Dashing Through December<br />
Some holiday elves spread Christmas cheer through Cape May<br />
during the Elf Dash on Saturday, December 18. As 2021 comes to a<br />
close, a little cheer is exactly what we all need. Aleksey Moryakov

Reopening Presidents Weekend in February<br />
Beach & Grant 609-884-3772<br />
Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,<br />
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s<br />
excellent dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny<br />
on what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we<br />
talked about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard,<br />
who served us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay<br />
of the land.<br />
The place: The warm and cozy dining room at the Blue Pig Tavern<br />
inside Congress Hall. We haven’t eaten out in a while and Jack wanted<br />
to treat Kayla and Nicole to a Christmas lunch before we were off for<br />
the holiday weekend.<br />
The surprise: Despite the hustle and bustle of town, we were able<br />
to grab a parking spot and table with ease on this Thursday afternoon.<br />
It was VERY cold out — probably the lowest temp we’ve seen thus far<br />
— so it was nice to have a seat near the roaring fireplace to keep us<br />
warm.<br />
The conversation: With so much going on between the ferry terminal,<br />
Exit Zero Filling Station and the whole new baby thing in the<br />
Wright household, this was one of the few days we saw Jack for more<br />
than 20 minutes here and there through the day. It was nice to chat<br />
about the work being done at our other location and hear about some<br />
exciting updates. We also chatted about our holiday plans and how<br />
crazy they can be when you have multiple families to visit, whether or<br />
not they are our own. Laughs were shared at the expense of each other<br />
— details cannot be published, but would we expect anything less?<br />
The drinks: Since it was a holiday, Jack said he was going to enjoy<br />
a glass of merlot and encouraged Kayla and Nicole to do the same.<br />
After a little arm twisting, they decided to enjoy a couple of bloody<br />
marys. It was just what we all needed after a hectic couple of days.<br />
The food: We all decided what we wanted to eat pretty quickly.<br />
Jack went for the steak frite with a side salad, Kayla enjoyed the<br />
chicken BLT with a side salad and Nicole the turkey avocado and<br />
bacon sandwich, BUT she went with French fries. Jack at least waited<br />
until she was boxing up her leftovers to begin picking at her fries.<br />
The takeaway: The Blue Pig never disappoints. With the restaurant<br />
being open year-round, it’s convenient and delicious.

Undertow<br />
Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence<br />
In the immortal words of Barry Manilow,<br />
looks like we made it. It’s my last one of<br />
these for the year and I’ve got 10 months<br />
worth of leftover notes, so you can<br />
expect a really low-effort offering this<br />
week. (I know, I know, they all seem really<br />
low-effort but you ain’t seen nothin’ yet…)<br />
I would do a whole Year In Review thing<br />
but, really, who wants to linger on 2021 one<br />
second longer than they have to? Let’s just<br />
start with a clean slate in 2022, when things<br />
are bound to get better, right? (He says as<br />
2020 laughs maniacally in the distance…)<br />
We managed to have a serviceable<br />
Christmas this year despite half the O’Brien<br />
adults not working much in the last quarter.<br />
I’m usually your average, depressed, Irish,<br />
tamp-your-feelings-way-down-deep-inside-then-drown-them-in-alcohol<br />
type, but<br />
took a mental health break in October that<br />
laundered my karma (good), while eviscerating<br />
my bank account (bad). Thankfully,<br />
our sons are grown enough to want mostly<br />
clothes and gift cards because PS5s and<br />
iPhones weren’t happening. We also enjoyed<br />
a wonderful breakfast (cooked by me) and<br />
a wonderful dinner (cooked by me) while<br />
watching the sneakily excellent Enctanto<br />
on Disney+ as Owen and Jackson argued,<br />
Henry played on his phone and Cathrine<br />
kept asking me “what just happened?” In<br />
other words, an awesome day.<br />
Speaking of breakfast, I’m sure there’s<br />
some deep-seated psychological reason why<br />
I make my (delicious) breakfast potatoes by<br />
cooking big potatoes, then chopping those<br />
big potatoes into small potatoes, a task that<br />
takes the better part of an hour, when there<br />
are literally dozens of pre-seasoned breakfast<br />
potatoes hanging in Acme that you just<br />
brown and serve. Probably something to do<br />
with my Catholic upbringing, but as a good<br />
Irish boy, I’d rather tamp those feelings down<br />
