New term, new classes, new office

I started teaching 2 compressed summer courses at McMaster beginning the very next morning after returning from our trip. After almost 2 years without a place to sit, I finally moved into my new office!

I added my own photos for decoration.
The globe on the table rotates on its own (solar powered). I bought it in Sausalito California.

This is the view when entering through the glass door to the office.
The photo on the wall is one I took in Hawaii.

A little bare, but all the essentials are in place. It will take some time to make it look lived in...

The new office with all the tech connected up! I use my laptop with a docking hub to turn it into a desktop.
The desk also rises to allow me to work at standing height.

In the second week of the courses, I finally had the surgery (for my prostate) that I was supposed to have in the early spring. This time it didn't get changed on me, and it didn't mess up my teaching schedule!

In the recovery room - well enough to take a selfie!

Our somewhat busy winter

I guess it has been busy over the last several months, although not too many photos to show you.  Check out the captions to see what's been up.

So that about sums up the last 4 months. Next on the agenda?  A trip to San Francisco, Maui, Oahu, Hawaii, and Vancouver - all in 3 weeks!

More photos to come!
