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.

Sarasota, Florida- view from the 10th Avenue Park

This wasn't the Ringling Museum but it was a picnic. A very beautiful and tranquil place to rest after coping with Saraota drivers who have to rank among the very rudest anywhere. A map only a year old had only a listing for the Ringling school so that is where we went. There was no parking for miles and no shade for the doggies. We passed. On our way north, we saw the signs for the museum-too new an attraction to have been on our map. Next time...

We had a nice corner of the Flying J lot at Dade City to call our own on this night. We fired up our ingenious Yamaha (virtually noiseless, 27 pounds) generator and answered email and surfed the net Dined evening and the next morning sharing enough plunder (not much really) from the buffets to get medications down the dogs. Once again we found starting the engine at 3:00 a.m. a necessity. This morning we called Marilu to alert her we were close and were coming on in. Posted by Picasa
