opinion on almost any topic. I am a retired newspaper editor and the principal of a small strategic communications consulting firm.
This site serves a variety of functions: a one-stop destination for my personal blog, info about my consulting services and an archive of some of my favorite writing over the last 40 years, including examples of Public Policy Analysis, Favorite Essays, Selected Interviews and even my pitiful attempts at Fiction.
There is also ample room available for my often-satirical op-ed columns regarding my hometown of Biddeford Maine and its political machinations, as well as my thoughts on national issues, from gun control to climate change.
As a consumer of mental health services, I also routinely blog about mental illness and stigma. Enjoy!
