I spent a couple days at home before attending the American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in San Francisco. At the end of the trip I went out to Castleton State College in Vermont for an interview for an analytical/environmental chemist faculty position. Thanks to everyone at home for a great time and some great Christmas presents. I hope everyone liked their salmon and halibut smorgasbord along with homemade syrups and jams.
The interview went well and I will be starting as a faculty member at Castleton starting next fall. Unfortunately, we will have less than 8 months to do all we can in Juneau before the 4000 mile ride back across the country. I'm sure Stout will like that!
It has been cold and dry in Juneau lately. Not the best alpine skiing but the nordic skiing and views in general have been great. Other highlights included the lunar eclipse, which occurred around 930pm here, so we didn't have to stay up late (or wake up early), and the winter solstice. It may not seem like a big deal down south, but the winter solstice is a big deal on most people's calendars up here. LONGER DAYS!!

| It is too bright and only about 8 degrees |

| We cut down a Christmas tree out behind the house and Hillary decorated it like an expert |
 |
| At least he isn't biting the tree ... |

| Don't worry you got Christmas presents too! |
