954 OCEAN DRIVE, CAPE MAY ¯ 609-884-5444 ¯ HARBORVIEWCAPEMAY.COM 

Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or, 

maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s 

excellent dining establishments. Everything is totally different 

on the food landscape these days, but in the interests of 

the public, we are still venturing out there and enjoying the 

victuals provided by local eateries. 

The place: Lucky Bones Backwater Grille. 

The vibe: Casual, family-friendly and high quality. One visit and 

it’s obvious why this is a local fave... any time of year. 

The trivia: In the 1800s, for good luck before heading out to sea, 

fishermen would wear the hook-like claw — AKA the lucky bone — 

of a male horseshoe crab around their necks. If you don’t know what 

a horseshoe crab is, take a walk on Higbee Beach, on the northwest 

tip of the island, any time around May and June and you’ll likely see 

around 400-500 of them marooned. Tip: Gently flip them over and 

watch as they slowly make their way back to the Delaware Bay. It’s a 

pretty cool phenomenon. 

The options: Takeout, delivery or outdoor dining under a lighted 

tent (complete with Lil’s socially distant bar) with a view of the Spicer 

Creek Channel. Because this was a rainy, lazy night, we opted for the 

delivery option, and we were glad we did — the delivery driver was 

prompt, efficient and super-friendly. He arrived only a couple minutes 

after the estimated time on the Lucky Bones delivery portal. 

Quite the difference from the ill-fated time we tried to order sandwiches 

for the office from Wawa, and waited two hours before the 

corder canceled itself. Note to self: Avoid Doordash and Grubhub. 

The meal: The new Roman-style Grandma’s Pie, a thick square 

pizza topped with San Marzano tomato sauce, basil, roasted garlic 

and freshly shredded mozzarella. We also added pepperoni, mushrooms 

and red onion. Perfect mix of doughy and crispy. 

The standy-by: We’d be remiss if we did not also mention the 

Cuban-spice pork chop, another fabulous Lucky Bones meal we’ve 

ordered oh, say, 712 times. 

The hot tip: Lucky Bones offers a loyalty program that allows you 

to rack up points which can be turned into credit for future meals. 

The consensus: Pizza is always a good idea. Especially if it’s coming 

from the LB.

Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence 


Matt, Betsy 

Sean Taylor 

Can you believe it’s September? And can 

you believe that every September we 

say can you believe it’s September? I 

can’t believe it. Fall brings with it cooler 

evenings, bronze sunsets and mosquitoes 

the size of Shetland ponies. One flew past 

me the other night with a dog in its mouth. 

My acoustic music concern, TNT (Terry & 

Tim or Tim & Terry depending on whom you 

ask) had the privilege of playing at Exit Zero 

Filling Station over Labor Day weekend (we’re 

there every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 530) 

and it was amazing to watch the wait staff, hosts 

and kitchen deal with such huge masses with 

such aplomb. Same goes for the fine folks across 

the street at Black Duck and Viggiano’s. Please, 

if you’re getting frustrated by the wait for your 

table or the line for your drink, consider how 

hard these bastards have been working the last 

five months and just breath. I promise, they’re 

all trying their hardest to accommodate you. 

But especially, if I’m serving you, be nice to me, 

because I’m not as nice as them and I will yell 

back at you. I’ve got seven jobs, I can lose one. 

Thank you, Brady Schoenrock and 

Harpoon’s on the Bay for hosting TNT on 

Mondays this summer. We had a great time and, 

more importantly, you paid us to be there! (But 

seriously, we appreciate it and hope to be back 

next year assuming an asteroid doesn’t obliterate 

us which, frankly, feels like 2020 has been 

building up to.) Tim and I continue on alternate 

Mondays at Beach Shack until October 8, 

assuming, still, no asteroid. 

Am I the only one who has to mow his 

driveway? 

