Shayne - I have been remiss in not telling you how much I'm enjoying this. Of course, I read parts 4-7 today

. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Seriously, I'm with the others in wondering why young Lois would jeoparidize the future - or does she just remember enough to pick game winners? *has flashes of Back to the Future* Does she feel that it's hopeless since she missed out on the DP? Did something happen with Grandma? Her parents? Does she remember everything older Lois does but perhaps see something more that older Lois doesn't? [Don't ask me what by the way] Older Lois doesn't remember what younger Lois is doing - maybe dad is forcing her or something? There's more to it than we think. Maybe because she lost a few days when Lois first arrived and then several more [days? weeks? I forget] when Lois writes for the Star etc. she thinks she's losing it so what does she have to lose?
Anyway, quite intruiging and I can't wait to see where it goes next!!!
