Picaresque: Second Blog Entry on Sunday

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.

Second Blog Entry on Sunday

Greg and Lew's neighbor invited us for his daughter's 40th birthday party. They went to Lew's mom's birthday party but I was game for this one. The day broke to rain and they moved the party to the pavillion but they couldn't trick me. I missed the main grub but had ice cream and cake, took pictures, went home and made nice prints and gave them to the birthday girl as the only present I had to offer on short notice. Went partly to see if hare-lips were genetic; apparently not.

Packed outdoor stuff up during the nice part of the day. Progress is being made. Soaped up the patio rug I loaned to Gary and Joyce, thinking the predicted rain would rinse it. Good strategy because there is flood warning for this area tonight. The rain and lightning has been impressive to me and terrifying to Buster. Used up the last package of liver tonight and so strong was its attraction that Buster ate dinner anyway. He usually doesn't eat when he is upset.

Had some funny emails today. Call and email from Joyce-they made it home about noon. Cool and rain on the roof make a good night's sleep a likely prospect. Get her done!
