Chris

Your underwhelming narrator. New York born, grew up in a small town in north Florida. A graduate of Columbia High School and the University of Georgia. Chris has a Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Missouri and did post-doctoral research at the second best university in the world. Now resides deep in the southern suburbs of Adelaide, Australia. He works as a writer for a biotechnology company and a lecturer at one of Adelaide’s universities. Chris is passionate about music, politics, science and the Georgia Bulldogs and is likely to rattle on at length about any of those topics.

sinead_castDr. O’C

Dr. O’C was born in Ireland, but raised in beautiful Adelaide, Australia. As you may guess from her nom de plume, Dr. O’C is also a doctor holding a Ph.D. in Genetics. She did a post-doc at the University of Missouri where she had the good fortune to meet your hero. She works in research commercialization for one of Adelaide’s universities, though the imminent arrival of Baby #2 will put a temporary kaibash on that. Dr. O’C enjoys shopping, chocolate, and Australian soap operas.

zach_cast2Boy Z

Boy Z was born in September of 2007 in Oxford, England. He’s a big, burly, beautiful boy – the apple of his parents’ eyes. He shares his middle name with his paternal grandfather. He’s a world traveler and the holder of three different passports. He’s a walking genetics tutorial – with the good looks of his Mother and the fierce intellect and compassion of his father. Or something like that anyway. Actually, both probably come from his mother.  Boy Z enjoys chasing wildlife, riding Siberian huskies, cricket, watching the Georgia Bulldogs with his father and full scale destruction. He’s showing an inexplicable proficiency with a footy. I fear we’ll be spending far too many rainy Saturdays watching him be assaulted on a football pitch.

notmaxNot Max

Actually, briefly Max. A Free Family’s second boy, born in September 2009. Still in a bit of shock after coming to a world dominated by his two year old brother. Counting on the fact that, as Version 2, he will be bigger and stronger than Version 1.

Timmins

The dog. Timmins is a six year old Siberian Husky. Like your narrator, an American expatriate, Timmins enjoys running, stalking sheep and catching and killing the occasional item of  wildlife. His dislikes include swans and cats. Timmins is perhaps the only dog in the world to have lived on three different continents.
