About Me

Name:
Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Best Blog Entry ever lost in Cyberspace!

Blogged last night and pushed the publish button and I evidently had been timed out here at the Flying J. All work vanished. The lesson: Be brief at Flying J. I am in Checotah, OK. After a good rest near Memphis and a sunshiny day traveling through Tennessee, beautiful Arkansas, and surprising picturesque Oklahoma we are about 115 miles from Oklahoma City and waiting to time our arrival there until after the morning rush. Guess I will save the rest so I have something to talk about later.

Met some folks who were crazier than I am last night. Really nice 5th wheel camper pulled in ahead of me. Out they came with 6 dogs and a pet pig! Furthermore they are truck drivers and take their vacation driving around with a camper and dogs. They have the back seat of their extended cab modified to make a bench and the piggy rides there. What a hoot. Pig is next! (Jokes, managing the doggies is enough of a challenge for me! )
