the old stand

How many lunches bleeding into dinners have we had at Tout Va Bien? It was just far enough away from work that we likely wouldn't run into anybody from the magazines there—unless we were having a Christmas party in the back room. We only get back once a year or so now. Thank goodness, or Ed couldn't afford it. This occasion was Barbara's and my birthday. The father and son who own and run the restaurant are still there. All the waiters have changed. We, of course, have not changed.
