It’s funny to look back and realize that it’s only been a year since Alex and I started playing mahjong with all our friends and just over a year since we bought a record player and started collecting vinyls. In that time, these two interests have become such big hobbies in our lives. It was…

Alex and I spent almost two weeks of September in New York, and we just happened to catch the transition from summer into fall.
