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.

Bum Day

They can't all be good. Monday sucked. It has turned cold and windy. Of course that is relative. The rest of the nation is enjoying blizzards. We are enjoying jackets and windbreakers. I went about my business feeling more and more put upon. Mean without provocation, tired in spite of sleep. By 9:30 p.m. it was obvious a bug was working on me. Took my antibiotics, an Aleve and escaped reality. A big cramp woke me up about 3:30 a.m. and I am apparently up for the day. I have that "had a fever feeling." My mineral tablets tried to reverse themslves on me this morning. The soup I made yesterday is untouched and available. Rest and recuperation Tuesday.
