Picaresque: Sorry Sue, he's taken

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.

Sorry Sue, he's taken

Friend and neighbor Sue kept telling me to look up the Town Marshall in Rand, CO as they were old friends. I thought-well she is pretty insistent -must be an old beau. So I resolved to do so. Rand is evidently so peaceful they made a joke of the Town Marshall. He is a dummy in an old International. When I got up close though it is obvious that he is mated for eternity. Rand unfortunately seems to be dang near dead. There are three businesses in town and two of them are closed and for sale. They look pretty well taken care of but if the traffic I encountered on this Tuesday is usual, there is no business to be had. Rand is a beauty spot but the idea of running a cafe there put me in mind of John Irving's Nickel Mountain which was so sad a novel I was unable to finish it.
