[Facts] Re: Need help remembering a name
in reply to a message by Ania
Actually, I was born here altho my dad was still a Brit citizen (from Dundee)and mom was a (naturalized) Irish lass. I still have a lot of relatives (aunts, uncles, cousins) in both Angus and Fife.We lived in a comfortingly blue-collar 3-generation Celtic household when I was younger, filled with thick accents, running family feuds, and the stink of blood sausage. Life was good.

That was before my dad's career-enhancing move away from our cultural base when I was 10. Almost overnight, we became transformed into Average Americans (aka Beaver Cleaverdom). How my parents carried off this masquerade, I'll never figure out.
