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 Answer Lady invites inquiries from<br />

gentle readers on all manner of relationship<br />

quandaries, matters of the<br />

heart and ethics. If you’d like to send<br />

a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Or,<br />

simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate<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 />
