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. Then we give you the skinny on

what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked

about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served

us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay of the land.

The place: Ocean 7 at the Inn of Cape May, formerly Aleathea’s on

Beach and Ocean Avenues in Cape May.

The vibe: We snagged a lovely table on the porch overlooking the

lawn with a beautiful view of the ocean. It was HOT, but we enjoyed a

cool breeze. There are still a few renovations still outstanding (a downstairs

bar), but it’s looking great as things come together. The porch

outside is beautiful with a bar just inside and they’ve placed rocking

chairs across the lawn along with a few tables for more seating for the

restaurant. With a prime location and blend of good food, accommodations

and a kind and attentive staff, we look forward to what’s to come.

The conversation: Throughout lunch, we got on the topic of the

afterlife, psychics and mediums. You know the people — one minute

you’re out minding your own business, and the next, a stranger is telling

you about your late aunt who’s standing over you going on about

a necklace you’re wearing that came from her. Well, Jack shared a

wild story about a friend of his named Craig who was overcome with

a female presence near a neighboring table once while out to dinner.

Turned out, it was the late mother and daughter of the woman at the

table, letting her know they were okay. Tears were shed — how could

he possibly know this about a woman he’s never met? We say skeptics

be damned.

The food: We tried a few different menu items including three

watermelon and feta salads, a southern fried chicken sandwich and

seafood chowder with shrimp. Everything tasted super fresh, and it was

delicious — not a drop of food was left behind. We definitely see a second

visit in our future.

The goodbye: Friday was Exit Zero marketing intern Emma’s last

day. We treated her to lunch in celebration and can’t thank her enough

for hopping aboard our crazy train. She was a huge help to us this summer

and we will miss her dearly. Emma is headed into her junior year at

West Virginia University, and we wish her the best... come back soon!

Undertow

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

Undertow: A pox on both your monkeys!

The comically huge mountains

of dirty laundry I face down

every Sunday morning would be

hilarious if they didn’t fill me with

such existential dread. I keep waiting for

Gollum to club me and try to steal my ring.

A missed turn and quick recovery

Thursday morning might not be a big deal to

YOU, but with about 1500 loose copies of Exit

Zero stacked on your front seat, it’s a catastrophe.

A paper-mountain landslide. I half-expected

Gollum to club me and try to steal my

ring. (Sorry, I’m kind of listless this week.)

It was 86 degrees by 10am Thursday,

which should be illegal. It was so hot I could

feel the AC billowing out of the Cape May-

Lewes Ferry terminal from about 30-feet in

front of the door. Isn’t this interesting? As I

said, listless. Also, don’t mock people who

believe in God if you believe government

spending will lower the temperature.

I’m listless, but Paula Bistak said something

I wrote last week was “brilliant” and

who am I to argue with the savviest readers

in the world?

Sorry, Hawk Haven, I know I usually

deliver your magazines right to your door,

but I wasn’t going to run the gauntlet of lawn

sprinklers that were on when I got there. I

SHOULD have run that gauntlet (86 degrees

by 10am), but I didn’t because I’m dead inside.

(Enjoying my humor column so far?)

Joker 2 being a musical starring Lady Gaga

as Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s

titular clown prince of crime is the kind of

batshit crazy energy we deserve right now.

Quote of the Week: From Jim Faulkner.

“I’m not just saying this to get in your column,

but you were hilarious up there.” Oh,

Jim. You dirty liar. Thank you. And the “up

there” in question was on stage at Ferry Park

where I emcee the goings-on and whatnots

on Big Wednesday! (The exclamation point

means we’re serious.) Big Wednesday is

a day-long jubilee over at Ferry Park with

live music, games and drink specials from

2 to 11pm. On the 17th we have the Legacy

Band 5:30-8:30pm on the big stage playing

high-energy dance tunes that’ll get your juicy

booty shakin’, and not only will I be hosting,

but the Terry O’Brien Trio will be playing

the pre-and-post game parties (2-5:30pm,

8:30-11pm). It’s Big! It’s Wednesday! IT’S BIG

WEDNESDAY! (Exclamation point!)

