Where We’re Eating<br />
Here’s what the EZ team were chowing on this week<br />
View<br />
RESTAURANT, MARINA & BAR<br />
We are strictly following<br />
New Jersey’s COVID guidelines!<br />
Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or, maybe<br />
even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent<br />
dining establishments. Everything is a little different, but getting<br />
a little less different now that we have outdoor dining. But, in the<br />
interests of the public, we are still getting takeout from our local<br />
restaurants to give you the gastronomic lowdown.<br />
The place: The brand-new Vintage restaurant, nestled in the very<br />
elegant grounds of the very elegant Emlen Physick Estate, Cape May’s<br />
only Victorian house museum and home of Cape May MAC, which<br />
rebranded itself after being known as Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts<br />
and Humanities for four decades. A much more nifty name, to be sure.<br />
The gang: Vintage is operated by the same peeps who are responsible<br />
for, take a breath, George’s Place, YB and Shamone in Cape May, plus<br />
Voted<br />
Scola and another George’s Place in Cape May Court House, or COHO<br />
as the cool kids call it. The miracle is that, despite having all these busy<br />
THE BEST<br />
restaurants, we always manage to bump into the same cool people who<br />
Happy Hour<br />
run these joints — Kate, Nikos, Yianni, Pete etc. We’re not sure how they<br />
do it since successfully cloning human beings isn’t really a thing yet.<br />
in NJ!<br />
The vibe: There is seating inside, but you can see these guys are<br />
hanging their hat on outdoor seating, even without the menace of COVID<br />
hanging over us. And you can’t blame them. Sitting under a tastefully<br />
lit canopy, gazing over gardens and beautiful Victorian architecture is a<br />
Our outside deck is pretty rocking outdoor experience.<br />
The food: We liked the size of the menu — seven starters and six<br />
mains. That might seem minimalist, but they packed a lot of sexy<br />
now open daily!<br />
options in there.Jack ordered, for his starter, Los Pollos Hermanos, which<br />
translates to the “Chicken Brothers” but which is actually a buffalo-baked<br />
9:00am - 10:00 pm<br />
chicken roll. For his main, it had to be Wild Boar Bolognaise because he<br />
can’t resist papardelle pasta, and, let’s face it, wild boar with manchego<br />
cheese is pretty good. Tastier than the much less exciting domestic boar.<br />
Diane chose the Crimson Watermelon and the Sesame-Encrusted Ahi<br />
See our menu on Facebook<br />
The run-in: We chatted with both the aforementioned Nikos<br />
or call 609-884-5444<br />
(Goutzouris) and Pete (Karapanagiotis). Later, Jody Alessandrine, who<br />
took over the helm of Cape May MAC in March, stopped by to say hello<br />
954 OCEAN DRIVE, CAPE MAY<br />
and to tell us the lighthouse was reopening. Good news!<br />
The takeaway: For years, the only eating option at the Physick Estate<br />
609-884-5444 ¯ HarborViewCapeMay.com was a tearoom. Vintage is a seriously sexy upgrade on that.<br />

