+<h2>Winter Solstice Greetings - 2014</h2>
+
+<p>
+Hello to all my friends and family.
+I hope that you are feeling peaceful, cozy, and happy in these winter months.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For a long time I've wanted to start a tradition of sending out yearly letters.
+In this, the 25th year of my life, I've finally gotten around to doing it.
+I'm inspired by my mother, who has been sending out letters since the 80s.
+It's a wonderful way to keep in contact, and it serves as a great personal record.
+It may seem anachronistic now that we have email and social media, but keeping it a physical letter just feels good.
+Please let me know if your address changes (email is probably best) so I can send you letters in future years.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I'm now a fourth year Analytical Chemistry graduate student at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
+I do research in the lab of John Wright.
+We do ultrafast, multidimensional spectroscopy of solar materials.
+I'm involved in many projects, but mainly I'm working on BiVO4 and PbSe quantum dots.
+I'll continue this research for another one to two years.
+After that? I'm not too sure yet.
+Grad school has been very fun for me, I really enjoy working in this field and the people that I interact with are all fantastic.
+John in particular is a great mentor personally and scientifically.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As a vacation this year mom and I went out to California by car, primarily to visit bay area relatives.
+It was an all-around stellar experience.
+Driving from Wisconsin to California takes a long time, but the geography is stunningly beautiful.
+Highlights included clouds in Nebraska, Big Trees, Yosemite, and the Bonneville salt flats.
+The bay area itself was also beautiful, of course.
+It's crazy to realize that I haven't  been out to see that side of the family since Grandma Betty's funeral in 2005.
+Will have to make a concerted effort to go out west more often.
+Perhaps I'll have to swallow my pride and get on a plane.

+Our family cat, Untzag, died unexpectedly in October of this year.
+She was run over by a car.
+Vehrzheen, the family dog, is geriatric and probably not long for this world.
+2015 will probably be the first year in my life without a family dog or cat.
+Ridgeback, my turtle, is still going strong.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Madison continues to be a great city for me.
+I take advantage of it less then I should.
+I'm going out to eat and grab drinks more in recent months.
+The folk community here is very active, and I was able to dance weekly for most of the year.
+I've been taking a break from contradance over the last several months, but plan to dance again come January.
+I was able to see Yelle and Of Montreal in the same month this fall.
+Both were absolutely fantastic live.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Have a great new year.

+<h2>Winter Solstice Greetings - 2015</h2>
+
+<p>
+Hello to all my friends and family.
+I hope that you are feeling peaceful, cozy, and happy in these unusually warm winter months.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Following time honored Thompson tradition I'm already slipping behind in my holiday greeting card schedule.
+I'm writing this the day \textit{after} winter solstice.
+Madison is unusually warm for the time of year.
+Outside it is very foggy and a large amount of rain is expected later.
+Previous snowfall has long since melted.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I'm now well into my 5th year of graduate school.
+As of early December I've become the senior experimentalist on the femtosecond materials project.
+Older graduate students in the group are still around but are focusing exclusively on finishing their dissertations.
+Projects that I have been working on are finally being published.
+Writing papers is frustrating but enjoyable once done.
+Currently we are caught up to data collected 1.5 years ago, so there is much to do.
+I'm hopeful that 2016 can be a breakout year where we really can use these tools we've created to say something useful about solar materials.

+<p>
+The picture above is me tubing on a Wright Group boating trip on lake Mendota.
+I was able to hold on for quite some time but did end up being thrown trying to do some tricks.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I didn't take any large vacations this year.
+The family did spend some time at Towanda lake in northern Wisconsin.
+It was fun to return to a common childhood vacation location.
+While there we spread the ashes of Vehrzheen
+. It was a fitting goodbye - I'll never forget how much fun Vehrzheen and I had on that lake when we were young.
+The picture below was taken by me on the day we scattered her ashes.

+
+<p>
+I'm continuing to enjoy Madison.
+I have started contradancing again.
+I have gotten more serious about weight lifting and fitness as a hobby and have really enjoyed the facilities provided by the University.
+I continue to enjoy living downtown in the hustle and bustle of city life but I may be outgrowing my apartment with stuff.
+May move this fall if I can find a nice place.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Have a fantastic 2016.

+<h2>Winter Solstice Greetings - 2016</h2>
+
+<p>
+Hello to all my friends and family.
+I hope that you are feeling peaceful, cozy, and happy in these winter months.
+It's snowing hard outside as I write this letter to you.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+I'm now in the middle of my 6th year of graduate school.
+I'm still enjoying my time in the Wright group---I hope to be here for a while yet.
+The past year of graduate school has been frustrating in some ways.
+Lots of progress has been made, but I haven't reached the key checkpoints that I hoped to reach.
+I'm looking forward to being a teaching assistant for a graduate-level electronics and instrumentation course next semester.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This summer was busy for me.
+In mid May three college friends (Kate, Nina, and Claire) joined me here in the Midwest.
+We spent a few days exploring Chicago---river tour, museums, food, even a local contradance.
+Pictured below is us outside of Shedd Aquarium.
+We then drove to Madison and spent a few days in Wisconsin.
+Exploring the House on the Rock with Benji was a highlight of the trip for me.

+I was honored to stand as a member of Claire's wedding party on June 24th.
+The wedding took place near Claire's parents in beautiful Napa Valley, California.
+It was a great wedding and I really enjoyed catching up with the Parker, Eckert and Till families.
+It was also great to briefly see the Nielsens---Jim and Tracey were kind enough to loan me a car during my time in California.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+After returning home from California I had just 24 hours before flying to Amsterdam for an academic conference.
+Coherent Multidimensional Spectroscopy (CMDS) is a small biennial conference in my narrow subfield.
+My advisor---John C. Wright---was a founding member of the conference and still sits as chair of the organizing committee.
+This year the conference was held in beautiful historic Groningen, the Netherlands.
+The first molecular photon echo was resolved in Groningen (DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.674">10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.674</a>).
+At the conference I presented a poster on my work to make CMDS instrumentation more reproducible and robust.
+Afterwards I spent five days exploring Europe, traveling to Brussels and Amsterdam.
+Pictured below is me in the famous Grote Markt.
+I didn't really plan anything about my trip, just stepped out of the hotel and started walking.
+Everywhere I went was filled with great food, people, and artwork. Very enjoyable---but I was ready to return to Wisconsin after five days.

+This year I've enjoyed learning more about philosophy, rationality, and psychology.
+Daniel Kahneman's book <it>Thinking, Fast and Slow</it> has changed the way I think about human cognition.
+I'm trying to incorporate these ideas more into my personal behavior.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Have a fantastic 2017. Stay in touch.

Wright---was a founding member of the conference and still sits as chair of the organizing committee. This year the conference was held in beautiful historic Groningen, the Netherlands. The first molecular photon echo was resolved in Groningen (DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.674). At the conference I presented a poster on my work to make CMDS instrumentation more reproducible and robust. Afterwards I spent five days exploring Europe, traveling to Brussels and Amsterdam. Pictured above and left is me in the famous Grote Markt. I didn't really plan anything about my trip, just stepped out of the hotel and started walking. Everywhere I went was filled with great food, people, and artwork. Very enjoyable---but I was ready to return to Wisconsin after five days.
+
+This year I've enjoyed learning more about philosophy, rationality, and psychology. Daniel Kahneman's book \textit{Thinking, Fast and Slow} has changed the way I think about human cognition. I'm trying to incorporate these ideas more into my personal behavior.
+
+Have a fantastic 2017. Stay in touch.