Weekly Weight Watch: After touching 223 

on Tuesday for my yearly low (Tuesday always 

seems to be my lightest day, no idea why, probably 

because I’m dehydrated from a weekend of 

singing and partying like a rock star), I clocked 

in Sunday morning at 224.5. I was probably 

legit closer to 223, but I’d just fired down two 

cans of Diet Sunkist after mowing the lawn 

(see my Facebook for my series of glistening 

portraits… if you dare). Yes, there is such a thing 

as Diet Sunkist. Yes, it is delicious. Anyway, 

this is the lightest (if you can call it that) I’ve 

been since 2013, when I dipped under 210, but 

that season ended in the back of an ambulance 

getting a shot to reset my heart rate. Super fun. 

But at least I get to tell the story of showing up 

in the ER and the nurse yelling, “What the hell 

happened to him? I thought he was a cardio!” 

because I was in full Ghost Ship zombie costume 

and make-up. 

Anyway, by this time next week, if everything 

goes according to Hoyle ( yeesh, the old 

man phrases really come out after you turn 50… 

next I’ll talk about the Spalding Guide and saying 

everything’s Jake, although that one is pretty

The Movie Column 

By arts columnist Tom Sims 

Traveling changes us in ways that only 

seeing new places can — so is there 

hope during a pandemic? How can 

you breathe the fresh air in a new 

country halfway around the world 

when you can’t even go to the Acme without a 

mask? Well, there’s a channel that will scratch 

that itch for you! 

But before going there, as anybody been to 

a theater since restrictions from the pandemic 

eased? They’ve been opening, not everywhere... 

but opening. I haven’t ventured out 

yet. I see a lot of new films being promoted as 

“in theater and on demand.” The on-demand 

pricing is… well… a little demanding. 

I plan to review Mulan and Bill and Ted Face 

the Music. If anyone has seen either of these 

two — or any film — and has something to 

say about it, write me at tomhsims@aol.com! 

Your comments may be published here. 

Meantime, one place I did find on the 

Disney+ channel is the National Geographic 

section. It is packed with choices. There are 

television series, movies, Vets and Pets, science 

innovation programs, ancient mystery 

specials and more. 

There’s one section, called Exploring Our 

World, featuring sometimes quirky shows. 

The World According to Jeff Goldblum is hosted 

by, well I’ll let you guess. He takes one subject 

at a time (mundane topics, like sneakers and 

ice cream) and explores them in depth. I saw 

a couple, but I haven’t been back to see more. 

I plan catch the Bear Grylls on the channel — 

well, all I can stand to watch before he starts 

eating zebras. 

What does have me fascinated on the 

National Geographic channel is the Wild 

Series. I won’t travel too far anytime soon, but 

my next adventure is just a few clicks away. 

These specials are mesmerizing and beautifully 

shot. They take you to lands you may not 

get to see for a long time — or anytime. Some 

locations are so remote I’m never visiting. 

Wild Sri Lanka takes you from plains to 

forests to the depths of the ocean. You’ll meet 

giants in those waters, unique monkeys in the 

trees, and an unusual “king of the jungle!” The 

cinematography is stunning, and the storytelling 

through real footage lifts you for a few 

minutes away from miserable news stories 

that sometimes depict the worst in our human 

species. 

Whether it’s a trip to the shore or a trip 

away from it, travel changes us. Horizons 

are stretched, and perspectives forever broadened. 

Don’t give in to fear, frustration, resentment 

or self-pity. Take an adventure instead.

9/4: Fat Mezz At Rootstock At Hawk Haven Vineyard 

The Old Fogey 

Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur 

Fat Mezz Band 


Ah, Prohibition. I remember not being 

too alarmed when it came into force, 

as the D’Catur Mansion always has 

some 3,000 bottles of finest Scotch 

laid down in the cellar. It’s enough 

to last a year, maybe 18 months if I give up my 

nightcap, which I have only done in times of 

direst emergency, such as when we expected 

a Nazi attack and had a blackout. 

