(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.

Sunday's Blog Entry Are you ready for some Football!

Ken and Betty's light display-January first is around the corner so this might be the last chance for a picture:

There was a glut of football and I saw a lot of it. The Mastercard/Peyton Manning commercials really amuse me. I hadn't seen them before. But in between I took a couple of good bike rides, tended my unused Internet store, fixed another computer, jawed with Mr. Haley, helped Harold and Julia set up their patio area-they are back from New Brunswick and glad of it. About 2:00 I stopped by Greg and Lew's. They had company that were preparing to go eat lunch-all had been on a two mile nature walk here in the park with dogs. Greg offered me some chocolate which I declined and I suggested lunch at the Park Avenue BBQ as a better cure for the munchies. We convoyed down there-not far. Sweet potato french fries and corn fritters are the delicious sides there. We enjoyed our pulled pork sandwiches and a beer. They had gone fishing Saturday- Lew caught the biggest-28 inches, after a good fight. But it was still undersized for the species so back it went. He lost the boat pool for largest fish. But they had an adventure.

Buster is really getting the leash thing down and we go at a pretty good clip-he is in front. He enjoys it. Yay!
