Remember the Quantum Leap series? It was a Belisarius TV show that had a great run of several seasons. The intro started off: Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished .... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home. Lisa writes that she often get emails and packages where she exclaims - much like Sam - "Oh, boy." She felt that way recently after hearing another request to volunteer as the lead for an upcoming project, sandwiched between two other major events. She says it got her rewriting her own Quantum Leap voice-over (courtesy of Lisa): Theorizing that one could be a single-parent during a military member’s deployment, Lisa Bass stepped into the Deployment Accelerator and went astray .... She woke to find herself trapped in a world that doesn’t understand the reservist’s life, facing problems that never materialized before, and driven by an unknown force that challenges every ounce of her sanity. Her only companions on this journey are Eric and Ethan, kids with their own unique coping skills, who appear in different forms of cooperation and moods that only Lisa can guess. And so Lisa Bass finds herself leaping from day to day, striving to put right anything that goes wrong and hoping each time that her next leap will be into the arms of her military spouse when he comes home.
