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.

Autumn in Oregon

From perpetually green Florida, and the browning Wyoming, we have gathered in colorful Oregon. Lori got in Thursday morning. I went to wait with Matt at Eve's house. Jason had given Matt an HTC unlocked cellphone PDA that will not be released in the USA until late November. I passed on the gadget freak gene to my boys. Matt was very pleased. On and off we three men were demonstrating our various fancy cell phones until it reached the point we were sitting on Eve's deck, having traveled a combined 5000 miles to see one another, sending each other emails from our cell phones! We started laughing. Nuts!

Eve made a big pot of chili for lunch and I remembered on the way over how Lori got me hooked on Fritos last winter so I picked up some Fritos and shredded cheese and we had some good feasting. With pouches full and after traveling, naps were in order all around. Buster and I came back to the motel.

Eve's neighbor and friend Happi cooked a pork roast with carrots, potatoes and onions. Eve made a good salad. We had a good visit and dinner. Audrey had a good afternoon playing with Aunt Lori but she got an owie on her knee. It feels great to be all together. Eve is preening. We have loose plans formulated for the time we have. It should be a great time.
