There were no travel crises today with Team Kuma Bear (and Lisa) other than the neighboring hotel room included a baby that cried a lot, night and day, and another pair of rooms across the hall that seemed to contain several older children who spent the day running back and forth between the rooms yelling a lot. Fortunately, after Lisa came back from running errands and photographing trains during the day, the lack of noise suggested that the people involved had checked out. Working from a flyer in the hotel lobby, Lisa asked me to order her a pizza from a nearby place. It turns out that their version of a Chicago deep dish pizza makes Giordano's look like a thin-and-crispy pie, and it was much bigger than expected. Fortunately, her room has a refrigerator and there is a microwave oven available in the lobby, so she tells me she thinks she now has enough room to last for the rest of her stay.
Because next weekend I expect to be busy, I went to the Wigwam a second time this weekend, going in shortly after they opened at 6 AM and I was only the third customer of the day. It's much more pleasant then than when they are busy. Otherwise, I tried to relax today, because things are apt to get busier soon.
I started tidying up the living room in anticipation of Lisa being home on Thursday morning. I finally took the box of Westercon material back upstairs. It had been sitting in the living room since we came back from Salt Lake City.
