Only two more parts? Wow! These folks are going to be busy for the next two chapters.

My favorite part was the image of Superman pleading with his mother to put away the baby and toddler pictures. Martha took a picture of Clark using the potty the first time? Hysterical! And Lois's focus on the pictures was priceless! Superman, the most powerful being on Earth, reduced to complete helplessness by two women with a photo album! I think I pulled a rib muscle laughing.

But the A-plot is moving along well. I suspect that someone's going to figure out where Lois is and threaten her, maybe even put her in the hospital before Clark can rescue her. Or, maybe Clark will be threatened by Kryptonite and Lois will rescue him. That might be even more appropriate for this story.

Love the story. Sorry that real life is attacking you, but I understand. Your family has first call on your time, so take care of them first. We'll wait.

We'll probably nag a lot, though.
