Jammiest couple ever

we have the delightful S&S staying with us right now. I have to say, they are the JAMMIEST pair ever. when the boys visited, it took them a couple of hours to get through immigration. my boss took around 2.5. S&S landed at 6.20pm and were at our apartment in Manhattan by 7.30pm.

 unfortunately for them they have had to live in squalor, as we had planned on tidying whilst they were queuing. then, they were able to book a table at Please Don't Tell, the speakeasy that led us to ruin when my mother-in-law came to visit. (we weren't able to get a reservation so ended up on the waiting list and drinking for about four hours on an empty stomach.)

then today, they entered the lottery for Book of Mormon and were the first names out of the hat. this is an incredible feat. I know a girl that entered it five times before getting tickets. bear in mind that the cheapest tickets are $180 with a restricted view. the lottery tickets are $32 each! as I said, jammiest couple alive.

lastly, I've been remiss in documenting my food exploits so for you, Ms James, the last few days I've eaten matzo ball soup and pastrami sandwich at Katz's deli; dim sum at mandarin court; and street tacos at Mercadito. highlights? pastrami at Katz's; pork belly and orange taco; tilapia and avocado taco. mmmmmm hungry now...
