The Answer Lady 

Wise answers to perplexing questions 

The Answer Lady invites inquiries from 

gentle readers on all manner of relationship 

quandaries, matters of the 

heart and ethics. If you’d like to send 

a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Or, 

simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate 

the wisdom herein. 

Dear Answer Lady 

I’m in my mid-40s and decided that I do not 

want to be “linked in.” I know I sound old and 

inflexible, but I don’t want to be on Facebook. 

I own a flip phone that I rarely use. I have tech 

skills for work so I can use zoom for meetings 

and email to work with my colleagues. I do not 

text, message or FaceTime and this has been a 

source of irritation with my colleagues but not 

my boss. I am tired of apologizing for this conscious 

decision and wonder if you have some 

magic phrase I can use to shut my critics up? 

— Tech Rebel 

Dear Rebel 

The Answer Lady would remind your 

colleagues that you have one responsibility 

and that is to do your job to best of your ability 

which you seem to be doing. You might also 

tell them that your days are far more pleasant 

and nights far more comfortable without a 

smart phone attached to your derriere 24-7. 

Who knows, they might emulate your behavior. 

In the meantime, give yourself a break. The 

Answer Lady thinks it is time for a trip to Chez 

Michel for a tasty French treat. 

Dear Answer Lady 

I adopted a puppy last winter when COVID 

restrictions were first imposed and at the same 

time started working from home instead of 

going into the office. I went back to the office 

March 1 full time. I have been with Mr. Peanut 

night and day for nearly a year and I’m worried 

he’ll have separation anxiety. What can I do to 

alleviate it? I did ask if I could bring Mr. Peanut 

to work and my boss laughed, which I took for a 

no. — Worried Dog Mom 

Dear Worried 

Girl, it sounds like you have separation 

anxiety. Institute a program where you both 

retrain yourselves a la Pavlov — the Russian 

psychologist known primarily for his work 

with conditioning therapy in dogs, but it works 

with people too. Leave the house every day for 

one hour, then two and work up to six hours. 

Be strong and do something fun. Lunch at 

Lucky Bones or shopping on the Washington 

Street Mall. On a warmer day, sit outside at 

Harbor View Restaurant and look at the boats 

whilst enjoying a cocktail. When you get home, 

reward Mr. Peanut with a nice walk and oneon-one 

time. Breathe. Mr. Peanut will survive.

CAPE MAY BREWERY 

Friday, September 17 

ARGENTINA WINES 

Friday, October 15 

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: Fins Bar and Grille — the large, navy building on the 

corner of Carpenters Lane and Decatur Street. 

The vibe: It was a calm afternoon at Fins but a delightful experience 

when we ran inside to grab our food. Music played throughout 

the dining room, laughs were shared, and everyone seemed genuinely 

happy to be there. The uplifting atmosphere was both inviting and 

refreshing after the last few dreary days we’ve had in Cape May. 

The crew: Cassidy and Kenny have been with Fins since day one 

and a new Fins server Bobby Jo recently came back into the restaurant 

business. They told us how much they miss the friendly faces of their 

local bar crowd and can’t wait for things to return to normal. Everyone 

is actually looking forward to the summer parking battle along 

the Washington Street Mall. 

The summer set up: Thankfully, most of the outdoor-dining 

setups for local restaurants creatively introduced last year will stick 

around another summer. Fins’ dining tent along Decatur Street will 

remain open and they will offer limited indoor dining as they are 

allowed along with takeout. 

The food: Jack wasted no time deciding what he’d like and went 

with the Mediterranean salad and, as always, added some grilled 

chicken. The season of Lent has begun — no meat for Nicole on Fridays 

until Easter — so she opted for the fish tacos. Cathrine went with 

the same. They were both surprised to find French fries came with 

their lunch. We had no idea so we consider it a healthy-ish lunch — it 

wouldn’t be right to waste them... 

The takeaway: It’s looking like Cape May will have an exciting 

summer that is just as safe and accommodating as the last. Despite 

the challenges we’ve faced, the crew at Fins remains positive and 

excited to get back to long days, longer nights and the great people 

who keep them running all season long. Fins is currently open 

Wednesday through Monday for takeout and limited indoor dining.



