Happy Birthday, Peter !

Happy Birthday, Peter !

Went for a nice hike today. But the best part was when it was over. Karen informed me that she wanted to drive home. Not unusual, so I thought nothing more about it. As I was sitting in the passengers seat she asked me if I had any coffee left from this morning. That was a little weird as I rarely finish my coffee before our hike and she never asks me. I say yes and she hands me a bottle of her turmeric/ginger Kombucha. I looked at her quizzically and she just said, “open it up and smell it”. So I did, and it was definitely not Kombucha, in fact my nose immediately informed my brain that it was bourbon. So I poured it into my coffee and had a very nice ride home. Did I say that I love my wife?

Pretty nice birthday weekend. Started out Friday giving my “famous” dinosaur lecture for Norwich’s Dino Day, then Saturday we went for a late lunch at J. Morgans Steakhouse. Sunday we went for a four hour hike that ended up taking 6 hours because we went the wrong way to the trailhead and ended up having to park the car 1+ miles from the trailhead 🤦‍♂️. Anyway, a very enjoyable birthday in Vermont.

Last night baching it for dinner: A nice salad with great Bleu Cheese dressing Bruschetta Polenta Veal Marsala with Risotto Tiramisu

Happy Birthday, Andrew!

All Administration and tenured or tenure track faculty have to wear a uniform during the school year. That includes the Provost but not non-tenured associate professors, i.e. me. Karen during the Dog River Run a couple of weeks ago.

Going to be hanging in the president’s box at our football home opener.

Good Luck Nate. Sorry I couldn’t be there to help cheer you and your team on.

Put Florida in the rearview mirror

Karen dragged my ass (part way) up and down a local mountain

That’s one of the things my pocket knife is used for.

Happy Birthday, Jack!

Done!

Got a picture of Peter with a few of his Class of 2026 friends. He’s in the middle bottom of the C.

It is a bit big to lug around but the screen is definitely fine to work on without an external monitor, unlike my 13” M1. I think this is the best MacBook I have ever used.

Got a new buddy for my Mac Studio from work

Happy Birthday, Ian!

Me too.

Dropped Peter off at CSU on Monday.

I will not be fully retired for about four years. The math is pretty transparent.

Got my new little Mac Studio for work

Visited Killington Vt and their tribute to the Beatles (or Charles Manson)

Happy Birthday, Todd!

How did I miss this? Happy Birthday, Antonio!
