Linda Deneroff, Lisa, and I drove to Perkins Family Restaurant this morning for a better-value breakfast than the hotel buffet. (The hotel puts what Lisa calls a "cheese-like substance" on the eggs, which neither Lisa nor I like.) It looks like it is close enough that we can walk there by walking in the bike lanes that flank the roads (there are no sidewalks), so we probably will have breakfast there again tomorrow.
Linda opened Site Selection from 10 AM to Noon, then closed it so we could do a panel and then have lunch. She reopened Site Selection at 2 PM.
Today was the first full day of Westercon (yesterday didn't start until Noon), which by the terms of the Westercon Bylaws meant that there needed to be a program item for the benefit of bids. There being just the one write-in bid, we combined this with the more general topic of the Future of Westercon.

Site Selection voting closed for this year as of 6 PM. Linda and I went back to her room and counted the ballots. The results were no surprise, which was a relief to me, and will be officially announced at the Business Meeting on Saturday morning.
Martin Pyne, Linda Deneroff, Mike Willmoth, Lisa Hayes, and I went to an Asian restaurant across the street from the WinCo Foods where I took Linda yesterday morning. I found this a good value meal, and it was a real pleasure to dine out with friends with no time pressure, as none of us had responsibilities this evening now that Site Selection is finished.
Martin, Lisa, and I went over to WinCo after dinner and got a few more groceries. As Lisa and I are driving, the non-perishable items that are left over when we leave Utah can just go home with us.

Then it was back to the hotel, where I settled down to upload photos and write about our day. Tomorrow, our fifst responsibility is the Westercon Business Meeting, which is scheduled for 11 AM. As there should not be any significant issues with Site Selection, our only business on the agenda is the ratification of the bylaw amendments first passed last year, followed by new business, if there is any. While I prepared a draft proposal due to what I though might be a plan to trigger a wind-down of Westercon, I'm unsure whether anyone is actually going to introduce it.
I hope to sleep well tonight, as for the first time in several years, we do not expect a controversial site selection that needs to be adjudicated by the Business Meeting.
