Visiting the physics department at UC Davis yesterday and today. It's a nice campus (and all the students bike, so it feels almost continental European despite being in the California Central Valley). Will be visiting a local friend tomorrow - and then I'll be off to FC!

2025 was a strange one for me... a lot of good times, some very difficult times. It's left me with a lot to think about. I hope 2026 is calmer and steadier...!

Time to start my long winter trip! This year I have been so distracted I've not even scheduled half of it yet, but I'll be flying to Albuquerque today and out of San Francisco on the 19th. Hoping to catch up with lots of friends!

International travel can be a drag but I do enjoy being able to sleep for 12 hours the evening after returning home...
