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.

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.

Lew's Birthday Party

I'm looking at a stack of garbage on my kitchen counter. I was too tired to haul it to the dumpster and the outside garbage can is too big an invitation to the coons. All familiar sights: They saw the game hen post on the blog and expressed envy so I did a repeat. There is very little in the way of leftovers. I saved a half of hen for my "kids."One exception: "Death by chocolate dessert" with a trick candle for dessert. We had a nice time. I am glad to have them around. We got nearly hysterical talking about them getting kicked out of the park last year. Now that they are settled and happy at Mar a Lago Cay trailer park, it is a funny story. As Lew said "How bad do you have to be to get kicked out of a trailer park?" Doesn't look good on the resume.

Mike from Coastal RV called about the time I was really getting going on my cooking. The element for my water heater came in. I told him to come on Monday.

My poor neighbors left this morning. They are on their third site and will be near neighbors when they get to their reserved site. Unfortunately, Honey decided she didn't like him last year and her opinion hasn't changed. He is a nice man. He coasted on my Internet for two years. The park internet seems to be down since last night. Verizon is still cooking though.
