Basic Info| Name: | Brother Rail Gun of Quiet Reflection |

BioBorn 1960 in the stately town of Keokuk, Iowa. Subsequently lived in Quincy IL, Shawnee Mission KS, Woodridge IL (twice), Peoria IL, St. Louis MO, Plano TX before actually spending four years in one place--Eastern Illinois University in scenic Charleston, IL.
Upon graduation I joined up with the Missouri Pacific Railroad in St. Louis (and on my first day was told "Welcome--by the way, we've just been bought by Union Pacific so you'll probably be moving to Omaha in a few years"...a prediction that took about 22 years to come true). I work on a web billing application that mixes both my old mainframe skills and my burgeoning Java, UNIX and SQL abilities to odd effect. Ah well, it's a living.
Met The Redhead at a Doctor Who fan club meeting in 1983 and managed to drive her crazy enough that she agreed to marry me in 1985. La Shelberina joined the family in 1992. Sadly, they're still in St. Louis while I'm stuck in Sunny Omaha (damn the benefits! damn the railroad retirement! damn the pension! damm my greed!).
We've had two dogs (Vila The Wonder Dane and Elisa--both sadly deceased) and six cats (Corey, Nyssa and Tommy are deceased, while Misato-chan, Saki and Rakka are with us now).
I'm interested in everything and anything and am a dangerous man at bookstores. Also dangerous at home repairs--tools and lefties don't mix very well in general!
BTW...I do have a filter which I use for my Ultraman-related fanfiction. If you're interested in seeing it, email me and I'll add you on.