Ramblings From The Editor<br />
Ideas, idle gossip and occasionally important odds ’n’ ends... by Jack Wright<br />
Growing up in Scotland, and being<br />
treated to a very regular cycle of<br />
horizontal rain and overwhelming<br />
cloudiness, I always (like many of<br />
my fellow Scots, and Brits in general)<br />
got giddily excited by the prospect of eating<br />
outdoors. This only really happened during<br />
trips abroad — for Brits, that typically meant<br />
Spain, Portugal or Greece.<br />
When I moved to the States in 1998,<br />
I loved, more than anything, those balmy<br />
nights eating and drinking at curbside tables<br />
in Manhattan. I’ve never lost that thrill. Which<br />
is why the streets of Cape May right now are a<br />
treat for my Scottish soul.<br />
It’s one of very few silver linings to the<br />
COVID pandemic. And I congratulate the<br />
city councilmembers and city manager for<br />
reacting quickly and imaginatively in helping<br />
restaurant owners to try and reclaim something<br />
from this disastrous year.<br />
Life still generally sucks for store owners,<br />
especially those who are unable to make much<br />
from online sales. But I’m going to concentrate<br />
on the positives. How cool do those<br />
little tents look on Decatur, brimming with<br />
customers from the Mug, Fins and Stewart’s? I<br />
love what the Merion Inn did with their gravel<br />
parking lot, and it’s cool to see tables spread<br />
over the lawn at the Inn of Cape May.<br />
And while it’s great to see outdoor<br />
tables at Carney’s, Nick Filet, The YB and<br />
Taco Caballito Tequileria (love their food, but<br />
dear lord, that 11-syllable name kills me),<br />
those concrete crash barriers and giant yellow<br />
drums aren’t easy on the eyes. I would love<br />
to have seen the city close off that section of<br />
Beach Avenue entirely.<br />
In fact, I’m hoping that councilmembers<br />
are already thinking what I’m sure a lot of us<br />
have been mulling this past week... can we do<br />
something like this every year? It adds a little<br />
European flair and gourmet sophistication to<br />
the streets of Cape May.<br />
Sure, there would be a loss in parking<br />
meter income, but I have no doubt that every<br />
restaurant owner who could add outdoor<br />
seating would happily pay thousands every<br />
year for the privilege.<br />
Speaking of parking, I am a little worried<br />
about how difficult it will be to find spaces in<br />
July and especially August because of these<br />
changes. So I’m wondering if now might be<br />
the time to seriously consider the idea of a<br />
parking garage, while greatly expanding the<br />
opportunity to enjoy outdoor dining in this<br />
wonderful little city by the sea.<br />
I’m off now... to enjoy dinner al fresco!<br />

Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence<br />
What up, homies? If my spirits seem<br />
brighter this week it’s because I<br />
just spent the weekend singing<br />
for live people for the first time<br />
since March 16 and I’m also probably<br />
still drunk from all the Tito’s I had last<br />
night. Ironically, I cannot have potatoes on my<br />
low-carb diet, but I can drink a drink derived<br />
from potatoes because it has low carbs. The<br />
mind boggles. Anyway, I wasn’t real sure how<br />
singing on the ramp was going to go, but it’s<br />
been just great. Except for all that sunshine and<br />
fresh air. Gross. This week the Exit Zero Home<br />
for Wayward Musicians will host Les DeRose,<br />
Gregg Carpenter, Nancy Malcun and The<br />
Honeyhawks before Tim and I (TNT Acoustic)<br />
hog it for the weekend. Swing on by!<br />
When I started writing this stupid column<br />
in 2003 (or 2004, I’m never certain), I got a lot<br />
of angry emails. EZ owner Jack Wright told me,<br />
“Terry, you get so much flack because people<br />
are jealous.” (At least, I think that’s what he said.<br />
With that accent he could have been giving me<br />
a recipe for shepherd’s pie and I wouldn’t know<br />
it.) They’re also not as good (or humble) as me.<br />
As I? Anyway, the same appears to be true of<br />
the Facebook Indignation Squad (admittedly,<br />
it’s a tiny group) and their criticism of our funky<br />
cool gas station tiki bar. We’re sorry, oh mighty<br />
Keyboard Warriors, that you don’t run the hippest<br />
joint in town. If you did, you could do<br />
whatever you wanted with it — chocolate fountain,<br />
limbo contest, torch twirling. Whatever.<br />
We decided to open a cool little spot for food,<br />
drink and live music that 100s of people filtered<br />
through this weekend. So stick it. Also? There’s<br />
THIS IS A TEST.<br />
(MULTIPLE CHOICE.)<br />
1. SHOP IN STORE 2. PORCH SIDE PICK UP 3. FREE Local Delivery<br />
no rule that says you have to come, just know<br />
that everyone who does is better than you.<br />
Once you realize this, things should go easier<br />
for you. Jake.<br />
Karen Update: Apparently part of what set<br />
off last week’s Karen was my reference to our<br />
“hard-working, incredibly attractive staff” on<br />
our Exit Zero voice message. I sort of get it, but<br />
look, I’m not gonna lie to people — we’re all<br />
incredibly attractive.<br />
Sanpelligrino Limonatta is G D delicious.<br />
Also, after just downing three of them, I discovered<br />
they’re super carb-y. Like, bad. This is why<br />
I can’t have nice things… (But if you don’t have<br />
a weight problem, grab some of these bad boys.)<br />
I’ve been fat a long time now, which is<br />
why I feel so dumb it took me this long to discover<br />
pants with drawstrings instead of zippers<br />
and buttons. PANTS WITH DRAWSTRINGS<br />
INSTEAD OF ZIPPERS AND BUTTONS. Out<br />
there… this whole time… and I never knew…<br />
(Bangs forehead into wall repeatedly.)<br />

