Thoughts and travels of Patrick Lam

April: finally done with Winter term

Whew! Finished teaching for Spring term. Western Newfoundland; around Montreal; and Brampton. Home repair.

Western Newfoundland, April 6-9, 2023

Marble Mountain, arguably better than Tremblant; unarguably fewer lines. Gros Morne in the winter.

Bouldering Gym Review: Backbone Boulder, Bromont, April 2023

Small but worthy climbing gym in Bromont. Also offers other services (café, terrasse, hammocks).

Japan part III: Two days in Hokkaido and one in Tokyo, February 2023

The last segment of our Japan trip: skiing and birbs in Hokkaido, as well as snowshoeing and katte don. Plus most of a day in Tokyo.

March: lots of good news

Reasonable success this month, professionally (awarded grant, major revisions on a paper) and for refereeing (selected for Canadian nationals). Lots of work and also weekend trips.
