Was going to review this story on ff.net, and was going back to check and see just what I wrote on these comments (since I hate double commenting )... and I learned that I never actually commented on this story! Don't know how that got past me... I guess it must have had something to do with my internet connection... but the blame is solely my own.
LOL! Thanks!

(I also hate double commenting, so I totally get you!)
I actually really liked the idea of lunch with Ellen taking Clark down a peg- too funny! At least we know where Lois gets her sense of dramatics from.

Seriously though! Ellen's kind of a nut that way. Plus, I just thought it would be kind of funny if she just bulldozed down his optimism.
The jumper was a good little side point. Although it actually made me think of a "Mike and Molly" episode I caught the other day (a show I normally don't watch, but I can find anything to procrastinate) which I literally lol'd at.
That quote was just too good! Never heard of that show though...Glad you liked the jumper. I waffled on that part, but ultimately decided that Clark needed that second splash of cold water all over his optimism.
Perfect! We have a new nickname for Clark (when lunkhead doesn't fill the picture)!
Thanks!