Not only did Jim ambush me with his

compliment, but there has been a dozen people

over the last few weeks who have introduced

themselves. Usually, but not always,

with a kind word. Which sounds about right.

(Grateful Dead, New Riders of

the Purple Sage, Marshall Tucker

Band, etc) sure brought out the

tie-dye and patchouli lot. I had no

idea there were so many commie

pinko bastards in Cape May.

Restroom of the Week: I went

off the beaten path this week and

made a pit stop at Uncle Bill’s

in North Cape May. While the

decor is a little spartan for my

taste (give me an Iron Man decal

or “Hang in there!” kitty poster

all day long), it was impeccably

clean and aromatic. For a while.

Made acquaintances with

Tom and Marguerite Clancy

(and third wheel Bobby) at Ferry

Station. This is notable mostly

because she is the second person

I’ve ever met with the name

Marguerite. (It is my sister Erin’s

middle name.) What does this

make them? Name twins? Namelgangers?

Weirdos?

During a bout of insomnia

last Friday, I put on director Denis

Vilanueve’s Enemy, starring Jake

Gyllenhall and forgot it has the

scariest f*cking ending of any

movie ever made. Got the heart

going, didn’t do much for the

insomnia.

I haven’t said much about the

Phillies because I don’t want to

jinx anything (they’re going to

win the World Series… OOPS!)

but it may be time to stop dragging

out the 1980 team on alumni

weekend every year. Especially

now that they finally got Pete

Rose in for one. It’s… it’s time.

WCFA 101.5 Songs of the

Week: “Sitting Still” by R.E.M.

and “Annie Get Your Gun” by

Squeeze. Two finer examples

of the art form you’d be hardpressed

to find. The Phantom DJ

has been knocking it out of the

park lately.

Bartender of the Week: Mark

Haibach who mans the coolers at

Ferry Park on Big Wednesdays.

He puts in about 10 miles a night

running back and forth to the

fridge, restocking beers, wines

and canned cocktails that sit in

an ice bath then glisten in the

sun, sparkling beads of perspiration

running down their sides…

sorry. I’m just really thirsty.

This is a good time for Better

Call Saul to end because there ain’t

no hair and make-up gonna keep

these guys looking 35 years old.

Unpopular Opinion of the

Week: I watched the Dear Evan

Hansen movie on HBO the other

night and… it wasn’t bad? I never

saw the musical (fun fact: the

last Broadway production I was

Sarah Jessica Parker in Once Upon

a Mattress in 1996 and the one

before that was Crazy For You in

1993 and before that was nothing)

so I don’t have a frame of

reference, but the songs were

catchy and the acting was fine.

The kid playing 18-year-old Evan

Hansen looks about 37, but this

is the same industry that gave us

40-year-old Barbra Streisand as a

16-year-old in Yentl.

If you’ll recall, last week I

noted that I will be singing every

day from August 11 to 23 (with a

memorial service for my larynx

on August 24). What I failed to

realize is that with all my jobs

combined — singing, delivering,

writing, emceeing — I will be

working every day from August

7 to September 4. MY NEXT

DAY OFF IS AFTER LABOR DAY.

Just… what… why… how do

these things happen? Anyway, if

you see me at any time between

these dates, don’t ask, just get me

a Diet Coke. Or vodka.

Lastly, if you’re visiting our

town for the first or the fiftieth

time, please bear in mind that

every store and restaurant you

visit is woefully understaffed

and hanging by a thread, praying

they make it to September where

they can take a bit of a breather.

So, don’t yell at hostesses and

cashiers for things they have

no control over. And if you’re a

cashier or hostess, bear in mind

we’re less than a month away

from Locals’ Summer. Try not to

kill anyone before we get there.

’Til next week, don’t get

caught in The Undertow.

