From Mariam

Mariam is spending a few years in Kazakhstan fighting for democracy. I miss her terribly.

She has some thoughts on the baby gender issue.

love your blog! write more.

tell baby i say hi.

and my two cents -- don't find out the sex. it
doesn't matter. it'll be cool to find out on
birth day. do it the way people used to. they
knew better.

miss you,
