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.

Went Gator Hunting and all I got was a lousy...


Lizard. Thought it was time to get out of the house and park and do something. The Loxahatchie National Wildlife Refuge has been on my list for two seasons. Having been to some other N.W.R.'s this was a bit of a disappointment. The landscape and vegetation were interesting but the wildlife was sparse. The "Butterfly Park" was home to a swarm of gnats- no butterflies. I'm glad I had my Golden Age Passport because I would not have been pleased about paying for admission. Still, it was exercise, fresh air, beautiful day and a change of scenery so kwitchyerbitchin'. More pix here:
