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.

Department of Clarification

I DO NOT HAVE ALZHEIMER'S! My sarcasm missed the boat. A person who shall remain un-named told a good friend of mine that she heard I had Alzheimer's. This made my friend very angry and I was both amused and a little ticked off- that although I was 2300 miles from Rumorton, WY that the gossipy tongues were still wagging. I mean some of these folks profess to be Christians! My health, mental, and otherwise, is fine. I had a complete physical before I left and it has been improvements ever since. Blood pressure is down, walking and pedalling, visiting and seeing something besides snow and ruminants is all positive. As for the gossips, it took two phone calls to track that down and I'll deal with that in my own time. I never cease to wonder at some folk's capacity for meanness. Meanwhile, I am letting nothing get in the way of having a good time in sunny Florida.
