Picaresque: Finally made it to the Beach

About Me

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.

Finally made it to the Beach

The wind made for big waves today but I had to cast my eyes on the Atlantic Ocean. Enough with the laundry, stowing and and settling. The pot roast cooked on Sunday ended with hot roast beef sandwiches on 7 grain bread tonight. Laundry was a big job with lots of items that had been sitting in the coach for 8 months going along with the wardrobe. Being the only native English speaker in the laundromat was an insight provoking experience but the people were very nice. Machismo seems to have given way to men who hold the babies and fold the laundry with their wives. They all look so young. Bless them.

But that was yesterday. Today we rode the bike and limbered up the cameras and visited the Jeep to retrieve doggie fencing and pay its keep for a few more months on the way to the beach... ships and birds and a few hardy sunbathers. Things to see.
