Picaresque

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.

Arts Festival in Deerfield Beach

Lori scouted out the Arts Festival in Deerfield so we went. We had a great day: interesting things to see; arts crafts, food, excellent music, and the people! A very temperate day at the beach with an occasional breeze to cool us off.

The doggies had a play day and were (apparently) well behaved.

Midafternoon, we dogs headed home. The kids had sent Girl Scout cookies home with me-several boxes. I dropped one off for Greg and Lew who were nursing hangovers-Thin mints always make me feel better.

The new neighors- "van campers" Renee and Terese, had gone to the simulcast of the Metropolitan Opera's Orfeo and Euridice-they were surprised to find the guy with Wyoming plates conversant with the production and opera. We swapped tales of our day. They got "Samoa" cookies. I think I will keep the rest.

Greg wandered over in the dusk and was in a "stream of consciousness mood." He always has interesting history tales, current events, insights, dreams and aspirations. We visited well into the dark. Pupper and Honey played. I was ready for sleep after I cooked dinner and ate.

This is my 800th Blog entry.
