Picaresque

Picaresque is the adjective to describe writings about a common or low character who survives the pitfalls of life through luck or good fortune. My travels, interests, my animals, my photographs, my wonderful friends and family are featured.

(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.

Lake Worth Street Art Festival

An artist works on her entry. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Artists of all ages, types and descriptions work in pastel chalks painting on the streets in downtown Lake Worth. Come Monday morning it will all be gone. Art for art's sake- no commercial sales, the only record is what thousands of shutterbugs will take away. There was music of several types from Inca flutes to an electronic Swinette. Great food for sale, shops to browse, restaurants to visit. Bungie jumps and wall climbing for kids, All pleasant people from police officers to tourists. The art loosened tongues- people talked to each other. The folk singers played at the Cultural Plaza which hosts a large building devoted to, of all things, ART! It was a great day. Posted by Picasa
