I see you most mornings, and I think you've seen me too. I know how crazy this will sound, but I know exactly what our baby would look like.

  13. I read about your work on NPR.org. It's so insightful of you to have recognized the absolute treasure that the Missed Connections ads were as creative inspiration. The quoted ads and your drawings remind me of that old Hemingway story: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." These tiny fragments of someone's experience suggest a whole world. Wonderful.

  26. I had an idea tonight to make illustrations of Missed Connections posts, and right after I thought of this, I looked it up on Google to see if anyone had thought of doing it already. I am relieved that I do not need to do it now, because there is absolutely NO ONE, who could have done it better than you have. you really nail them.

  27. A Kyrgyz hat! Yes! An aid worker friend of mine brought me one from Kyrgyzstan. We walked down the street in the East Village, and all of the Ukrainian laundromat workers (from different laundromats!) came running out-- they had lived in Tajikistan and Kyrzstan and other -stans before coming to the US....
