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.

Where Am I?

I will try to form an outline of the days and back and fill when I am not operating on the basis of racing batteries before they fade. I made it to Gretna , contiguous with Omaha, Nebraska, in plenty of time to have a visit before Bob and Doris headed off to see the Irish Rovers. (A dog act?). Their new house is great. I took lots of pictures.




The trip through St. Louis did not disappoint- for an hour and a half I did not have a clue where I was-entirely trusting my fate to the Garmin GPS. There is no doubt St. Louis is a great American City but the transportation and roads are a mess. I was glad to drift into Illinois. I think I am in Mt. Vernon or Cairo. Motel 6 and a shower is next. All is well although I am tired tonight.
