My birthday isn't until tomorrow, but the extended celebration period got off to a good start last evening when my good friend Andrea treated me to dinner at the French restaurant "1886" at the Winter Palace Hotel.
A wonderful evening and only the beginning of a marathon of partying! Thanks, Andrea!
