“What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child?”

— Lin Yutang

I am a patriotic American because of the Nathan's hot dogs—as well as the pizza, the knishes, and the egg rolls—I ate as a kid in Brooklyn.

Lovely. You’ve nailed something special, in a meaningful way. My family moved six times before I left for college, and at least that many times in the years following. #s 2 & 4 were the Long Island north shore town of Port Washington, ages 3 to 10 and 13 to 15, and I still have friends from those times, as well as from Freeport, on the south shore, ages 11 to 14. The song says “anywhere I hang my hat is home,” and the other song says “darlin’ be home soon,” and the other is. “I can’t find my way home.” All of them meaning home is not a location, it’s where the heart resides.

Wondering how it feels for you to live in Canada. Are you a citizen?
