My dissertation defense on June 8, 2023 was successful. I must say that it was a great way to end sixty or so years of academic effort–a lot of it, not so successful. Lorena and I drove up to Lincoln from Texas, while Christian flew out from Boston to join us. We hung out with very good friends, ate really good food, and just had a stellar time. Today, the revised dissertation was submitted to the publishing service, I signed up for walking in the graduation ceremony (December 15, 2023) and purchased my cap, gown, and hood. Looking forward to the ceremony and celebration! Now all I need to do is figure out what to do next.