until I die than talk about them.<br />
I spent my Christmas week reading Jack<br />
Reacher novels. Three of them. All great.<br />
Couldn’t tell you what one of them was<br />
about.<br />
Speaking of books I love but can’t<br />
remember, the Station Eleven adaptation on<br />
HBO is stunning (for five episodes, anyway).<br />
Turns out I completely memory-dumped the<br />
book, though, because every moment has<br />
been a wonderful surprise. (Warning: It’s<br />
bleak. New moms should NOT watch it. Jack<br />
Wright, this is me telling you to keep Diane<br />
Stopyra away from it in case you’re too thick<br />
to break my code.)<br />
It’s always jarring when Larry Crinkle<br />
pops up on my TV (which is, somehow,<br />
mysteriously, always tuned to Fox 29 every<br />

Sunday at noon). I’ve got this<br />
and the Showtime bit I filmed<br />
last week under my 2021 belt,<br />
and I’m up for a “modeling” gig<br />
on QVC that would put a nice<br />
button on my year. Hey, wait<br />
a minute… Brady Schoenrock,<br />
doesn’t your fella have some pull<br />
up there? Tell Jeff Raiczyk to put<br />
a good word in for me, willya?<br />
I won’t do nude but I will do<br />
thong. Test photos incoming…<br />
Because my wife and I<br />
both have problems sleeping (I<br />
have apnea because I’m 80lbs<br />
overweight, she thrashes and<br />
screams because of a nerve disorder<br />
and crippling meth addiction)<br />
we often trade between bed<br />
and couch. Well, a few nights ago<br />
as I stretched out on our new<br />
sectional, she says, “You don’t<br />
have to sleep out here tonight.<br />
Come to the bedroom with me if<br />
you want. I can’t promise it’ll be<br />
very pleasant, but…”<br />
And they say that romance<br />
is dead.<br />
I recently suffered a catastrophic<br />
eye injury while playing<br />
peekaboo. They put me in the<br />
ICU.<br />
Good News/Bad News of the<br />
Week: Bummed to go two weeks<br />
in a row without Jehovanny<br />
Nunez being at Antojos to chat<br />
about the latest goings-on the<br />
in Marvel Cinematic Universe<br />
last Thursday, but turns out he<br />
was absent for a pretty good reason;<br />
helping bring little Manuel<br />
into the world. Congratulations<br />
to Gee and Kerri and good luck<br />
entering your 40s with a tod-<br />
dler(HAHAHAHAHAHAHA-<br />
HAHAHAHAHAHA!)<br />
By the time you read this<br />
I will have started my new job<br />
in the warehouse for the good<br />
people at Cape May Peanut<br />
Butter Co. and Cape May Olive<br />
Oil Co. and Wingnutz and The<br />
Spice Cellar of Cape May and<br />
the Weed Dispensary Co. of<br />
Cape May (okay, not yet). I’m<br />
not exactly sure what it is I’ll be<br />
doing, but whatever it is they’ll<br />
be paying me, so I’ll try to do it<br />
pretty well. Unfortunately, Tim<br />
Shriver works there, as well,<br />
meaning every day will start<br />
with a 15-minute ball-breaking<br />
session over coffee before any<br />
actual work gets done.<br />
Spider-Man: No Way Home<br />
isn’t the most fun I’ve had at<br />
a Marvel movie (that honor is<br />
shared by Guardians of the Galaxy<br />
and Avengers: Infinity Way) but it’s<br />
awful damn close. A nerdgasm<br />
of the highest order. It was a<br />
travesty that Spider-Man 2 was<br />
not nominated for Best Picture<br />
in 2004 (which The Incredibles<br />
should have won) and it will be<br />
a travesty now, especially with<br />
the expanded format, which<br />
was implemented precisely for<br />
movies like this. You know, ones<br />
that people have actually seen,<br />
as opposed to whatever gay<br />
fish-screwing Korean teacher<br />
drama is currently knocking<br />
them dead in Manhattan.<br />
Lastly this year, along with<br />
my new job for the Peanut Butter<br />
Mafia (which makes sense,<br />
because I’m chunky, yet smooth),<br />
I’ll be returning to the mic at<br />
Exit Zero this Saturday (with a<br />
bonus gig on Sunday) before settling<br />
into Fridays and Saturdays<br />
for the long haul. We’re calling<br />
these gigs Terry O’Brien & Co.<br />
as I’ll be playing with an array of<br />
wingmen this year. I’m excited to<br />
work with these guys and I think<br />
you’ll enjoy them, too.<br />
Additionally, and as I’ve<br />
been teasing for the last, oh, 18<br />
months, I’m pleased to announce<br />
that my tribute bands, Love Me<br />
Dudes (Beatles) and The Terry<br />
O’Brien Band (Beatles/Billy/<br />
Bruce), will be playing every<br />
third Sunday at Exit Zero Ferry<br />
Station (EZ’s new Cape May-<br />
Lewes Ferry venture) starting…<br />
when they open! (Hopefully<br />
March, probably April.) More<br />
details when we come back in<br />
February, but it’s a killer group of<br />
musicians.<br />
Out of space. I love you all!<br />
’Til next year, don’t get<br />
caught in The Undertow.

