Of all the things I have given my children (bicycles, braces and bald chromosomes) and of all the things I would like to give them (resilience, compassion and an early introduction to Rogaine) nothing seems farther beyond my meager means than the one gift I care to bestow the most:
Roots.
Like many international families, my wife, kids and I have trekked our way through life to the tune of "The Happy Wanderer." Various jobs, schools and houses stretch behind us like a trail of litter from a Japanese tour group.
