I see Erik is already starting the next iteration of this blog from San Antonio, so I will keep this brief. I judge this to be a successful Midwinter. Seattle is nearly ideal as a Midwinter site, with all the hotels in walking distance of the Convention Center, the weather consistently over freezing, and plenty of shops of restaurants to keep up everyone’s fortitude. Even though “programs” are forbidden at Midwinter and there is only supposed to be committee business going on, you can see from everyone’s entries how much programming slips in. “Discussion groups” are programs of the first order and no one seems to mind. It’s on to Minneapolis for me and then to Greensboro with arrival at 10:42 pm. Wish me luck!