A<br />
picture may be worth a thousand<br />
words, but when it comes to good<br />
filmmaking the words still count!<br />
One Oscar category I’ve been<br />
drawn to recently is Outstanding<br />
Achievement in Visual Effects. This used to<br />
be called special effects. Either way, it seems<br />
to be reserved for blockbuster films — despite<br />
the fact that many smaller films take the time<br />
to artfully consider the visually pleasing.<br />
This year, Variety magazine has five predictions<br />
for its top visual arts movies. Three<br />
of them are superhero movies, not surprisingly,<br />
with Spider-Man: No Way Home, Eternals,<br />
and Shang-Chi. A reimagining of Dune and<br />
continuing saga of The Matrix round out the<br />
category predictions.<br />
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is<br />
visually stunning! This martial arts superhero<br />
movie also gets credit for being well-written<br />
— although sometimes formulaic storytelling<br />
needs to be overwhelmed by the aesthetic.<br />
Like many movies from the Marvel Universe,<br />
you barely have time to catch your breath to<br />
The Movie Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
see the subtle overuse of some story elements.<br />
What’s becoming clear is that Marvel has<br />
mastered the art of keeping the plot simple.<br />
It adds a great deal of humor, especially with<br />
comedic favorite Awkwafina as the would-be<br />
leading lady. In years past, some superhero<br />
movies featured too many characters and subplots<br />
that made me feel less entertained and<br />
more like I needed a scorecard in the theater.<br />
Not the case with Shang-Chi.<br />
Simu Liu plays the lead character, a son<br />
who is uncertain about the powers his father<br />
wants to bestow. The father is played by Xu<br />
Wenwu. Ben Kingsley’s character also brings<br />
a lot of comic relief. Even though this could be<br />
a complicated story, Marvel keeps the mood<br />
light and the action lively. As I think about it,<br />
“lively” is a huge understatement.<br />
Some debate that visual effects are just<br />
another way of saying cinematography. Not<br />
sure I disagree with this. But you are not going<br />
to get a listing of superhero movies under<br />
cinematography — just not going to happen.<br />
What you get there is a list of the nominees<br />
for best picture. That’s just the way it works.<br />
And it’s unlikely that superhero movies will be<br />
nominated for screenplay adaptation. Variety<br />
gives Shang-Chi a nod all the way down on its<br />
list of movies for this nomination.<br />
So get in front of a big screen and see<br />
some of these cool flix over the holidays.<br />
Don’t forget to email flixyoumissed@gmail.<br />
com about the experience! Merry Christmas<br />
and Joyous Kwanzaa! See you in 2022!<br />

Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
Every season has its special charms,<br />
winter notwithstanding. When wife<br />
Linda and I first became involved,<br />
we asked each other the important<br />
questions that couples ask. “Favorite<br />
book?” “Favorite movie?”<br />
And while I no longer know the answers<br />
to those questions, I do recall Linda’s surprise<br />
to my response to her question, “What is your<br />
favorite season?”<br />
“Winter,” I replied.<br />
“Not summer?” she probed.<br />
“No...” I replied, simply but sincerely, “...I<br />
hate summer.”<br />
Summer means sweating under the sheets<br />
at night and breathing the same air they were<br />
breathing in Birmingham, yesterday. Give me<br />
the clean, crisp ice-tinged air seeping out of<br />
Canada, anytime. It makes every breath intoxicating<br />
and the low-lying winter light gilds the<br />
landscape. Summer air blurs the edges and<br />
coats the world in bland uniformity.<br />
I guess winter light helps explain why I<br />
find winter waterfowl so appealing. That and<br />
their abundance. In summer, ducks and geese<br />
are paired and spread out across the Prairies<br />
and the Arctic. Only in winter do the birds<br />
