Thoughts and travels of Patrick Lam

May: just a normal month.

Pretty much no teaching. Working on papers, and a weekend trip to Christchurch.

May: photos post

A more reasonable May, though still a fraction of photos processed numbers compared to late last year. Backlog under two years. Last Cascade Saddle set; Travers Sabine 2024; and one more TMB day.

April: no more classes, but still a bunch of teaching admin

Not quite done with teaching in April; that would be May. Two papers in progress and a trip to Montreal.

March and April: photos post

Neither took nor processed many photos in the last two months, but that still means that the backlog extends further back in time.

March: teaching and no trips to Aotearoa NZ but instead Edmonton, Vancouver, and Peterborough

Last month of classes and two trips to referee in the West.

Yet more course prep, a trip to Pohara and Angelus, and Quebec for Christmas.

Oops, back to 2 years of backlog, though barely. Better do something about that.

December: photos post

Still less than 2 years of backlog, though January will be slower for sure, with 3 courses of teaching.
