Colorado is Thursday night. Go ahead and send the story - I refuse to go to bed quite yet. I haven't done anything today!

Okay, I'll type a quick summary. BTW, what's your take on "Fire Watch"?

"Fire Watch", IMO, was a little weak, like some of her earlier stuff, but showed her promise. The basic theme of her writing is in there, but more explicitly than in other places (again, IMO, all of Connie Willis' stories are about people, and how individual people matter more than these great events that are happening around them).

I like the story; it didn't grip me the way Doomsday Book does, or entertain me like Bellwether or To Say Nothing of the Dog (which has a little tiny refrence to Fire Watch in it, just a mention of the main character in passing).
