Mr. Phil's Paris

Main courses at Vatrouchka.

Last night I booked a table at the Russian restaurant Vatrouchka in Montparnasse for Marti's and my 36th wedding anniversary celebration next Tuesday night.

Thanks, Nick!

Thanks, Ken!

Angelos Frentzos. A Greek designer who may in fact be a distant relative. My mom's family name was Frentzos and, like Angelos, they came from the Arkadia region of the Peloponnese. What's more, I love his menswear! (at 85 Rue Blomet)

Boston 5 - St. Louis 4 in 13 innings!

Today is your day, Mom. You've been gone more than thirteen years but I think about you all the time. You were an inspiration and bottomless source of love to me. Please know I always tried to appreciate that.

Thanks, Wendy! (at Clinique Alleray-Labrouste)
