(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.

Lunch at John Prince Park with Jason and Juneau

I had a serious bike ride yesterday morning working up a good sweat. Jason called just as I was headed for the bathhouse and said he was bringing the dog and lunch. Juneau is a highly interactive dog and Lori needed a housecleaning break. Jason showed up with huge burritos from Chipotle. I thought mine was more than I could eat but I proved myself wrong. They were excellent. We took the big dogs on a pretty good walk. Juneau napped with his head on my feet, paying me a huge compliment. A very pleasant interlude.

Poor Goody was nearly comatose last night. I moved her pain pill up by a day and she is fine today. Buster is a little intimidated by Juneau so he stayed in the house.

My central air conditioning hs been working pretty well this year but it works best if started early-then it keeps up fine. Yesterday I failed to do that and it was 10:00 p.m. before it caught up. This current weather is more like summer they say. I wouldn't know.
