Unexpected Side Effects pt 12
Against a foe I can myself defend,-/But Heaven protect me from a blundering friend!
D'Arcy W. Thompson
Doktor Frogg took another sip of coffee. It was starting to turn cold and would need a refill to heat it up a bit. He set the mug down, deciding not to break his stride as he poured over the data from the last session with Alison. He also had been reviewing data from months back, charting the progress, making absolutely sure that no detail was missed.
After checking and double checking he rose from his computer desk, picked up his mug and headed for the kitchen.
Voltar and Red were on the living room sofa watchi

Drugs are for losers, and hypnosis is for losers with big, weird eyebrows.
Philip J. Fry, Futurama
Frogg paid and tipped the taxi driver, then made his way across the brown, dead lawn to the Lair's front door.
All he wanted to do was to go straight to his room and catch some more shut eye. He didn't sleep well the night before. He kept waking up to go check on Alison throughout the night. When he left her, she was still sleeping. He had left her a note on her coffee table to call him and let him know how she was doing.
It was still early. Hopefully the others weren't up yet. As he reached for the Lair's front do

Mistakes are the inevitable lot of mankind.
Sir George Jessel
It felt kind of strange for Frogg to be working alone in the university lab. He was so used to Garcia and Lizowski's company that the room seemed too empty, lonely even. It couldn't be helped though. The work he was busy with had to be done in secret. He was programming the psionic enhancer to test its mind controlling capabilities.
The last adjustment he'd made to the unit was to install tiny headphones into it. He accomplished that task while Garcia and Lizowski were chatting up Alison the last time they worked with him. They were so busy in their conver

Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Frogg inspected Lizowski and Garcia's prototype for an invention they'd been working on themselves. It was a re-designed athletic shoe, or boot base that increased balance and stability while decreasing risk of injury to the foot, ankle, and even the knees.
His assistants had been using it for snow-boarding and hockey, but the benefits could apply to other athletic activities as well.
Frogg had tried them on, and walked about in them, but declined to try the new footwear on Lizowski's skateboard. "I'll pass," he told them. "I've never really been

No woman ever falls in love with a man unless she has a better opinion of him than he deserves.
Ed Howe
Doktor Frogg never really considered himself a morning-person, but he usually would come wide awake and alert from slumber. This morning he woke slowly; turning, dozing, shifting his weight and dozing off again. He heard a bumping sound coming from another room and opened his eyes.
Even though he was severely nearsighted he could tell that he wasn't on the roll-out bed in his lab, or on the sofa in the Lair's living room either. He felt startled for a split second from waking in an unfamiliar place, then the memori

Life is what happens to you, while you're busy making other plans.
John Lennon
Doktor Frogg stood before the painting, his eyes wide, his mouth hanging open. Except for the slight shaking of his extended finger pointed at the artwork, he was still as a statue.
"Don't look at it," said Alison. There was no response. She put her arm around his shoulder and could feel that he was trembling all over.
"Frank, get away from there." She realized that he wasn't hearing her. She stepped between the scientist and the painting and placed her hands on each side of his head. Turning his face away from the canvas and toward h
