Picaresque: You Observe the Natives and they Observe You

About Me

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.

You Observe the Natives and they Observe You

These two big fella's were at the entrance to the park this afternoon. A baby raccoon was not bothered even a little bit as I stopped to watch him eat not three feet from me on my walk last night. No camera.

I went to get a hostess gift for a big shinding at David and Jacqui's tonight-and found myself at a Christmas Parade in downtown Lake Worth. I love this place! The diversity is jaw-dropping. Everybody enjoys and gets along. It makes me smile. I think I missed the first half of the parade but what I saw was great. It deserves another post and an album -perhaps tomorrow.

Slept at John Prince last night-twice- a nap around 4:30 and beddy-bye time around midnight. Headed for Boynton and a five nozzle shower ruight now- have clothes that I think will work but getting presentable takes a lot of time these days.
