About Me
- Name: Stephen's Pictures
- 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.

About 1 p.m. I was cleaning and messing with the Van. I went to the house and Buster was waiting for a ride. I came back about ten minutes later and he was gone. He is good about coming when I whistle. I have been up and down the road, neighbors places, looking in the ditches, holes barns, old dog house, calling him and whistling. Not a trace of him. As each hour passes and each daily ritual passes with no Buster, my hopes grow dim. He is a dog who doesn't miss dinner. He is/was my buddy. I am so sad. Life without a dog is unimaginable to me and I like the one I have. The clock is ticking toward departure. I do not need this. I want him here under the table as I type. I want him warming my bed before I get in it. I want to know he is safe and warm and not afraid.
