It's not easy getting around to writing in here once at home and back to my regular routines. Except for a 3-day STLHE conference in Saskatoon mid-June, I have been mostly sticking close to home since returning from NB. I've been busy, busy though... watching the mosquitos grow in number and size as I wait for the rain to stop falling; wrenching my back while planting flowers and cleaning pine cones off the deck; going to a chiropractor for shock wave therapy and other sorted painful treatments for my plantar fasciitis; attending my stepson, Aaron's high school graduation; putting in my two cents worth at Riders' training camp; meeting with my interns to get ready for our (virtual and real) work together this coming fall; listening to my friend Paul talk Art and I into visiting him in China next June (which just so happens to be around the same time that two key mathematics education conferences are being held in that part of the world); studying my SSHRC application very carefully to decide if it's worth submitting again this year; and the list goes on. But it's all taking place in my own backyard...
While I do not have ground-breaking news to share (
and so why write, you might ask), this entry is an important one. Today is officially the last day of my six-month sabbatical... and what a six months it has been! No need for a retrospective review entry though. This blog has 33 entries to convey all the events of the sabbatical journey. And I still have one more official sabbatical event: the Mathematics Education and Contemporary Theory (MECT) conference in Manchester in July. So stay tuned for stories of that event... it will most certainly be a grand finale!
