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.

Gulp

It is 3:30 s.m. and I am sipping Sprite and nibbling Ritz crackers in an attempt to settle my stomach. I awoke awhile ago gulping air and swallowing. I think it is just taking my Tetracycline too close to bedtime. I ate light and sensibly all day long Monday because I had eaten grandly the day before. It seems I do end up "paying the piper" for my excesses more quickly at this time in my life.
