(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.

Traditional Sunday

I had planned for and executed a Traditional Sunday as passed down from the Mason side, through my folks and seldom celebrated anymore. I had a nice little pork loin roast, sweet and sauerkraut, baked potatoes, cinnamon applesauce about 2:30 in the afternoon. My granny or my mom would have also produced dessert. I had a small Hershey bar with almonds. My stock went up with the hounds-pork loin made their ears prick up. Honey was singing for her supper. Sated, we sat outside for awhile and about 3:30 I went in to start a Tony Hillerman novel that came from Amazon. I awoke about 6:00 p.m. with the dogs at my feet. That part was traditional too- dozing men. A good mystery does not last long around here. With my nap already taken, I buzzed right through it, finally falling in bed about 2:00 a.m.
