- ...chauffeured (then-)Senator Al Gore on one of his early spins on the Information Superhighway;
- ...earned a couple master's degrees, which he uses now and then;
- ...was refused beer (and got arrested) in DeKalb, IL and in Qingdao, China (no incarceration there, thank goodness);
- ...pulled an all-nighter climbing Mt. Fuji, played frisbee on the Great Wall, and saw quetzals in Costa Rica;
- ...works full time as a librarian;
- ...competed against Olympic speed-skaters in Lake Placid, and got whipped;
- ...has been a vegetarian since 1983, and;
- ...stays up very late writing award-winning (and award-nominated but not-always-winning) comics about scientists.
