(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 of the Woods Oregon

Day one of our journey found us at our destination-Winnemucca, NV where we took a motel room at our favorite Motel 6. We gassed up and I found an audiobook of The Spoon River Anthology. Over the 202 miles between gas stations purveying $3.50 per gallon gas I enjoyed hearing this classic that I re-visit about once a decade, usually in print. We made good enough time that we tokk a little side trip to Lake of theWoods. It had been ice until three days before we visited. The resort was just opening. We made it to Medford before rush hour. Good journey. Posted by Picasa