coalesce into flocks where their cavorting and<br />
gabble is a seasonal delight.<br />
In February, if you head for coastal inlets<br />
that are stirred by the tide, you can hear the<br />
courtship calls of male Long-taileds. It sounds<br />
like the birds are saying South Southerly...<br />
South Southerly....” In fact, “South Southerly,”<br />
was the name market gunners ascribed to<br />
the flagellum-tailed birds. In the Arctic the<br />
Inuit know the bird as the “Ah-guy-achook,”<br />
Another phonetic rendering of the duck’s call.<br />
One vocalizing bird will set off a chain reaction<br />
of calls followed by a spirited tail chase<br />
in which females invite suitors to show their<br />
best stuff.<br />
One Spring, Linda and I were camped<br />
at the edge of the seasonal ice sheet near<br />
Pond Inlet, Nunavut. Spring was running late,<br />
and thousands of Long-tailed Ducks were<br />
jammed up against the ice, waiting for tundra<br />
ponds to thaw. Sleep was about impossible<br />
given the din of yodeling Long-taileds and the<br />
near 24-hour sunlight. The threat of prowling<br />
Polar Bears only added to our inability to<br />
sleep.<br />
But Cape May residents can avoid bears<br />
and save the expense of a flight to Pond Inlet<br />
and still be treated to the sight and sound<br />
of Long-taileds in love. Just head over to<br />
Townsend, Cape May or Hereford Inlet and<br />
get an ear full.<br />

A<br />
clean house is a great way to start<br />
the new year, so it’s no wonder so<br />
many cultures incorporate cleaning<br />
into their New Year’s celebrations.<br />
In Portugal, it’s considered good luck<br />
to start the new year with an empty clothes<br />
hamper, which means New Year’s Eve is laundry<br />
day. In China, sweeping on the first day of<br />
the new year is bad luck, so the house must be<br />
clean before the calendar turns. After you rest<br />
in a clean house for a few hours, you can think<br />
about your resolutions for 2022.<br />
You may resolve to help clean up your<br />
town. Maybe you’re ready to “trashercise.”<br />
Trashercise, or “plogging” is a combination<br />
of exercising while picking up trash. Though<br />
we all know kind souls who have been doing<br />
this for years, it became trendy in Sweden in<br />
2016, when concern about plastic pollution<br />
encouraged Swedes to take action. “Plogging”<br />
combines the Swedish words “plocka upp,”<br />
for “picking up” with “jogga” for “jogging.”<br />
Generally, you turn one of your regular outdoor<br />
exercise sessions into a cleanup. One<br />
The Activity Column<br />
Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, cleanup the beach trash!<br />
plogger advises a light jogging warm up to<br />
scout for garbage, followed by a walk with<br />
frequent squats to pick up the litter. She wears<br />
gloves and carries a couple of trash bags,<br />
which she deposits into municipal trash cans.<br />
Though it may feel like you’re trying to<br />
empty the ocean with a teaspoon, experts say<br />
these clean ups can make a difference. Picking<br />
up trash encourages you and others to be more<br />
aware of what we create. And people who<br />
participate in a group effort become ambassadors,<br />
encouraging others to reduce single-use<br />
plastics and be careful of where to dispose of<br />
things like cigarette butts which may take a<br />
decade to degrade. This chain reaction may<br />
keep streets and beaches cleaner — healthier<br />
for wildlife.<br />
Americorps is sponsoring a New Year’s<br />
cleanup on Sunset Beach, Sunday, January 2,<br />
from 10am to 2pm providing buckets, gloves,<br />
bags and pickers. Register online at www.<br />
eventbrite.com/e/new-years-sunset-beachclean-up-tickets.<br />
Wear closed shoes and<br />
dress for the weather, including sunscreen.<br />
If you’re going to do your own beach cleanup,<br />
wear sturdy gloves and use a grabber to pick<br />
up sharp objects like broken glass. Use your<br />
kitchen tongs as a grabber and sterilize them<br />
