Our third NYC trip together, July 2007, was the year we first visited the Shanghai Cafe in Chinatown. As you can see by Kevin’s perfect expression above, some of the food’s a little hot. :P Sure, none of the people who work there speak much English; they only bring you a fork if you ask [...]
As you can see, I was very pregnant by the time our second trip to NYC rolled around. Just two months later, our Atticus was born. :) The picture’s bad, taken with a cell phone, and recaptured by my Droid tonight from a print. (What happened to those files?!) Here are some things we remember [...]

It was Wednesday night, July 21st of last year, during our annual NYC pilgrimage. We’d just left Zinc Bar on West 3rd, where we got to know (part-time) bartender and photographer Jacob Murphy while the Alex Stein/Matt Brown Quintet played.
