The Characters

Abby Wife, mom and therapist--for Abby, there just aren't enough hours in a day. Nonetheless, Abby manages to make it all work out--at least, so far. The well-being of Abby's family is of the utmost importance to her, but then again, so is her career. As a result, she finds herself worrying at work about whether her kids are enrolled in enough activities and wondering at home if the clients she sees at her group practice, Heads Up Mental Health Care, are insane or just neurotic. It's a lot to deal with, but Abby tries to cultivate inner tranquility and peace of mind. So far, she isn't sure she's experienced either, but Abby's not the kind to give up.

Len Between being Abby's husband, Colin and Carly's dad and co-owner of business, Leadfoot Couriers, Inc., Len has his hands full. Whether he's coaching his Carly's soccer team, debriefing Abby after she gets home from work or trying to hire delivery drivers who don't have unduly long police records, Len takes what life throws at him with sarcastic good humor. It's an attitude you might expect from someone who used to play in a punk rock band called The Pinkeyes. Len still regards himself, not unreasonably, as the hippest guy in his suburb, and stays true to his rock and roll roots by playing on the weekends with his current band, Midlife Crisis.   Home
