Café Havana is very nicely decorated. The staff is adorable, the parking plentiful and the food, as it finally turned out, delicious. But, where, on God s green earth, can one go to order dinner and then wait for 2 hours for it to be served? Café Havana, of course. Where did they go - Cuba? Thankfully, we are a mature bunch and were quite civil about it, enjoying the conversation and the friendships we ve made throughout the years. And, of course, that s the real reason we get together anyway. When things don t go the way we expect them to, the glass can always be half full. A hearty thank you to Kathyann Peccia for hosting it...howard
