Hi Joe

You say your "superpower" is extreme concentration? My (slightly younger) brother can see infrared heat with his vision - may have helped in his stint in the Reserves, besides watching his coffee cool down from a distance.

I hadn't thought much if I had any "superpowers". At times I think I have at least one form of ESP that's pretty useless, as it involves sometimes 'knowing' something unfortunate is going to happen to me soon. The best I can do is brace myself psychologically, rather than feel dread. For example, on my way to a chess club for several weeks in a row, I suddenly knew as I approached the building that I was going to lose my game that night - didn't matter about the strength of my opponent on a given night.
