    My ancestry is irrelevant. My thoughts and actions make me who I am.

    Mom's side - Mother 100% Scottish born in Scotland. Father, mostly Kraut, born in Brooklyn.

    Dad's side - Mother mostly of Dutch ancestry. Father, well, we weren't on the Mayflower, but we were on one of the next boats:

    Ted, serious question...

    When your family gets together, do you call yourselves "Wolfs" or "Wolves"?

    (Thinks of LOTR and "Proudfoots" vs. "Proudfeet")