New Show At SOMA

The NewArt Gallery announces fourth art exhibition of the 2022 season

SOMA NewArt Gallery announces its

fourth art exhibition of the 2022 season,

featuring three regional solo artists.

“Things I Saw on the Way to the

Beach” by Rye Tippett, “Within Reach”

by Sharon Cosgrove and “The Venus File” by

Richard Samuelson will be on display August

20 to September 18.

Tippett received his formal training in

illustration and design at the Art Institute

of Philadelphia and works in an oil glazing

technique using thin layers of color in a wash

over a toned under painting. Cosgrove is an

award-winning artist whose work explores

classic themes of time, nature, balance and

stillness. Samuelson uses traditional and digital

techniques together into what seems to be a

deep and true creative partnership in his work.

Art lovers are invited to attend an Opening

Artist Reception on Saturday, August 20 from

6 to 9pm. SOMA is located at 31 Perry Street

in Carpenters Square Mall, Cape May. For

more information, please contact the gallery by

emailing stevesomagallery@gmail.com.

“The Feral” by Rye Tippett and more can be seen at the gallery beginning August 20.

The Movie Column

By arts columnist Tom Sims

Let’s start with a full disclosure. I dabble

in the stock market. I’ll buy a couple

shares here, a few there. I’m no

Warren Buffet, but it’s like betting on

a horse race. Oh no…I just lost the

animal welfare readers, right? I’m sorry but

when you can get 80-to-one odds on a horse,

and win…well, I’m in.

Okay enough about that. Back to the full

disclosure. Just yesterday, I bought a couple

shares of Netflix. Look up the value and do

the math… it wasn’t cheap (but it wasn’t way

too expensive either). And full disclaimer now

too! I’m not and never will be a stock advisor!

Nothing I say about stocks would (or should)

be taken seriously. When EF Hutton talks,

people listen. When I talk about investments,

people need to take that with a proverbial

grain of salt.

So why am I saying all of this, and how

does this even remotely have to do with a

movie review? Let’s start with a preview.

Netflix has some seriously anticipated

releases coming soon. Lost Ollie is an animated

feature that might compare to Toy Story.

That’s a big deal coming from a guy who puts

the Toy Story franchise in his top ten movies of

all freakin’ time!

Another ambitious film Netflix is releasing

is a take on the Pinocchio story as told by

Oscar winning director Guillermo del Toro.

Let’s talk Oscar while we’re at it. Seventeen

Netflix originals have gotten nearly 100 Oscar

nominations over only a few years. Feature

films, documentaries, shorts… you name it.

Netflix is a solid corporation that’s not

going anywhere. Subscriptions are down on

the streaming side of their business. That’s

what likely caused their stock prices to plummet,

making my purchase even possible.

They’re trying to tighten up on those subscriptions.

Hey, my kids use my account to

watch Netflix, and we don’t live in the same

household. Yikes, I hope Netflix isn’t reading

this. Don’t come after me!

But what about the studio side? After I

saw the trailers mentioned and recent movies

like Hustle, I looked to see what was in the

pipeline of new movies coming out in 2022.

What a long list! They’ll get their subscription

side under control, but the studio is fired up!

So, is Netflix a longshot? Isn’t everything? I’m

hoping to see great things.

We haven’t done a prize drawing in a

while. For a gift card of your choice, be the

first to email flixyoumissed@gmail.com with

the name of the film for which Guillermo del

Toro won his Oscar. No peeking online now!

FOR A GOOD TIME,

GO UNDERGROUND.

and drinks.

Take in wonderful views of the waterfront while you

enjoy delicious breakfast and lunch options on the

harbor.

Located in a magnificent Victorian mansion, with

plenty of outdoor dining, and the food does it justice.

Excellent Italian food and a lovely family-style

ambience.

beachfront restaurant’s menu focuses on locally

sourced seafood and signature craft cocktails.

Take pleasure in an unlimited brunch or a 15-course

tasting menu for dinner at Cape May’s only tapasstyle

restaurant!