Undertow 

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

Welcome to March of 2021, a year 

that so far has me looking back 

on the calm stability of 2020 with 

gauzy nostalgia. It’s nearly spring 

which means only one thing — 

Karen Mirabile season. Karen is my accountant 

and delivers tax miracles unto me every 

year. If you like your accountant, you can keep 

your accountant, but you should definitely 

switch over to Karen at Cape Bookkeeping. For 

every new client I refer, she guarantees another 

$10,000 in my return and can do the same for 

you! (Promises made in previous sentences may 

not be real, but Karen is great.) 

Weekly Beard & Weight Watch: The problem 

with writing my column on Saturdays 

instead of Sunday is that I tend to have a few 

(5) adult beverages at my TNT gig at Exit Zero 

Filling Station and indulge in a little rock star 

debauchery at Wawa or Chen’s Garden, wherever 

Tim steers us on our way home. (Yes, 

we carpool. Yes, Wawa burgers are legit.) This 

tends to skew the numbers when I step on the 

scale, so what had been a “feeling pretty good 

about myself” 237.5 on Wednesday became a 

“WHY TERRY! WHY ARE YOU SO FAT AND 

STUPID!” 238.5 on Saturday. This may have 

been accompanied by some tears and the wagging 

of an angry finger in the mirror. Okay, that’s 

an over-dramatization. I was bummed, but I 

am, in fact, in a very good state of mind. As I told 

EZFS neighbor David Dee, who, along with wife 

Fay, always asks after my well-being, I’ve got 

Undertow to keep me accountable to you, the 

most intelligent, discerning, best looking readers 

on Earth. The beard? Eh. I’ll give it another 

week or two and see how I feel. It’s possible I’m 

just not a beard guy. 

Speaking of the best readers in the world, 

Jim Faulkner, wife Lisa and daughter Hannah 

popped in to EZFS for some dinner and TNT, but 

this paragraph is about Jim, who buried me in 

such effusive praise about my singing and writing 

that he is now the clubhouse leader in the 

World’s Friendliest Stalker Open. (Wendy and 

Randy Redelico, you better get back down here 

and shower me with praise and cash…) Jim is a 

lovely man with a lovely family. I’m just not used 

to people being nice to me. I married an Italian. 

Then there’s Kevin and Janet Perusing of 

Oakland NJ, simply one of the nicest couples I’ve 

encountered in my days as the “T” half of “TNT”. 

He’s always ready with a smile and a handshake, 

she lights up every room she enters. Which is 

why it pains me so to make fun of them, because 

as polished as they seem, on the inside they are 

dirty, pinko, commie Grateful Dead hippies 

Thank you, Alyssa! (Last name unknown, 

her dinner receipt just said “V”.) I WILL continue 

saying what I want (or at least as much 

as I can slip past my editor) for as long as I

can. I sometimes worry about the 

Cancel Crowd hunting me down, 

then I remember I’m not important 

enough to cancel. Yet. 

Unsuspecting Person of the 

Week: My Thursday magazine 

delivery routine finds me at Avalon 

Bagel in North Cape May with 

about a half-dozen stops left, so 

I order some delicious breakfast 

sandwiches (my go-to: pork roll, 

egg and cheese on a whole wheat 

everything, my carb load for the 

week) and Joanie McCullen, who 

calls me “hon,” making her my 

new best friend (sorry, Tish), was 

trusting enough to give her name 

to this bald, ink-stained stranger 

finishing up his delivery route. If a 

bald, ink-stained stranger on his 

delivery route asks you for your 

name, I wouldn’t give it. 

Customer Service of the Week: 

I called Cape Winds Florist for a 

last-minute flower arrangement 

for Cathrine’s birthday last weekend 

(um, please don’t tell Cathrine 

it was last-minute) and I was TOO 

LATE! THEY WERE CLOSED! But, 

possibly sensing the fear and desperation 

in my voice, they stayed 

on site long enough for me to save 

my marriage with a beautiful collection 

of daisies she absolutely 

loved. Thank you, Cape Winds 

Florist. 

I began watching Mr. Mercedes 

on the recommendation of EZFS 

bartender Gordon Sterling, whom 

I love, but whom I now wish to 

poke with a sharp stick. Sometime 

during the Bush years, Stephen 

King lost his goddamn mind and 

has been unable to craft a story that 

is not rife with lazy stereotypes. 

