I will likely teach the introductory astronomy course in
September as a Sessional Lecturer....
I'm looking forward to a pleasant
retirement with a course to teach (introductory astronomy) in the
fall and, perhaps, the physics of music in the spring. I will be
Professor Emeritus on my retirement, and the Chairman just asked
me if, since I was going to be around, I would be advisor to the
physics majors for the next year.
The only thing that bothers me is that almost every
other kind of employment is protected from age discrimination. We
professors have been singled out (in a Supreme Court decision, no
less) for special exemption from this protection in our Charter
of Rights and Freedoms, a pale imitation of your Bill of Rights.
