L gave me a New Yorker cartoon right after S and I split up that had a man and woman sitting around a living room and the man looks up and asks “Did you ever have that baby you wanted so badly?” – in my Thomas Mann design workshop I incorporated that along with other mementos into a broach that had W at the center but the tag line from that cartoon on the side. <\/p>\n