is filling out nicely. I just kind of<br />
shave from the tragus (the little<br />
flap in your ear that you probably<br />
didn’t know had a name) down<br />
to my jawline and clean up the<br />
neck. I also hit the cheeks because<br />
otherwise 85% of my face would<br />
be beard and I’d look like that cake<br />
guy from Food Network. As for<br />
my weight, after a VERY up-anddown<br />
week that saw me creep back<br />
over 240 (Wednesday I shame ate<br />
an Uncle Bill’s breakfast sandwich<br />
and hosed half a ham-and-cheese<br />
classic and bag of Herr’s before<br />
bed) I was able to course-correct<br />
and weigh in Sunday at 236. That’s<br />
1lb lighter than last week and -16lb<br />
overall. I am doing this for several<br />
reasons — I’d like to live as long as<br />
possible, I’d like to look as good as<br />
possible, but mostly I want to get<br />
lighter than Jack because I know it<br />
will make him feel awful. I am 2.5lb<br />
away from doing just that.<br />
David Walter popped in to the<br />
EZFS gift shop for a magazine the<br />
other day. I said, “Flip to page 21<br />
for a column by our handsome,<br />
young writer, Terry O’Brien.” He<br />
responded, “Young and handsome?<br />
I’d like to meet him some<br />
day.” BAM. Roasted.<br />
Sweetheart of the Week: Ben<br />
Cohen made his eagerly awaited<br />
return to Cape May on Saturday<br />
and handed me an envelope with<br />
a card in it upon which he wrote<br />
some of the nicest things anyone’s<br />
ever said to me (and Tim,<br />
and Cathrine, but mostly me…).<br />
It was full of wit, pathos and, most<br />
importantly, CASH. (The money<br />
was nice, but the words would have<br />
been enough. To be clear, I’m keeping<br />
the money. Love ya, Ben!)<br />
New Best Friend of the Week:<br />
Johnny Rodriguez (along with his<br />
fetching bride, Ashley) spent most<br />
of last weekend at our tiki bar. We<br />
swapped nerd credentials (we<br />
both love Star Trek, comic books<br />
and Orson Scott Card novels) and<br />
my understanding.<br />
There’s no reason anyone on<br />
Earth should care about this, but<br />
we received simultaneous calls<br />
from Copiers Plus last Thursday.<br />
(Listen, this column doesn’t just<br />
write itself…)<br />
Found a station rerunning my<br />
favorite 90s sitcom, Newsradio, an<br />
underappreciated gem that has<br />
aged fairly well. Dave Foley, Maura<br />
Tierney, Joe Rogen, Andy Dick,<br />
Stephen Root… just an amazing<br />
cast. But, like The Office stuck<br />
around too long after Steve Carell<br />
left, Newsradio should have hung<br />
it up when Phil Hartman passed.<br />
So this bad assorange and<br />
black McLaren pulls in for gas last<br />
week. I asked Cary, our gas station<br />
manager, whose car it was. She<br />
says, “Some old white guy.” A few<br />
minutes later a man of about 30<br />
emerged from Sunset Liquors, paid<br />
for his gas and left in the McLaren.<br />
Thirty. “Old.” I suddenly feel very<br />
dusty. (Also, it was apparently<br />
this McLaren that led police on<br />
a high-speed chase down Sunset<br />
Boulevard later that day. Man, I<br />
wish I was that cool…)<br />
Free Advice of the Week: We<br />
here at Exit Zero Filling Station are<br />
currently figuring out, on the fly,<br />
how to run, in essence, our fourth<br />
different restaurant in the last four<br />
months. Ninety-eight percent of<br />
the time this effort is seamless and<br />
unnoticed because our kitchen and<br />
management team do an excellent<br />
job adapting and overcoming.<br />
The ducks who appear calm on<br />
the surface while paddling like hell<br />
below. One percent of the time<br />
we are humans who make human<br />
mistakes. And one percent of the<br />
time shit happens that we can’t<br />
control. But I promise you, no one<br />
wants you to get your food or drink<br />
faster than we do, and if you find<br />
yourself cursing out a server, manager<br />
or owner because you had to<br />
wait longer than anticipated (or<br />
he eventually got up and played a because you ignored our instructions<br />

