From Outer Space

I'm back from a professional development activity at THE Ohio State University. I was an invited speaker at the Number Theory seminar. It was all good. Gave a talk that went well, got to meet some cool people, got a little bit of research done, but most importantly, I met up with my mathematical brother CZ. It was good to see how he and his wife were doing in their transistion out of grad school. But now I'm back at my home institution with the students and the office hours and the grading and the committees. Sometimes I wish I could live in a fantasy world, but then I think I'd probably get bored there.
