Well, we just keep watching the wheel of life roll and hope it rolls
past without smashing any toes or worse.

My son turns 19 in a couple of weeks.  We are currently residing in
the US although both of us are in Japan for a couple weeks at the
moment.  He primarily identifies himself as Japanese but I would like
for him to keep one foot squarely in the USA as long as possible.  We
were at the embassy last week because I left his US passport on my
desk at home.  While we were chided about him being 18 and relying on
me to bring his passport, no mention was made of any end in sight of
his dual citizen status.  To date, anytime he has travelled he always
has shown immigration at each portal both of his passports thus they
can easily see why he would have no entry stamp from either country.
