Where there's smoke

It's 5:50 a.m., and I just got back in from the sidewalk, where several dozen of my closest friends and I stood shivering in the fog while we waited to see why the fire alarm went off. I did appreciate that John Russial, Becky Hudson, Chris and I all were in ACES-logo T-shirts and sweatshirts. Apparently the fire alarm was limited to one or two floors, which is why there were so few of us out on the sidewalk. And I thought it was so clever to be staying on the 5th floor to be close to the meeting rooms. How early does room service start serving, I wonder??
