I wonder how many of us used Google yesterday.  That odd-looking logo is in homage to the Great Les Paul, on his Birthday.  Les devoted a lifetime to the design and perfection of the guitar and its music.  I guess in one way or another we all end up devoting our lives to something; a book, our children, the other dent on the pillow, our garden, golf (!)    I think that it is vital that we all have something that provides sustanence, the fuel that we need to move ahead.  I find this at Havana Road in odd little things.  I happen to delight in watering the plants (my Mother called it 'water playing' when I was a kid)  I love to prepare for Happy Hour, even when I slice my index finger instead of the limes.  I delight in talking to Diners who have enjoyed our food.
 There is something special about the twelve individuals who make a living by working together at Havana Road.  To see where they are going, where they put their money, is sometimes as if I were there too.  Ashley spends time in the Appalachian wilderness.  Kate and Danni study dance.  Ray, who truly has a talent for food, spends his off time in the Marine Reserves.  All of the Havana Road Human Resource lives lives of willful expression.  They all move forward, sometimes, it seems, not sure where the next rock is out in the pond, as they jump of the one that they are on.  I wait for the splash.
