(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.

Played all day and Hard Rocked all night

R

Juneau and his neighbor/best-friend Tahoe are entertainers. They have the run of the place and wide latitude to play. Jason fixed breakfast Saturday morning and the plan was to go to Delray beach arts and crafts festival. My kidneys decided to work overtime, though and after three trips at the Deerfield house and a close call at a BP station in Delray, I knew I was an accident waiting to happen so I peeled off for home. They seemed to have enjoyed themselves- Rich and Val found one-of-a-kind rings for their "Day" (TBA). Jason found some signs for his dock and Lori and Justin devilled each other. Justin tried to report Lori for harrassment and the cop just said: "You should be so lucky." They came to see the Boynton house and we went to see my spot at John Prince Campground. It is going to be a tight fit. Lots of construction- I was a bit disappointed but I did see some old friends.

Lori instructs Val in Pilates Exercise. Lori goes to sessions twice a week to help keep her joints from freezing with diabetes. She also has some equipment at home. Val was impressed-helped her.
Justin at nineteen is legal for the Casino but not the bars at the Hard Rock Casino. Nonetheless, he had a few Coronas with our excellent Tex-Mex meal at the Tequila Ranch. Full of himself, he bought himself a cigar which nearly caused his father to have apoplexy. Jason coached Justin in playing the slots and he made $6.00.
The Hard Rock was teeming with a great variety of humanity, the fountain light show has become spectacular, the music venues were rocking, the rickshaws were beeping. It is always a hoot. Jason proposed a toast to my dear Goody for this is the place they brought me to cheer me up on the day she became a place in my heart only. When we left at midnight cars and people were still streaming in. Rock and Roll!
