Opis

"Musings from the Middle" is a collection of thoughts and observations from John Y. Brown III. "Musings from the Middle" came about by happenstance. My good friend Jonathan Miller was launching a blog titled "The Recovering Politician" and needed regular contributors. I wrote a column for the inaugural week and then promised a follow up column every week - and then after missing my first deadline - every two weeks. After missing my new deadline several times, I confided in Jonathan that I felt like I had let him down but had too much going on to meet a regular writing deadline on serious policy matters-and I added I wasn't in the frame of mind at this point in my life to write about political issues. I wanted a break. Jonathan graciously understood but, always the creative entrepreneur, a few days later had a new idea. "You know those random posts you put on Facebook every day?" Jonathan asked. "Yes," I said. "What if I used them? You don't have to write on public policy or politics and can write whatever you want about anything you want. Just keep posting on Facebook and at the end of every week I'll pull down my favorites and post on the Recovering Politician blog the next week. I was stuck. What could I say except yes? So I said yes. And am forever grateful I did. At first we did one post a week and then three and then five. Jonathan dubbed it "Musings from the Middle." And that was some 400 posts and 400 pages ago. So he suggested this book. Who am I to argue with this guy? Hope you have a fraction of the fun I have had in writing this
