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.

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.

Missed Deadline

I bought a few more days in the park. We have had daily rain slowing the progress-stuff has to be dry to store down here. I bought a solar fan to mitigate the heat and moisture that is taking a toll on the RV while stored. I cast about for someone a trifle skinnier to get on the roof of the rig. I called Greg. He returned the call from Georgia, then called with an update from Pennsylvania. That prospect was eliminated. They will be in NY and home today. When I went to Deerfield for a dinner yesterday I brought back an ingenious, sturdy folding ladder and I can reach what needs to be reached. Jason is in Orlando or a few days for a company meeting. He will be back before departure day so that is a bonus too.

Miss Honey has been a brat. I was loading the dogs in the Van yesterday and she took off. She had some poor kid on a park bench surrounded. I don't know what gets into her. She was hard to catch. She absconded down in Deerfield too. I think it could be spring and she will surely welcome being at home in Wyoming to run. Meanwhile she is constantly leashed.

I caught Therese and Rene on Skype and so talked to and saw them. They looked good. Still awaiting test results.