This night, I tried to find and pour my 

whisky in the darkness but miscounted the 

number of steps I knew would take me from 

the master bedroom to the Drinks Room 

— out of bed, 59 steps to the door, turn left, 

300 steps to the staircase, 192 steps down, 

then first right. A short 500 steps across the 

hallway then another 254 through the Trophy 

Room. From there, a 45-degree turn and 398 

steps diagonally across to the decanter. Sadly, 

my post-dinner tipple was a touch strong and 

I fear I turned only 43 degrees at the last stage, 

bringing me not to the drinks trolley but to 

Mrs D’s gardening cart, where it would seem 

I poured myself a generous measure of extrastrong 

liquid fertilizer and downed it in one. I 

did think the taste unusual, but the kick was 

substantial and I wobbled back to bed. Only 

when morning came did I find my hair and 

beard had grown by 30 feet and my toenails 

were curved like bobsleigh runners. 

Once my staff had trimmed me free, I put 

two and two together and from then on added 

a few drops of the stuff to a marked decanter 

when we had guests we were not too keen on. 

But I was peeved on behalf of my countrymen’s 

constitutional right to bear a hangover, 

and so organized what was the East 

Coast’s largest supply line of booze. 

We of course ran a few fast ships back 

and forth to distract the navy cutters, but our 

main supplies came in through a cast-iron 

pipeline that allowed ships to dock at a harmless 

little “rock” three miles off the coast and 

have the beer pumped onto land. 

At its peak, we had 3,000 gallons an hour 

coming ashore. Things went awry one day 

when we had a high-pressure blowout on 

the lawn in front of Congress Hall, and a 

100-foot-high geyser of beer erupted. 

In the panic to stop the f low before the 

coastguard spotted it, a young lad shut the 

valve off completely, causing some 10 million 

gallons of finest beer to vent into the old 

unused waterpipes under Cape May. 

It has stayed there to this day, fermenting, 

building pressure, until one unlucky 

poke with a garden spade, or one ill-chosen 

excavator shovel, and we will all be propelled 

upwards with the force of a yeasty 

atom bomb.

a large lot or a couple of containers, gardening 

is good for you. Doctors in the UK have “prescribed” 

gardening as a treatment for anxiety 

for years, noting gardens promote connections 

to nature and neighbors, and increase consumption 

of fresh produce. Before you plant, 

you have to plan, and a walk through Cape May

native plants, which do well with little attention. 

Add a mix of corn, zucchini, and lima 

beans for homemade succotash. Be bold — any

Bird Droppings 

Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu 

Well, we’re in the thick of it now. 

September is warbler month. 

Members of the effervescent 

New World bird family 

migrate through Cape May en 

route to wintering grounds in 

the West Indies, Mexico and Central America. 

Breeding for the most part in the boreal forests 

of Canada, Cape May is an important waystation 

along the great Pan-American highway. 

When Alexander Wilson was studying 

in these parts in the early 1800s, he did not 

realize that he found a whole new family 

group — comprised of 56 species, not all of 

which pass through Cape May — not represented 

in the Old World. He mistakenly 

called these nimble, active, brightly colored 

birds “flycatchers.” To see the warblers, visit 

Higbee Beach or the Beanery, but my favorite 

location is the small wooded plot next to the 

Northwood Center at 701 East Lake Drive, 

Cape May Point. Binoculars are a must — you 

need a wide field of view, good depth of field 

and close focus down to at least six feet. 

Forget what you may have heard about 

“the confusing fall warblers.” Yes, many species 

are not as brightly colored as they are 

in the Spring, but most retain a vestige of 

their breeding pattern. Adult-male American 

Redstarts still flash red panels — juveniles, 

yellow to orange. Magnolia Warblers still 

flash white tail panels and Yellow Warblers 

are still yellow. 

A good place to search for Cape May’s 

namesake bird is the cedars just north of the 

hawk-watch platform at Cape May Point State 

Park. There you can also rely on local experts 

to guide you along. Field guides? It’s hard to 

beat The Sibley Guide to Birds — written in Cape 

May Point by North America’s premier birder. 