It seems like if you want to make a movie<br />
these days, it may be good to stay away<br />
from the name Artemis.<br />
Hotel Artemis (2018) stars Jodie<br />
Foster, Jeff Goldblum and a number of<br />
other well-known actors. This should have<br />
been a quirky, fresh, stylish, dark and futuristic<br />
flick. It fell short of that mark.<br />
Foster plays the head nurse at a hotel in<br />
Los Angeles that has been converted with<br />
state-of-the-art medical equipment. The year<br />
is 2028 and the “hotel“ is really meant for<br />
underground crime lords (who must be members).<br />
Our head nurse has a few simple rules<br />
— no weapons, no non-members, and probably<br />
the most interesting rule of all – don’t kill<br />
the other patients.<br />
The premise has great promise. The art<br />
direction is outstanding. The scenes are beautifully<br />
set up and the characters are strange<br />
enough to work. Somehow, in the end, it just<br />
doesn’t hold together. It’s good — you might<br />
not be turned off in the middle — but at the<br />
end you’ll shrug your shoulders and wonder<br />
The Movie Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
how it could’ve been better.<br />
The other Artemis is one from Disney.<br />
Artemis Fowl is a children’s book that I’ve never<br />
read — full disclosure here. This film has a<br />
militant underground fairy Corp. — stay with<br />
me on this — undercover-criminal spies, and<br />
a dome that stops time for everyone under it.<br />
So there is enough confusion to go around.<br />
Dame Judi Dench plays a commander<br />
fairy. She walks around barking orders in full<br />
costume fairy regalia, pointy ears — the whole<br />
bit. You can’t help but think what must be<br />
going on inside of her head. Something along<br />
the lines of “My agent is going to hear from me<br />
about this one!”<br />
No, I don’t read any of the celebrity tabloids<br />
or watch the TV shows to know whether<br />
she wanted to do this movie or not. Colin<br />
Firth is also in this movie. So it’s not without<br />
its star power, but it is without a sense of<br />
direction and clear storytelling either. And<br />
with a budget of nearly $130 million, you kind<br />
of wonder why.<br />
Apparently, if you love the book, you were<br />
disappointed that the movie didn’t stay true.<br />
If you don’t know the book, you’re still somewhat<br />
in the dark as the plot unfolds. And<br />
the MacGuffin in the film — you know, the<br />
movie term for that object everybody’s chasing<br />
down — well they might as well just call<br />
it a MacGuffin. It had that much thought<br />
behind it.<br />
So a couple “Artemis” films to avoid. Not<br />
sure this name will be trending in Hollywood.<br />

