When I read the pilot 'for Married with Children' it just reminded me of my Uncle Joe... just a self-deprecating kind of guy. He'd come home from work and the wife would maybe say 'I ran over the dog this morning in the driveway'. And he would say 'Fine what's for dinner?
My parents were both from Scotland but had been resident in Lower Canada some time before their marriage which took place in Montreal and in that city I spent most of my life.
