Dedication

This book is dedicated to my grandmother, Caqui, and my parents, Miriam and Ralph, as an admittedly insufficient token of my gratitude for a lifetime of love, generosity, and encouragement. Together, you colored my formative years awash in childhood riches, and, as a grown man, I continue to strike gold with every passing year. Your selfless support has allowed my wildest dreams, and those of my own young family, to take flight.
