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.

Weeki Wachee warm welcome

My friend (Delores' childhood friend) Mary Lou on their patio that overlooks a canal that leads to the gulf Coast. What a warm welcome. Howard and Marylou pulled out all the stops: imported Belgian Beer, (potent and delicious) a boat ride that was ended by a sandbar, low tide or too much ballast (me?) that was enjoyable if not exactly a Manatee sighting tour. How great to step out your back door and head to the marshes and ocean! We tried to get to the beach but several hundred others had the same idea so we turned around. Had a great lunch at a good seafood place. Buffalo Shrimp? Delicious. It was so very interesting to see how they lived and their philosphy. If we lived closer I am sure we would be great friends and partners in crime,

Was on my way to the Flying J at Quincy, FL mid-afternoon. We "camped" there west of Pensacola. Out the back of the van was an abandonded yard with beautiful flowering bushes. Once again a car warming session about 3:00 a.m. was needed. Posted by Picasa
