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.

Colorado Cuzzin Fest-is history




We had a great weekend-old friends, new friends, a diverse group of nice people. The ancestors were either pleased or shaking their heads because nobody got punched. Aunt Luella tried to break up a fight one time and ended up on her ample ass for her efforts. This group was amazingly amiable and Yahtzee and fierce Scrabble were the only competitive points. Rich worked the woodpile and did a number of projects. I had taken the attitude beforehand, at Donna's invitation, that I was going to coast this time and I did! I still am. Buster and I are soldiering on in serene solitude after joyful noises, twice and once-told tales, warm memories, dining, drinking, visiting: catching up with older acquaintances and making new ones. Ed and Tracy were a treat. We need to see them more often. Val's sister and her family are great-interesting people. They spent a week on a houseboat on Lake Powell this summer. If the weekend wasn't nice, I don't know what is.
