I haven't yet read all the stories you posted here today (and thank you for that!), but I've enjoyed the ones I have read, and this one stopped me. The How-Sam-Met-Brady angle isn't unique, but it's rare, and I liked that freshness. Found it interesting, too, that you began by bringing in another old Stanford character-makes sense, of course, but I still enjoyed the intellect of it. Most of all, I appreciated that you managed in very few words to make real!Brady quite, well, real. Thanks!
