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.

HOME!

We left Winnemucca shortly after 6:00 a.m PST. McDonald's good coffee lasted us until Wells, Nevada which's Flying J has a good cook, and a clean restroom, and nice grass for the doggie with lots of interesting sniffs. I had signed up for a month of Flying J WiFi last night because Motel 6 (by the way the light was burned out! in my room) is Internet barren. So I sent a few emails from Wells with pictures that pertained to yesterday's travels and elicited several "Where in the Hell are you's?" Jason responded from an airplane. I wasted exactly 48 minutes from the Garmin's original projection of arrival time on my doorstep. That included gas stops, food stops and potty stops. Still it was a darn long day- 9:15 p.m. MST arrival home. I was almost on autopilot sometimes.

It took Buster about 15 seconds to discover the Norse's dogs had been peeing in our yard and he gave them "what-for." The sheriff of this proppity is back in town! Of course they gave him the doggie equivalent of "ha, ha, nyah, nyah."

Good to be home.... It was a great visit.
