September: final versions of papers, course prep, Auckland, and Japan

Mostly in Wellington except for a weekend in Auckland and a week in Tokyo (the start of a busy travel month). Finalizing papers, reviewing course notes.

August: Camera-ready month, and some weekend trips

Routine month with work finalizing accepted papers and trips to Rotorua and the Catlins, as well as helping with a Snowcraft course at Whakapapa.

July: A walk on the Old Ghost Road and a visit to Melbourne and Cairns, plus a workshop paper submission

Travels continued with another tramp on the South Island and a trip to Australia. Research continues with a submission to HATRA and revisions of our paper on race freedom verification.

June: an accept, two rejects, another paper submission, and a South Island walk

Some work, though mostly waiting and advising and not paper writing. More than half the month on the road, in Tasmania and on the South Island (again, not Cascade Saddle, but we did go on a boat in Doubtful Sound.)

April: Whanganui Journey, three papers submitted, and a trip to Tasmania

Another new place: Tasmania (recommended!). Between the two trips, I did a bunch of work, which I hope will pay off: three paper submissions. Just life as usual.

Trip report: refereeing in Abbotsford, Edmonton, and a quick trip to Toronto/Waterloo

March has two Canadian circuit judo tournaments: Pacific International and Edmonton International. I also stopped by Waterloo for two days and took care of some business.
