Picaresque is the adjective to describe writings about a common or low character who survives the pitfalls of life through luck or good fortune. My travels, interests, my animals, my photographs, my wonderful friends and family are featured.

(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.

Pleasant, Productive, Sunday

After burglarizing a house in order leave a birthday present yesterday-goodies from Oregon's Harry and David's, that needed to be given shelter, I had a relatively relaxed day around here. The iPod I gave Eve a couple of years ago, is registered to my computer. Hers was running Windows ME at the time but now she has a MacIntosh. I spent a lot of time online in the "Lindy studio" trying to get that figured out-and didn't. She can use my account. If the big bills roll in I know where to find her. I recorded some music from Cheryl's collection in Oregon and had to figure out how to get it on the studio computer and on my iPod. That worked. More than 40 days of continuous tunes on that puppy and I enjoyed the listen down memory lane. Honey needed playing with. She is a changed dog after our trip. Much more attached and more mellow. Had a funny email from Casper- a photoshopped woodpecker and (alleged) lesbian inserted in my photograph. The recent snow pointed out some outdoor handeyman chores that needed done so I did them.
The East Coast kids got back from their cruise to Nova Scotia and parts in between down to Boston, last night. They shared photographs which I love and am sharing with you. Makes me want to mount up and go! My camera shutter finger is twitching!
These look like jig-saw puzzle pictures! I wish I had taken them.

Jason and Lori are glad to be back with their puppy. They have formed a relationship with Bob the Exterminator (previously mentioned in these very pages- about April, I believe). As noted then, he is a "born again Christian/musician/exterminator" and his wife homeschools their daughter. They are happy to move in while the kids are gone (and who wouldn't be) and be dogsitters. Juneau is well cared for in return (and I don't want to hear about the cash or dead possums).
