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.

Short and Sweet

Here we are at the Flying J in North Platte, Nebraska. Had to drive in the dark a bit more than we expected but we are off the road and gassed and fed, and the doggies walked and now zonking hard. Had the all time worst waitress in the world and she got the Art Roberts treatment complete with popping eyes and the whole attitude that used to scare the bejabbers out of us kids. She was "honeying" and "sweetie-ing" the livelong night but I still ratted on her and was told "We have more problems with that girl."

Much milder here. Drove with the window down for awhile. Weather forecasting seems to predict a gradual warming trend. Pleasant trip so far. Up and at 'em early tomorrow. Going to Kansas City. I understand that they've got some swingin' little women there.
