Three months post in Pasadena, back to Dallas, Pasadena again, home to NZ for Christmas, new position in Maryland.
“I’m working very hard and enormously enjoying being surrounded by eminent astronomers and astrophysicists. This is a very prestigious place, of course, owing to the two hundred inch and one hundred inch telescopes. Lunch times are very fruitful. The astronomy department has a big table at the faculty club, where the food is excellent and inexpensive, but overlooked in the conversations. I’ll be going back to Dallas with enough ideas to last for years, not to mention many good new friends.”
