(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.

To Heck with Human Growth Hormone!

I want puppy growth hormone! Cold and wet most of the day so less outdoor running and more cooped up. The Honey-bear was wild and in every nook and cranny and just full of it. Just enough cute stuff to keep me laughing. I was checking my email and the dogs were under the table. All of a sudden USB devices were shutting off and the mouse was dead. I checked the cord and it was neatly severed by little puppy teeth and it caused the USB multiport to die. She found one of Buster's old bones and they took turns stealing it and having it in two mouths-growling and eye to eye. Very funny. After we came back from town she sat in the rain and watched the cows that came close to the house to get out of the wind. She is apparently impervious to the elements whereas Buster and I ventured no further than the porch. Drying her off was a trick. She ran down about 20 minutes ago. Thank you Jesus!

The main projects are successfully completed to this point. Should make life easier. Lesser projects are now ready to be undertaken. I feel like I am on a roll.