The Old Fogey<br />
Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur<br />
OPEN DAILY<br />
BREAKFAST LUNCH DINNER<br />
Reserve a seat for outdoor dining, or order takeaway from your favorite beachside hideaway.<br />
Select from Rusty Nail favorites including our Baja grilled fish tacos, Buffalo chicken wings,<br />
deep fried mac-n-cheese balls, pre-mixed cocktails, and much more.<br />
I<br />
am often asked: “Where do you go on<br />
vacation?” I always respond: “Living in<br />
Cape May IS a vacation!” I follow that<br />
with some good advice, which depends<br />
upon whom I am addressing, but tends<br />
to be along the line of, “Get a haircut and<br />
wear spats!” or, “Button that tunic, laddie!” and<br />
sometimes, “You’re a mess! Leave town!”<br />
But truly, where DOES one go for a break<br />
from Cape May? I do take 14 days’ “anti-cation”<br />
every year, just to give me an added appreciation<br />
for Cape May upon my return. Some years<br />
Young Albert and I board our decommissioned<br />
fast-attack boat The Edge of Reason and motor<br />
up the coast in search of pirates (I say “pirates”,<br />
when I actually mean “anyone we take a dislike<br />
to”) and run them ashore/send them to<br />
the bottom/draw alongside and shout hurtful<br />
things, depending on our mood. Once, we had<br />
a perfectly lovely time sitting just offshore of<br />
Wildwood, snorkeling, sunbathing and shelling.<br />
What’s that? No, no, whyever would I want<br />
seashells? I mean shelling stray Wildwoodians<br />
with the rather nice two-inch gun on the bow.<br />
I have also taken in all of the world’s capitals,<br />
expecting to be awed, but all were disappointing<br />
compared to home. The Forbidden City?<br />
Not a patch on the Admiral Hotel. Edinburgh<br />
Castle? An anthill compared to The Marquis<br />
De Lafayette hotel. The New York Times building?<br />
have they even SEEN the Exit Zero offices?<br />
If so, they would not dare call themselves a<br />
newspaper. And every time, whether I have<br />
returned by motor car, aeroplane, hot air balloon<br />
or in a crate (my expedition to Borneo did<br />
not go well), I have taken a deep breath of sea<br />
air and been glad to be home.<br />
Oh, this city is not perfect, not at all: I have<br />
a love-hate relationship with Shoebies, as you<br />
know (they adore me for my gentlemanly ways<br />
and formal dress, and I despise them all), I am<br />
not at peace with the notion that people should<br />
purchase homes here and then leave them<br />
empty for nine months of the year (I am thinking<br />
of restarting the much-loved-but-troubled<br />
“Wicker Man” festival whereby good fortune<br />
and a fine harvest were guaranted by the sacrifice<br />
of whichever maroon tooted his BMW<br />
horn at me when I was crossing the street).<br />
But for all of Cape May’s faults (I counted<br />
three: two are above, the third is a person reading<br />
this newspaper who knows who he/she is),<br />
I walk the boundaries every day, breathe in the<br />
scent of the sea, and realize that when one tires<br />
of Cape May, one tires of life. This is actually<br />
quite handy, because we take a dim view of<br />
people who are critical of Cape May, and kill<br />
them on the spot.<br />

There’s a reason so many Cape May souvenirs<br />
feature bicycles — the best way<br />
to explore Cape May is by bike. Not<br />
only is the town flat enough for easy<br />
riding, it’s also pretty, and it changes<br />
constantly, so there is always something new<br />
to look at. There’s also something nice about<br />
using a machine associated with the Victorian<br />
era to explore our Victorian town. And, because<br />
most adult bikes are just about six feet long, you<br />
can use them to estimate safe social distance,<br />
which comes in handy these days.<br />
Take a short ride around your hotel’s<br />
neighborhood, or a more ambitious ride out<br />
to Cape May County Park, to Historic Cold<br />
Spring Village for a curbside brewery pickup,<br />
or to the ferry terminal. Plan out a route in<br />
advance, or just drive around and check out<br />
things like construction projects — local contractors<br />
are surely accustomed to a steady<br />
stream of amateur foremen silently assessing<br />
their work. Look at houses for sale and dream<br />
your dreams. Rent a stylish beach cruiser and<br />
ask a friend to do a photo shoot for your social<br />
media. Pick out the stores you’d like to pop into<br />
when the days of popping in return. Soon, there<br />
will be garage sales to scout.<br />
Avoid parking hassles by biking to your<br />
outdoor dining experience or to run errands.<br />
Pick up your books at the library — curbside<br />
pickup is coming soon. Bike to this year’s version<br />
of East Lynne’s “Tales of the Victorians.”<br />
Stories will be told in backyards instead of on<br />
porches, every Thursday at 4 p.m., through<br />
August 13. Reservations are required and attendance<br />
is limited to 10 — call 609-884-5898 or<br />
email eastlynneco@aol.com. Admission is $5<br />
at the “door” and free for guests under 12. Wear<br />
masks and maintain social distance. No food<br />
or drink will be served, but you may bring your<br />
own beverage. No restrooms will be available.<br />
On rainy days, you can listen to the stories on<br />
YouTube.<br />
If you’d like a more organized ride, Curious<br />
Cape May bike tours should reopen soon —<br />
curiouscapemay.com for more information.<br />
The city of Cape May offers a free bike map on<br />
capemaycity.com with information and tips for<br />
bikers — where to rent a bike, and where you<br />
can find a public restroom — they are generally<br />
open from about 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The promenade<br />
is open to bikes from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. —<br />
and if you think you’ll have the place to yourself<br />
at 4, you’re underestimating the energy of the<br />
town’s early birds. Bring your mask and wear<br />
your helmet. Lock your bike whenever you<br />
leave it and please be patient at the crowded<br />
bike racks.<br />

