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.

Palm Beacher gets last word, writing own obituary

Palm Beacher gets last word, writing own obituary

I follow several newspapers in the places I frequent. This may be the second-best obituary I have seen.
It is great not only for what she says but the "read between the lines," stuff. "Whatever doodley dums might be out there," deserves to become a catchphrase. Wish I had known her. She would have been a fun friend to have. Definitely Dionysian.
