What do you mean, we're out of coffee?
That's a joke, right?

This is a recent photograph, November 1994.
Actually, I look a lot like this, but better
looking.

I am not a Mad Scientist!
I am a Severely Upset Scientist!

OK, one more.
July 2001.
Cincinnati, Ohio (Don't Ask)
Just don't tell my wife she's on the web!

The only thing wrong with Woody Allen's
movies is his pervasive optimism.

Okay, so I'm incredibly vain! It's my only vice, except for:

Smoking
Being married to a Lawyer
Staying up very late every night
Reading Science Fiction
Putting off my procrastination until tomorrow
Watching Science Fiction movies
Working out at odd times and hours -- a lot!
Eating dead cow exclusively...
Favorite vegetable: COW. Ever try to talk to one?
Writing Science Fiction, and never finishing it
Thinking up new insults for The Disciples of Rush
Registered Republican, but voting Democrat lately
Treating my dog like an only child

Edison, the Wonderdog!

Note:
|Edison Tesla Caplinger
|
|Born: September 20, 1985.
|Edison, beloved companion and pet died peacefully on December 1, 1999.
|His favorite sports were squirrel chasing, tennis ball chasing, sock stealing,
|walking, gardening, and last, but not least, fetching a stick and keeping it
|away from humans.
|He faithfully performed his duties as supervisor, watchdog, and playmate.
|No terrorists ever snuck up on us or ice cream was wasted while he was on duty.
|
|He brought us great joy, and we shall miss him.
|

At any rate, this site will grow. Slowly.
Can I help it, if I have to put a wrap to a new
software package before the end of the year?
Sheesh, it can't be the admission price I'm charging you....

My favorite phrase, that I may actually have said first:

We'll burn that bridge when we come to it.
