-<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.

-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.

-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.

-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.

-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.