And seeing the great Brendan 

Gleeson in an American network 

drama this poor makes me sad. 

Damn you, Gordon. Damn you to 

hell. (Update: Unsurprisingly, this 

miserable show was developed by 

David E. Kelley, the genius behind 

Big Sky, which I hate more than 

the ’86 Celtics. Big Sky will now be 

roasted in every column this year. 

I hope it gets three more seasons.) 

If you’re reading this on 

Thursday, March 4, publication 

day, you have three days to get me 

a birthday present. If you’re reading 

this AFTER March 4, well, you 

better hurry your ass up. In lieu 

of gifts, you can send sweet, cold, 

hard cash to my PayPal or Venmo. 

They’re both under terryoke1. Terry 

O’ke… remember that guy? If I’d 

known how that name would 

come to haunt me… I should have 

called myself something generic 

like Karaoke Guy, but no, I had to 

be clever… “Here Lies Terry O’ke. 

The Dumbest Smart Guy That Ever 

Lived. 1970-2022.” 

Sibling of the Week: My sister 

Erin recently visited and her 

husband Larry requested a Peter 

Frampton song. My late brother 

Greg idolized Frampton; looked 

like him, sang like him, played guitar 

like him, maintained a 28-inch 

waist like him (bastard). As you 

know, I’m an emotional guy and 

have trouble getting through songs 

like “Chicken Fried” without shedding 

a tear, but I somehow managed 

to squeak “Baby I Love Your 

Way” without cracking as I sang 

my dead brother’s favorite song for 

my sister. It was later, during the 

Avett Bros’ beautiful “Murder in 

the City”, which is about fathers 

and brothers and family and, well, 

Tim Joyce earned his keep carrying 

me through that song. (I’m a crybaby, 

yes, but I defy you to listen to 

that song without getting misty.) 

Anyway, great seeing you, sis! 

Come again when you can’t stay 

so long. (I’m kidding, of course. 

I love seeing my siblings. Except 

Mike. I’m a little sick of that guy. 

And Chris, who’s gone a little crazy 

since Trump. And Dan, who never 

joins my bands when I ask him. 

But… where was I going with this?) 

Lastly this week, it appears 

that Larry Crinkle might be making 

a comeback! I don’t want to say 

too much for fear of jinxing it, but... 

watch this space. We’ll know more 

in about a month, but since Larry 

has a very devoted fan base here 

in Cape May (right?), I thought I’d 

share. 

’Til next week, don’t get caught 

in The Undertow.

FEED OUR FRIENDS 

Sammy Downes of Exit Zero Filling Station delivered a meal earlier this week to Lori, Scott and Madison Nuttall and Kelsey Lewis as part of our FEED OUR 

FRIENDS program. They have not been able to dine out since the pandemic began due to a family member being high risk. Lori’s sister Dana thought the family 

would love to have a meal from their favorite restaurant delivered to them. They enjoyed lobster and shrimp mac and cheese, buffalo and sticky Thai wings, buffalo 

cauli bites, chopper salad with salmon, chicken fingers and peanut butter pie. Mom and dad washed it down with a Wicked Watermelon and the Cuke. 

Do you know someone who you’d like to nominate? It could be someone who has been a great volunteer and community servant, or someone who just needs a 

break. The ONLY way to nominate someone is to write to info@exitzero.com with FEED OUR FRIENDS in the subject line. Give us the name, address and cell number. 

Plus a sentence on why they deserve it. We will do the rest! PLEASE NOTE: We need to restrict this to the Cape Mays and the Villas. No further north, please.

Let me take you back to 1981. I was a 

freshman at a Catholic high school 

in Philadelphia. Our English teacher 

tells us to choose a topic for a public 

presentation. The topic I selected 

was “History of American Slang.” What can 

I say? I had recently gotten a new book, The 

Dictionary of American Slang, and I thought the 

topic would be interesting. Yes, I was that 

nerd who bought dictionaries with my paper 

route money. That and Little Debbies. Don’t 

judge me. 

Surprisingly, the teacher — a priest no 

less — agreed. It was my day to present. The 

speech was complete with a tasteful string of 

modest cuss words built up to one well-placed 

F-bomb. My classmates cringed and looked 

back at the teacher. He was not amused. 

