Tim had an enormous writing deadline crushing upon him, and couldn't get away to take her. He called to see when Joss would be on set so she could meet him, but then that weekend the deadlines became monumental, and he had to cancel the visit.

Aw, bummer. But she got Tim visitage (plus YOU and THE Kristen), so that was nice.

My mother was bottled water!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steph's mother really gets around.

Just back from Shalom Hunan, where a pleasant-enough dinner was had -- I wouldn't call it the best-ever Chinese food I've had, but it was better than some, particular Panda Express. :-)

(Unfortunately, two of my favorite appetizers -- hot and sour soup, and fried dumplings -- were made with beef here.... aaaaargh!)

As for the company it couldn't have been better. I didn't get enough time with Lilty, but I did get to drive Matt and Nilly over to Brookline (and then lead poor Ed through the byways of Brookline as I tried to remember how exactly to get to Brookline Village).

But to make up for that, we got street parking like two doors down from the restaurant -- and in fact, we spotted the restaurant by me first recognizing Jon's car, then recognizing the group of Buffistas standing outside the actual restaurant door! Hurrah for dead reckoning!

Pretty much got in the door from the Nilly-dinner myself. Not enough time - simple as that. It was sublime meeting Nilly and Lilty, but I really wish I'd made the party. Large group dinners are great with people you've already met, but they're not so good for meeting people.

I did get a bit of extra time to talk to Lilty because we both had to book it to North Station. Dinneristas, I mainly checked in to let all you know that Lilty made her train. She only had 5 minutes to spare, and we had to walk from Gov. Ctr. as it was, so it's good we took off when we did.

Anyway, I had a great time, but wish it could have been longer, or I could have joined for an after dinner social event. Ah well, maybe next time.

Oh, and what everyone's been saying about Nilly? So true.

Gourmet grocery, lots of kosher. Upper West Side institution.

Also, I'd like to add, my wife's favorite place on Earth. Seriously.

Oh, and what everyone's been saying about Nilly? So true.

That she's an undercover agent for the Cobra Commander? Yeah, we knew that. (:

Nilly totally rocks.

Also, I'd like to add, my wife's favorite place on Earth. Seriously.

Well, sure, that's why you guys are here all the time ::cough:: fifteen blocks away.

Awww, man, I had just gotten my sleepy butt halfway though a detailed description of my extremely wonderful day, and then my finger slipped and I deleted it. I want so badly to tell all about it, but I think I'm just too groggy to do it now.

In any case, I'm home safe, sound, and very happy, and I'll tell stories tommorrow. Good night!

Catching up and enjoying all the enthusing about Nilly-meeting, and nodding a bit wistfully.

Am home. Details in LJ. Somebody--anybody on the east coast--before Nilly leaves US shores, give her a hug from me and tell her I'm glad I had the chance to spend some time with her. I'm sure that won't be a hardship. And thank you.
