Mitali West, August 1999

I tried to scan this photo the other night, but it didn't work - serendipitously, my mother e-mailed me a copy of it this morning - thanks, Mommy.  If I'm remembering right, my father took this photo on the day before my 37th birthday, in August 1999, at Mitali West, an Indian restaurant that used to be in the West Village.  It was the first time my parents met Jerry.  The necklace I'm wearing is three amber heart-shaped charms that Jerry had given me a while before.  The happy smiles are courtesy of being in love.