ARIES: You will fall in love this week! (And we don’t just mean with<br />
the crispy fish tacos at Taco Caballito Tequileria.)<br />
TAURUS: You willl take a break from alcohol. Instead, you will discover<br />
a new appreciation for flavored water and prune juice.<br />
quarantine weight!<br />
GEMINI: You will check out David Macomber’s new-ish art studio<br />
• Sit in the cockpit!<br />
on Washington Street. You will find a painting to spruce up that one<br />
• Climb an air-traffic control tower!<br />
sad room in the house ( you know which one we’re talking about and,<br />
• Coast Guard & 9/11 exhibit area<br />
sadly, so do all of your friends).<br />

to say “memes” — it will be a busy week on social media.<br />
Learn about a<br />
LEO: You will at last climb the 199 steps to the top of the reopened<br />

time. Fortunately, that’s not as weird as it sounds since Fins and the<br />

Paul<br />

LIBRA: You will book a trip kayaking in the Pine Barrens in order to<br />

get in touch with nature. You will, instead, get in touch with your need<br />
for air conditioning.<br />
SCORPIO: You will attempt to waterski. You will fail spectacularly.<br />
SAGITTARIUS: You will get The Carpenters’ “Rainy Days and Mondays”<br />
stuck in your head. This will be particularly annoying as it is<br />
Open<br />
neither raining nor is is Monday.<br />
Daily<br />
CAPRICORN: You will run into your ex. Sadly, you will be covered in<br />
10am-4pm<br />
the really messy (though sensationally tasting) sriracha mayo from<br />
the Hot Chick sandwich at Exit Zero Filling Station.<br />
AQUARIUS: You will bike to the Central Park Farm Market with<br />
friends. You will buy produce you don’t even like because it looks so<br />

pretty — cucumbers for everyone!<br />
3845 Bayshore Road<br />

It would be hard to imagine South Jersey<br />
beaches without Laughing Gulls, or<br />
the “Summer Gull,” as they are known<br />
locally. Yet at the beginning of the 20th<br />
Century, Cape May’s beaches were all<br />
but devoid of Laughing Gulls, their maniacal<br />
“Ha-Ha-Ha,” call not even a echo in the memory<br />
of bay men. The birds had been hunted<br />
to near extinction for their feathers and their<br />
eggs collected for the table. In all New Jersey,<br />
there was but a single vestigial colony in the<br />
marshes behind Wildwood.<br />
Despite their reputation for pilfering<br />
French fries, our Summer Gull is an active<br />
forager, not a born klepto. Agile enough to<br />
snap greenhead flies out of the air. This time<br />
of year, most LAGUs are found foraging on the<br />
beaches of Delaware Bay, where they patrol<br />
the water’s edge snapping up free-floating<br />
Horseshoe Crab Eggs.<br />
The other day I sat on a New Jersey beach<br />
and enjoyed the sight of 1000 Laughing Gulls<br />
lining the water’s edge. That colony is the<br />
largest in the world and the gulls deposit their<br />
eggs on floating wrack. Tide comes up, wrack<br />
rises, eggs stay dry. Pretty ingenious. The<br />
problem comes when there is an unusually<br />
high tide and chicks. With young in the water,<br />
adults are frantic, and their cries reach the<br />
level of a din. But the chicks can swim and<br />
judging by the health of today’s gull population,<br />
the gulls have matters well in hand. In<br />
fact, Laughing Gulls are expanding their range<br />
northward. Once uncommon north of Long<br />
Island, the birds are now breeding on islands<br />
off the coast of Maine.<br />
I’m inclined to believe that this northward<br />
expansion was spurred by the over harvest<br />
of horseshoe crab eggs, which led to gulls<br />
searching for another food source. And yes,<br />
I know Laughing Gulls are reviled for their<br />
French fry pilfering predilections. But taking<br />
food from the hands of people is a learned<br />
trick. The gulls do it because some band of the<br />
human spectrum thinks it’s cute to have their<br />
picture taken feeding the gulls.<br />
So, in gull country you mind your fries<br />
or lose them. Every year I get a call from at<br />
least one reporter who wants to discuss “the<br />
gull problem.” To which I reply, “that’s not a<br />
gull problem, that’s a human problem — one<br />
directly linked to our poor food husbandry<br />
practices.”<br />
So, mind your fries and do your part to<br />
keep a good gull from going bad. They’ll repay<br />
your kindness by scoffing up greenheads to<br />
feed their young who are as partial to greenhead<br />
porridge as humans are to French fries.<br />

