Those are very well written stories. I enjoyed both Blind Date and the Founding Father's stories. It's been a while so I can't remember everything about each story but I remember enough to know I enjoyed them both.

My memory tells me that one of the Golden Era editors, John W. Campbell, or Hugo Gernsbach, pushed his authors to write science fiction stories by changing just one thing. Don't go building a whole new world, that will be too much for readers and will not sell. Pick a single scientific wonder and follow the human consequences.

I've read your story, and I'm thinking that "Blink Date" is right in the center of the Science fiction tradition. I've spent the last hour hunting for a quote to back up my recollection. I couldn't find one. I had to ask a friend, a science fiction buff who would certainly know. Whoops! My memory is just making things up. Oh well, I will just get spooked by my memory playing tricks in the context of just having read "Blind Date".
