cereal to note that I actually work at MIT and that if the touring crew stops by at any time during the day I can take them on a little tour.

I brought Tom here through the domed main entrance at 77 Mass Ave, and he stopped and said, in awed tone, "It's a cathedral to science!"

hee. Maybe we should take Nilly to Caltech first, show her it too.

So- Monday night at Tom and Nora's and Tuesday night in Brookline (specific restaurant TBD- but we should D soon, 'cause reservations would be good.)

Works for me. And if Tuesday dinner breaks up early (ha!) I'm fine we reconvening at my place.

OK, cool. A semi plan is formed, everything else will follow.

I bought a cheap little soup pot for Nilly to heat up the kosher matzo ball soup I got. I thought that she could use aluminum foil to cover the cookie sheats to heat up bread and knishes if she likes. She can just take the soup pot with her to your place, Lee, and you can chuck it at the end of her visit. It was only like, 5 bucks.

Cool, Tuesday night in Brookline sounds fun! In the event that I am crazy and decide to come, I will probably arrive around 7:30 or so. Jon, is it still OK for me to crash at your place that night?

Also, I am still in need of a place to stay in New York for the nights of the 27th and the 28th. Any takers? I'm clean and don't take up much space!

Nilly should totally get travelling kosher pots. Or just the one. I wonder if they'll let you take a skillet in carry on?

Nora, there's a Kitchen etc., going out of business in Stoneham (on Rte. 28). It's had the signs up for a while now, but if I get out tonight (hate bringing the kids there, so won't do it today), and there's anything decent left, do you need any new stuff (a pot, a skillet) for Nillyfest? You can consider it an engagement present.

well, we do need a saucier. heh. kidding.

let me think on that. There's a Kitchen's Etc in Fresh Pond too.

Kate, I have a sofa bed you're welcome to, if you don't mind my cat.
