Caleb Curtiss grew up in Champaign.  He still lives there with his wife, Sarah, his dog Eileen (nickname: Floppy, Flopperella, Flopster, Flopper: the ugliest dolphin in the sea) and cat Buffy the Mouse Slayer (nickname: Taco, Fatty, Bufflecat). He likes giving his pets nicknames, and looks forward to having children so he can similarly humiliate them.
