Temporary(?) technical difficulties


A disappointing lapse in super-power.

Today's rain brought the anticipated simultaneous headache. Not fun. But even worse - this time I didn't experience the tell-tale surgical scar itch ahead of time. Why should I endure the headache if I can't rely on predictive powers?

I was at least hoping my brain surgery could help me understand when to avoid wearing suede shoes.

Joan,

Sorry to hear about your (temporary?) loss of superpowers. Perhaps we should expedite the installation of the super-hearing? You are the only person with superpowers that I currently know and I would hate to lose that connection!

On another note, did you see that the Bionic Woman is indeed coming back to TV. Here is a link to a clip if you just can't wait! I'm not sure if I dig the woman that plays Jamie Sommers. Lindsay Wagner still holds a special place in my heart...

Eric -

That's awesome! Very Jack Bauer like, actually. (If she had MY super power, she would have known to wear a rain jacket. I'm just saying.)

I agree - Lindsay was one of a kind, although her star has fallen. Have you seen those Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed infomercials? Only slightly less pathetic than the "make money through real estate" spots starring Officer Poncharelli, Erik Estrada.

Can't find clips, but here is a press release for Lindsay's fall from grace:

And even worse, evidence of Erik's shame spiral. Check the thumbnail photo and "Star of CHiPs" description. He doesn't even make it above the scroll!
