Making a few adjustments at the molecular level... there, got it.
      
Strange Talents — Writing also as James Conrad (without my middle initial), I have had articles published about, and conducted laboratory research in, quantum physics (in the area of psychokinesis research) and have witnessed parapsychological phenomena in real life that are usually only found in the pages of science fiction. That is me on the left with the curly hair in 1956 and on the right, in my telekinesis laboratory in 2001.

 Post-credits scene 



Grab the camera. He's doing it again!! Connecticut, 1956, age 1 plus. Is this the photographic evidence that proves once and for all the strange childhood talent of psychokinetic plank stretching told in ancient stories? Do you doubt? (Not a telepathy test, but I knew what you were just thinking.)

To Stretch a Plank: A Survey of Psychokinesis by Diana Robinson, 1981, 277 pages. Meaning  of title. (I am not in this book, but have exchanged emails with the author.)


Wearing my T-shirt for "Camp Xavier," a summer camp for gifted child mutants (possibly). Photo taken outside my home, age 7, 1962. That's "Kitty" the cat (really). At least that's what she tol--oops, not supposed to mention the talking part; sorry Professor. My parents are in the background to my right. Don't ask.

A hollow science fiction-themed display case that I constructed in 1978 in the basement workshop of my Connecticut home at age 23. Later it was donated to a youth museum in another state where, unfortunately, it was not roped off to protect it. Inquisitive groups of school children do like to press and kick things that look like fake rocks. Current whereabouts are unknown. Possibly it is deep underground in a landfill chamber somewhere awaiting the beam down of a starship captain.


Age 8, 1963. Red clothing, a fireplace, and a wide-eyed look. Beware the stare that will paralyze the will of the world.

1976. Red clothing, a fiery place, and a wide-eyed look. If only they knew she had the power.

A place where lights appeared late at night and things landed. A plant with red flowers grows in the middle of a paved intersection on a long-forgotten wilderness road. Photo: James A. Conrad, March 26, 2002