“Oh, Mr. Sims… Mr. Sims!” he began 

loudly. “No no! See young Martin sitting right 

in front of you? He’s offended by such words. 

I did not know you were presenting on this.” I 

responded, “I told you my presentation was 

about slang words.” His face got even more 

The Movie Column 

By arts columnist Tom Sims 

red. “No, this will not do,” he said. “You are to 

present next week, about… hmmm… about 

the metamorphosis of a butterfly.” True story. 

Fast forward to the beginning of 2021. 

Netflix introduces a new show called History 

of Swear Words, hosted tongue-in-cheek by 

Nicolas Cage. Forty years after I was censored 

by my English teacher, I am vindicated! 

There’s only one season of the show so far, 

and it has six episodes. Each episode focuses 

on a distinct curse word. Oh, do you want to 

know what they are? Wait, I’m not falling for 

that trap! Suffice it to say they were all in my 

speech which, if permitted, would have likely 

gotten me an A plus! 

The show brings in various perspectives 

on swearwords. History of them for certain, 

but also current use and analysis from comedians, 

actors and bonafide language historians. 

If you’re not easily offended, it is pure 

entertainment. Well... maybe not so pure. 

As Kurt Vonnegut said as a fictional 

narrator in his book, Hocus Pocus, “Profanity 

and obscenity entitle people who don’t want 

unpleasant information to close their ears and 

eyes to you.” Or as I have loosely translated, 

“Cursing gives some people a reason not to 

listen to you.” The truth is, I have struggled 

with profanity my entire life. I can have a potty 

mouth. My goal is to use these words carefully 

and without malice. 

Incidentally, I got an 80 on the “effing” 

butterfly speech — that teacher was out to 

get me!

Bird Droppings 

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

As many readers are aware, North 

America’s breeding bird population 

has declined by 29 percent in the 

past 50 years. This dramatic and 

unprecedented decline has alarmed 

scientists. The decline is widespread, involving 

multiple habitat types and over a dozen 

bird families. Some families, like the shorebirds 

have suffered a 70 percent decline as has 

the greatly loved Baltimore Oriole. The cause 

of the decline is linked to our species manipulation 

of the planet to suit our ambitions 

including deforestation, the proliferation of 

plate glass along key migratory corridors, 

domestic free-roaming cats and automobiles. 

Sixty years ago, a heroic biologist, Rachel 

Carson, warned the world that we were heading 

for a “Silent Spring” unless we stopped 

applying a man-made insecticide, DDT. Her 

frightening message bought us 60 years. Now 

we face a new crisis. The solution is not as 

simple as banning a chemical, it depends on 

the buy in of all of us. We must reduce our 

imprint upon the planet and try to accommodate 

birds and other wildlife. 

One way to reduce the slaughter is to 

keep outside screens up year-round. Another 

useful adjustment is to place your bird feeders 

away from windows and patio doors. We 

had a Cooper’s Hawk working our yard that 

learned to herd birds into our patio door. 

“Ping” and another White-throated sparrow 

becomes a statistic. We soaped up the window 

and greatly solved the problem. 

Cats are different. Our native birds in 

the Northeast have no defense against small 

feline predators. Don’t even think that your 

pampered, overweight tabby is an exception 

to the rule. Indoor cats lead longer, healthier 

lives so for their sakes and the birds who need 

our help, keep your kitty indoors. 

The problem of cars killing birds is hard 

to address. Human reaction time is often not 

fast enough to avoid hitting birds. Bird strikes 

by automobiles are not uniformly distributed. 

Like deer, there are crossing points that are 

used more than others. One killing zone is 

Sunset Boulevard, west of the South Cape 

May Meadows. Most highway fatalities occur 

in winter and during migration. 

If you see a deer-crossing sign, be alert for 

birds. If birds are darting across the road, be 

vigilant. Where there is one, there are others. 

Avoid tossing food out the window. It attracts 

scavengers which attract hunting hawks and 

owls with tragic results. If we all do a little to 

protect birds, it will help. And maybe we can 

avoid a “Silent Spring” and cancelled skies.

The Activity Column 

Catherine Dugan’s guide to staying in... this week, explore Higbee Beach! 

I’m fascinated by the periodic appearance 

of the railroad tracks along Cape May’s 

bayshore. The “ghost tracks,” installed in 

1905, are the bones of bygone industry 

that remind me of the impermanence of 

everything. They are oddly comforting. 

