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.

Justin Graduates!


Saturday saw Buster, the wonder dog, and me tooling to Casper for the festive graduation of the last of we three brothers kid's: Justin, pictured here with his two elder sisters, Heather and Alicia. Alicia drove from Denver, outdistancing me by plenty and she is on her way back now so she can work tomorrow. The graduation was great: kid focused, warm, not too rowdy (parents!-some of them do have reason to be pleasantly surprised their kid made it but there was no suspense on our part.) The Casper Events Center was pretty nearly full, dim and big so the cameras were hard put but we assembled some pictures at the web album.

Justin's mom and her husband hosted a post-graduation party and it was very nice: good grits, good will, and good chatting. Justin's dad, Rich played for his kid in the KW band which was small- school is out? The choir was full and great. It rocked.

Too bad Rich and Peg had such homely kids.
