Journeyman is to Quantum Leap!
Let's review the facts.
NBC owns Quantum Leap and Journeyman.
The show by show outline is the same. Man goes back in time, man saves other human.
In Quantum Leap, Sam's quantum project is being shutdown as a failure. To save his funding Sam test's his work on himself prematurely and starts jumping from one person to the next. Each time with partial amnesia.
Now It's a bit early to say only having seen two episodes and all but I have a theory.

The Real World
Submitted by Harmon Wood on Mon, 2007-09-10 22:14.So, I have a blog. Well I've had a blog for a while, a long while. What have I done with it? Nothing. I have had some, well, issues with the idea of a blog. Do to the extremely overpopulated “Blog Sphere” of whiny babies. However, I have arrived at my own conclusions on the matter. A blog can be an incredible opportunity to share my wisdom and experience with others. Plus nobody looks at this thing anyways :)
Frilled shark
Submitted by Harmon Wood on Thu, 2007-01-25 16:18.There has been an awesome sighting of a frilled shark in tokyo. Being very sick, the shark ventured to shallow waters away from it's 1000m habitat to die.
Several sightings of dead Chlamydoselachus anguineus( aka. frilled shark), have been known to happen, however it is a very rare thing to see one alive.
The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, moved the shark from the ocean to a controlled tank, until it's death.
Here, is footage of the shark in captivity

Why is it cold in Texas?
Submitted by Harmon Wood on Tue, 2007-01-16 16:59.I had a deal with Cold!
If I did not move out of Texas he would not move in. Texas was there and she said that as long as cold stayed out, she would try to keep it a cool 92 degrees.
So why has cold broken the deal?

California
Submitted by Harmon Wood on Tue, 2006-11-14 22:54.Well, I’m back from California… Granted I was only gone for three day’s but hey, it was fun.
I got there late on thursday night and David(an old friend from my college day’s) picked me up and we chilled and talked about old times for most of the night. That was fun.
On Friday morning my first thought was, “Holy crap it’s a mountain.”
The rest of the time I spent doing random things with my Mother.
The weather does not seem to far off from texas weather, hot, sand storms, sparse rain. But, it is dryer out there and also gets cold at night. I’m not sure if I’m up for dry cold nights. I like the texas nights.
