Reply: Item #5046303 from URTH at LISTS.BEST.COM@INET# Patrick, Pneumonia is bad--here's hoping for a speedy recovery for your wife. Reading Gene Wolfe stuff is good--might even encourage the natural healing process (it can certainly keep one in bed all day). I'm glad you're liking these notes on "Tracking Song." Thanks to alga for bringing it up--I hadn't re-read it in years and never done even a quick analysis of it. So while I knew "The Changeling" by name, I only vaguely remembered "Tracking Song" and paired it with another "this is a recorded log" story featuring robot (narrator) and nature, which is "Eyebem," I think ("Eyebem" in ENDANGERED SPECIES and ORBIT 7, fwiw). =mantis=