The Answer Lady invites inquiries<br />
from gentle readers on all manner of<br />
relationship quandaries, matters of<br />
the heart and ethics. Sit back, enjoy<br />
a cup of coffee and contemplate the<br />
wisdom herein:<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I forgot my step-granddaughter’s birthday.<br />
She’s only two, but still. I certainly<br />
remembered her sister’s, which was six days<br />
earlier. How do you think I can make amends?<br />
And of course, I will be persona non grata with<br />
the other grandmothers. Groan!! It makes it<br />
so much worse that they live quite far, and we<br />
have not seen them since Christmas. I must<br />
confess they just are not always on my radar.<br />
— Neglectful Granny<br />
Dear Granny<br />
Well that’s a fine hornet’s nest you made<br />
for yourself. The Answer Lady takes it that you<br />
have yet to pick up the phone and acknowledge<br />
your sin of omission? That is the first step. Since<br />
the child is two, she will be blissfully unaware<br />
of the oversight and you have time before she<br />
turns 20 to make it up. The first thing you need<br />
to do is buy yourself a pretty notebook or journal<br />
at Good Scents and turn it into a birthday<br />
calendar. Back it up with your phone unless you<br />
are still using a flip phone — which the Answer<br />
Lady hopes is not the case. And start practicing<br />
your mea culpas now and make that phone<br />
call before day’s end.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
My wife and I would like to start visiting<br />
restaurants. In fact, our 10th anniversary is<br />
coming up. What would you suggest I buy her<br />
as I want to shop locally? Also, where would<br />
you suggest for a romantic dinner? I’ve also<br />
read that tipping has been a problem. Can you<br />
tell me what the problem is? — Anxious to Get<br />
Out<br />
Dear Anxious<br />
We applaud you for supporting local<br />
businesses. There are many options depending<br />
on taste and pocketbook. Any of Cape<br />
May’s jewelry stores would have something<br />
memorable from Henry’s to Pat Jackson’s. If<br />
you are looking for something retro, try Mary<br />
Ann’s. For dining, Cape May is so fortunate.<br />
Tisha’s has outside seating, as do most of the<br />
restaurants on the Washington Street Mall.<br />
Peter Shields on the east side of town is lovely<br />
and Sapore Italiano on the west end is a good<br />
choice as well. The Answer Lady has heard<br />
there is a delay in servers getting the tip if it is<br />
put on a credit card. We are not sure if this is<br />
accurate, but you cannot go wrong with a cash<br />
tip. Happy anniversary and bon appetit.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />
Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />
BELLA is a five-year-old, 30 lb. bundle of<br />
energy. She loves running in the yard and<br />
enjoys long walks. Bella doesn’t need constant<br />
attention and enjoys having quiet time<br />
to herself. She is uneasy with loud noises and<br />
would be best as the only pet in an active, adult<br />
household. Bella would love to be in a family<br />
that will also continue her training.<br />
MAKING TECHNOLOGY<br />
JUST WORK!<br />
CHARLIE is a very loving, nine-year-old<br />
Chocolate Lab. He has Pulmonary Artery Stenosis<br />
and passes out if overly stimulated, so he<br />
needs a quiet home. Charlie is very calm and<br />
affectionate with all people and car rides are<br />
his favorite activity. He also enjoys relaxing in<br />
the yard and is well-mannered. Charlie needs<br />
a home where he can get the care he requires.<br />
SCARLET is an energetic, young pup who<br />
came to the shelter as a stray. She is working<br />
on her leash manners and learning other<br />
behavioral cues to manage her energy. She<br />
loves chasing balls, squeaky toys and stuffed<br />
toys in the yard. Scarlet would be best if<br />
adopted by an active family with older children<br />
who are willing to continue her training.<br />