The old railroad tracks served the Cape 

May Sand Company in the early 20th century, 

when sand used for glassmaking and 

cement products was a more valuable commodity 

than sand used for sunbathing and 

kite flying. From the beginning, the ghost 

tracks witnessed history. Their existence was 

threatened by periodic washouts as early as 

1907. Their beaches were used as a proving 

ground for ammunition during World War 

One. They had an up-close look at the waxed 

leather-and-canvas boots that gave bootleggers 

their name as Prohibition-era smugglers 

carried cases of Canadian liquor through the 

scrubby pine. Later, they carried hoppers for 

the Harbison-Walker Magnesite Plant, sending 

raw materials for furnaces and kilns to 

Pennsylvania. The tracks were a hidden witness 

to birdwatchers and nude bathers for 

years until a nor’easter revealed them and 

gave us a new reason to explore Higbee beach. 

The ghost tracks are not the only pieces of 

the past to haunt this bit of shoreline. Thomas 

Higbee, a tavern keeper whose heirs ignored 

his wish to rest in peace on his namesake 

beach, reportedly roams the sand with his 

black dog. Two Native American boys are 

said to gather shellfish at the mouth of the 

old New England Creek — now the Cape May 

Canal. Offshore, a colonial-era cemetery lies 

under the waves, its occupants are occupied 

by keeping an eye on swimmers. Horseshoe 

crabs, our local living fossils, dot the beach 

in late spring. In summer, sand tiger sharks 

mind their business offshore and dolphins 

show off for anyone who is paying attention. 

On the sand, local birds enjoy the last weeks 

of winter before the migrating birds start their 

journey north. Humans enjoy this quiet beach, 

many with their dogs. Joggers, photographers, 

and the occasional horse find room to spread 

out, skirting the easel of a painter by unspoken 

agreement. 

Winter is a great time to explore this isolated 

beach. There’s a small parking lot at the 

end of New England Road, which becomes 

Higbee’s Beach Road. Wear sturdy shoes — 

this is not a barefoot beach. Bring a friend or 

two, or your dog — the area can be isolated 

and a creepy human is scarier than any ghost. 

Lock up your bike if you pedal over. Bring your 

trash and your dog’s waste out with you.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal 

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

VINNY is a “gentle giant” and loves to be a lap 

dog. He is 77 pounds of pure joy who came to 

the shelter as a stray. He loves to play in the 

baby pool and chase toys in the yard. Vinny 

has great leash skills and would be a great 

companion in a single-adult home. He is up 

to date on all vaccinations and prefers a home 

without cats. 

ZAYDA is an affectionate and mature girl who 

came to the shelter when her owner passed 

away. She knows basic behavior cues and 

loves to run around the yard. Zayda loves people 

and will cuddle with you in any chair. She 

is house-trained and would be good in a home 

with children. If interested in adopting this 

sweet girl, contact the shelter. 

LYLA is a seven-year-old girl who came to the 

shelter when her family could no longer care 

for her. She loves to run around the yard and 

chase toys. Lyla also walks well on her leash 

and knows many behavior cues that she loves 

to show off. Once she is comfortable with you, 

she loves attention and would be best in a stable, 

all-female household.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal 

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

CHOOCH was a stray for years, fending for 

himself as best he could. He is FIV positive 

but can still live a long and healthy life. FIV is 

only transmitted through deep, blood-drawing 

wounds so he can happily live in a multicat 

household without infecting other pets. 

Chooch has had a rough time in life and needs 

a loving home that will care to his needs. 

NERO AND RUBY came to the shelter from 

the Buttercup Dune colony in Wildwood 

Crest. This bonded pair would be best adopted 

together. Ruby looks after Nero like a big sister 

and Nero is the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet. 

He was the runt of his litter and has become 

her shadow. They are both house-trained and 

would do well in a home with other cats. 

GRAYCIE is an indoor/outdoor cat who enjoys 

hunting to her heart’s content. She is a beautiful 

feline who likes her space and affection to 

not be forced upon her. Graycie is independent 

and would do best in a home without other 

cats, dogs and children. She is up to date on all 

vaccinations, spayed and declawed. If interested 

in adopting Graycie, contact the shelter.
