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.

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.

Alicia's Senior Recital

My niece Alicia performs at the Fine Arts Auditorium at the University of Wyoming. She has developed a great voice. Her Casper families put on a post-concert reception and it was nice to visit with the them. I met the Brazilian students Alicia will visit in Brasilia on her graduation reward trip. She has worked hard and has excellent grades to prove it.
I took old highway 30 home-avoiding the barely controlled mayhem of I-80. It was a pleasant journey on a decent road and down memory lane. There is more prosperity along that road than I have seen in awhile-all related to energy whether from minerals or the miles of wind turbines. Very little traffic- my new route of choice. A very nice day in Wyoming. Posted by Picasa
