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.

Dismal

Dismal weather-it is warmer in Medford, OR than it is South Florida. I was planning to move tomorrow but I am not going out in freezing rain today to finish getting ready. I made good progress yesterday. Buster has the squirts and the hacks, but is getting better. Over all, not my favorite day of the 2009-2010 season.

Rich sent a nice basket from Harry and David's so we have (I have) treats and I made spaghetti sauce yesterday. I don't know what, if any effect the weather will have on the party in Fort Lauderdale tonight. Most people down here use the outdoors for a portion of a party. The weather will improve in a few days. The whole country is freezing. It is all relative.

Rick got a healthy paycheck yesterday. So he is on the way to getting back on his feet.

Need to get the Honey girl in. She thinks she needs to be outside but twenty minutes out there usually cures that until she forgets again.
