As I said earlier, I grew up in the wilds of a small town in Connecticut. My family consists of my parents, my sister and brother-in-law and of course, me. I come from a very tight-knit family; the kind that goes on summer vacations together, celebrates traditional holidays and pretty much sticks together through thick and thin. Sure, we have our moments of irritation, exasperation and wonderment as to how we all ended up in the same family pod, but really, what family doesn't? And now, without further adieu, the family bios:
Name:
John T. Keegan Alias: Dad Status: Gainfully Retired Life Story: Recently acquired premier membership into the "RCOL" (Retired Club of Leisure). He spent 39.5 years as leading mob boss-turned-CIA agent, Johnny K. or a.k.a. "Special K". His connections with other leading "working" families gave him the notorious reputation that he continues to carry today. His stint with the CIA has given him status-worthy credibility and the luxury of receiving first-class service wherever he goes. That, or his preceding reputation has since forced those to react and serve out of pure fear.
Name:
Julie H. Keegan Alias: Mom Status: Respectfully Employed Life Story: After cavorting around Europe as a world-renowned chef and wine connoisseur, Julie settled back into her New England roots. She started her own restaurant in a small but thriving Connecticut town. There she had her first encounter with Special K. It so happened he not only fell in love with her cooking expertise that day, but also with her. The two relocated to a coastal town in Maine, where they opened a shore-side restaurant. She continues to run it today, taking care of the cooking business, while John remains the more silent partner.
Name:
Meara Keegan Zaheer Alias: Sistah Sledge Status: Otherwise Occupied Life Story: Having escaped Special K's insistence of taking over the family "business" due to irreconcilable political differences, MkZ sought comfort in a small town outside of Bordeaux, France. Having realized early on that using a hairbrush as a microphone would not gain her rock-star status, MkZ successfully mastered a coup of serving only the finest choice wines at clubs and bars along the Eastern seaboard. She managed to oust the service of beers and mixed drinks, and in an epiphany-esque moment, realized her true calling. She and husband, Asim, packed up and moved to a villa outside of Bordeaux, where they now run a thriving grape farm and produce only the finest wines. On the grounds of this same villa during off-season of grape growth, the two run a quaint bed and breakfast overlooking the vineyards and allowing visitors to tour the wineries.
Name:
Asim Zaheer Alias: Ace Status: Retired 0-3 Sky Striker Pilot; Current information: Classified Life Story: Formerly an 0-3 Sky Striker pilot, Asim has chosen the quieter side of life by assisting wife, Meara, in the wineries of their villa. This, however, remains a cover for his other "activities" for which details remain strictly classified. Let's just say his marriage to Meara came at an appropriately convenient time for Special K. His major task, however, has been primary chef of the bed and breakfast. He is exceptionally good at inventing new recipes and has received nothing but rave reviews for his culinary talents. Some of his more popular dishes have been featured in such publications such as Food and Wine, Cooking Today! and Bon Appetit.
