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.

Quick Report From Shreveport

A very long day from Gulfport to Shreveport. Toured a Plantation in Natchez but only did about a fourth of the Natchez Trace Parkway. I was loving every minute of it but it was constantly raining and the forecast was for worse so my sleeping rough along the trace like the folks in the 1800's was a wussout. When I saw the turnoff to Vicksburg I passed it, stopped at a monument, and checked weather via satellite radio and read maps and flipped a 180. Here we are and it is a mite nippy at the Fying J.

Matt sounded better and his pain is being managed better. Better go while I still have some battery power left.I'll post pictures and fill in details when I have daylight and a wall outlet.