in your dishwasher later. If you plan to make<br />
plogging a habit, consider making or buying a<br />
special tool, like a long stick with a sharp pin<br />
on the end. Don’t touch your face with your<br />
gloves on. Wash your hands thoroughly when<br />
done and pat yourself on the back.<br />

the wisdom herein.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
A person has been bugging me for the<br />
last month on Facebook about meeting<br />
somewhere. Where would you suggest? He<br />
wants to take me out on New Year’s Eve, but I<br />
don’t do New Year’s Eve and I especially don’t<br />
do it with someone I don’t know. With this<br />
COVID scare I don’t know what would be open<br />
after New Year’s because that’s when I told him<br />
I’d meet up. Any suggestions? — Perplexed<br />
Dear Perplexed<br />
Why not make a luncheon date for New<br />
Year’s Eve afternoon? There are several places<br />
which are COVID sensitive and offer an<br />
excellent menu or an excellent view. Fins, the<br />
Mad Batter, the Blue Pig or the Lobster House.<br />
This accomplishes several goals at once. You<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
get to meet him in a public place, enjoy a meal<br />
without the worry of New Year’s Eve revelers<br />
breathing all over you and you can safely say,<br />
“Yes, I did go out on a date and started the New<br />
Year with a new slate. P.S. If you make the date<br />
after the holiday — the suggestions would be<br />
the same. Happy New Year!!<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I started dating a man two years ago.<br />
He soon started talking about marriage but<br />
said we had to wait until he finished law<br />
school, which he finished earlier this month.<br />
Christmas has passed with no engagement<br />
ring. I’m 33 and want to have children. I trusted<br />
him and now feel I was lied to. I saw a letter on<br />
his desk for a job offer in Chicago. He knows I<br />
can’t relocate because of my job, my parents<br />
and my love of Cape May. I am so hurt. I’m<br />
waiting for him to bring this all up but so far —<br />
crickets. What should I do? — Devastated<br />
Dear Devastated<br />
He may be weighing his decision and is<br />
having a hard time himself. Your silence is fearbased.<br />
Fear that it might be over or that your<br />
chance has passed. He might have changed his<br />
mind but isn’t it time you brought all this out<br />
into the open? Whatever his personal goals<br />
are, you clearly have some of your own and<br />
this needs to be openly discussed. Don’t allow<br />
yourself to put your fate in someone else’s<br />
hands. A quiet dinner at the Sunset Supper<br />
Club is an opportunity to tell him how you feel<br />
and ask what his intentions are. Knowing the<br />
truth is better than shirking in the dark.<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 />
STORM is a sweet and gentle big girl who<br />
came to the shelter when her family moved<br />
and couldn't take her along. She is 95 pounds<br />
of happiness. Storm gets a lot of exercise in<br />
the yard, and she has excellent leash skills. She<br />
is friendly to any human that comes near her,<br />
and does well with other dogs, cats and children.<br />
She will make a wonderful family pet.<br />
SNOWBALL is a seven-year-old girl who<br />
loves attention. So much so that she needs a<br />
home where she will be the only pet. Snowball<br />
loves running around the yard and playing<br />
fetch, but her favorite thing to do is go on<br />
a brisk walk. She has excellent leash skills and<br />
will stay close to her human. Snowball would<br />
do best in a quiet, adult home.<br />
ROCKY is a mature boy who came to the<br />
shelter when his family could no longer care<br />
for him. He is a sweet and mellow dog who is<br />
easy to harness and loves long walks. Rocky's<br />
leash skills are excellent, and he mostly enjoys<br />
attention from his humans. According to his<br />
last owner, he gets along with children, cats<br />
and love frequent trips to the dog park.<br />
