Changes...

We've just adopted a cat, Tulip. Such a sweetheart. This should mean we stay home more, but somehow I don't think that's going to happen.

New Mexico!

In May, I went to New Mexico for work. The meeting was in Santa Fe and my lab visit was to Los Alamos, but my free time was spent exploring Albuquerque, Taos, and beautiful places in between. I have pictures, though I don't have pictures of Part 2 of the trip to Las Vegas. That was fun, too.

I've had many work trips, but in April I had my first work trip to the hometown of Columbus. So here I am all dressed up for my hometown speech to an energy R&D conference in downtown Columbus, at the front door of my parents' house. Mom was so proud.

Catching up to do! Colombia

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted new photos. Not to worry, I have been to a lot of places. I went to Colombia in April for work, my first time in South America. I had a busy few days in Bogota, really just one day to look around and take a few pictures. Fascinating place.

But the highlight of my travels so far this year is a week long trip I took to India in January. It was for work, courtesy of the Department of Commerce. I spent several days in Kolkata and then Delhi. The highlight was of course the day I spent in Agra, home of the Taj Mahal. It really is every bit as beautiful as everyone says. So of course there are lots of pictures, including several of me taken by some kind Koreans and Japanese.



Along the way, Jeff and I found time to go skiing in several different places, including three mountains in Vermont (with a side trip to Montreal), Vail (with my parents and others), and even Snowshoe WV for Easter.