New birders are well served by the Kaufman 

Guide to Birds of North America, a guide written 

with beginners in mind. Also, don’t overlook 

The Warbler Guide by local author Scott Whittle. 

Come October, the waves of migrating 

warblers will be gone. We’ll be down to 

Yellow-rumped Warblers which are engaging 

enough and will be here through the winter. 

Come the next cold front, rise early, head for 

the sunny side of the woods, out of the wind 

and watch the show. Warblers are insect eaters. 

Insect activity will be greatest where the 

sun falls and the wind doesn’t penetrate. If it 

turns warm, seek out wet, shaded woodlands. 

Enjoy the show. It’s fall in the Bird 

Watching Capital of North America. Millions 

of birders would give anything to be where you 

are, right now.

The Answer Lady invites inquiries 

from gentle readers on all manner of 

relationship quandaries, matters of 

the heart and ethics. Sit back, enjoy 

a cup of coffee and contemplate the 

wisdom herein: 

Dear Answer Lady 

I have always been very close to my 

11-year-old granddaughter. I took her everywhere 

and spent as much time as I could 

with her because of her parent’s work schedules. 

Since the COVID onset however, she has 

grown very distant from me. I was hospitalized 

with it early on and truly thought I was not going 

to make it. Thankfully, I am in my 50s and 

have recovered, but she shows no inclination 

to want to be around me. It breaks my heart. I 

wonder if you have any suggestions to help me 

bring her back. — Too Socially Distant 

Dear Distant 

She probably thought she was going to lose 

you forever and is frightened by the prospect of 

that loss. Small steps are in order. The Answer 

Lady is a big believer in the healing power of 

The Answer Lady 

Wise answers to perplexing questions 

milkshakes and suggests a trip to Dellas 5 & 

10’s soda fountain. Also, check the Cape May 

Bird Observatory’s website and see what bird 

outings are coming up — it is fall. The raptors 

and the monarch butterflies should be in full 

swing, circling our island. At some point, you 

might want to broach the subject of your illness 

and assure her that, yes, one day you will not be 

there for her, but today you are both well and 

happy — rejoice in that. 

Dear Answer Lady 

My girlfriends told me to write you. We 

often get together on weekends — never more 

than 15 or 20 of us and usually in someone’s 

backyard. One girl, who summers here, is 

constantly telling us how much she loves her 

boyfriend, but then starts flirting with us — 

and it doesn’t stop there. She seems quick to 

hook up with me in particular. I don’t like it and 

don’t want her around. I have a girlfriend who 

can’t always come to the parties. She knows 

that but keeps it up. I don’t want to cause 

drama, but how do I get rid of her? — Plagued 

Dear Plagued 

The Answer Lady hates to state the obvious, 

but how about staying home one weekend? 

Second, Labor Day has come and gone, and 

your summer pest will soon be as well. Third, 

have a gathering somewhere unexpected. It 

may not always work but could serve as a signal 

to her. Lastly, tell her how you feel about her 

behavior and walk away. You need to go on a 

shopping spree to rid yourself of the bad juju. 

Galvanic is the ticket. 


Bank whenever you want.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal 

Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923 

PICO is an active boy who loves to be with 

people. He loves to run around the yard but 

quickly returns to his human for a brief pat. 

He has excellent leash skills and enjoys long 

walks. Pico lived with children in his previous 

home and is very affectionate. He would do 

best in an active household with a family willing 

to continue his training. 

ICE is a sweet, seven-year-old lady. She came 

to the shelter when her owner died and no 

one could care for her. She loves catching and 

chasing frisbees in the yard and playing fetch. 

Ice has excellent leash skills and enjoys long 

walks. She is also housetrained and great with 

other cats. Ice would be the perfect companion 

for an active family. 

ROCCO is a sensitive and sweet boy who 

came to the shelter when his owners could no 

longer care for him. He was an outside dog and 

is adjusting to an inside kennel at the shelter. 

Rocco has great leash skills but gets confused 

when something is thrown for him to fetch — 

he never learned to play with toys. He would 

be best in a patient home with older children.