This spot is great for the whole family to come eat,

drink, laugh, and settle their family disputes. Enjoy

ocean views, great food and ice-cold brews on the

boardwalk.

Bird Droppings

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

My neighbor Peter, a ranger

at Corson’s Inlet State Park,

informed me the other day that

Sanderling were back on the

beaches. Visitors know them as

“sandpipers,” and delight in their wave-chasing

antics. Most assume the birds nest here.

Wrong on two counts. The birds breed in

the High Arctic, and they deposit their eggs

in shallow scrapes on the tundra. So, what

are they doing here, now? Migrating. Nesting

season is done for the year, these adults,

still showing traces of rust-colored breeding

plumage about the head and neck are heading

south. Some will remain here for the winter;

others may travel to the tip of South America.

What determines which birds stay

and which move on? Nobody knows, but

Sanderlings have one of the longest and narrowest

longitudinal wintering ranges on the

planet, relegated as they are to sandy beaches

from Long Island to Tierra del Fuego. These

early arrivals are failed breeders, birds that

failed to find mates or whose nesting effort

ended in failure. In the Arctic, there is no time

for second chances. A failed effort means

an early ticket south. Next to arrive are successful

breeders, one of the adult pairs. With

young able to fend for themselves shortly after

hatching, there is no need for both adults to

guard the kids from predators. One of these

pugnacious birds is enough to guard the kids

from foxes, falcons and jaegers. Ma or pa

call the alarm and the kids freeze, defeating

hunting eyes with their cryptic natal plumage

which will be replaced by fully functional

feathers in time for young to start south in

August. How they know where to go and

when to stop is a mystery. But this staggered

migration means that adults and young can

use the same migratory stop-over sites and

not compete for food. So, as you marvel at

these tireless bundles of energy racing along

the beach, now you have just one more marvel

to contemplate. Imagine flying nonstop from

Baffin Island and still have energy to race

down the beach.

As much a part of the shore experience as

surf and salt laden air, the birds of the Jersey

shore continue to delight our senses, kindle

our imaginations, and serve as subjects on

coasters, place mats, dish towels and lamp

shades. So, the next time you contemplate

those tiny sandpipers, appreciate them for

the wonders they are, birds whose wings knit

hemispheres and grace us with their presence

for a few weeks every summer as they travel to

and from the ends of the earth.

The Activity Column

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, play some beach games!

What do you do at the beach when

you can’t be in the water? Play

a game that requires only the

“equipment” you can find on the

beach. No cost, no carry — just a

little ingenuity and a lot of competition.

Though we evolved to rely on cooperation,

humans also thrive on competition. It’s said

that we invented racing when we realized we

didn’t have to outrun the lioness, just the other

people running from her. My father always

asserted that the Irish invented competitive

athletics, citing the Tailteann Games of 1600

BCE as evidence. The Tailteann Games were

funeral rites to mark the passing of important

people. The first day — or group of days,

depending on the importance of the deceased

— was a day of mourning; the second, a day

of governance; and the third, a series of mental

and physical challenges, mostly involving

running. (The Egyptians probably held a similar

festival 1000 years before the Irish, and

there was a little thing called the Olympics

over in Greece, but let’s not let facts get in

the way of my father’s stories.) Held in late

July, the Tailteann Games also featured songs,

stories, and an ancient version of “Married at

First Sight” — a mass marriage of people who

just met, who pledged to live together for a

year. After that, if they didn’t suit, each was

free to choose another partner.

You don’t need to make that kind of commitment

when you choose partners for your

Beach Games. You just have to decide some

basic rules. Hold a footrace by drawing start

and finish lines with your toes; or set up a

relay, mixing the speedy in your group with

the slow. Or, when you see the dolphins, run

along the sand and race them to the jetty. If

you’ve got a lone kid, time her as she runs

from point to point — kids usually love to

beat the clock. Play a clamshell version of

horseshoes — draw two circles with holes in

the center about 20 feet apart, stand at the

opposite circle and try to get your clamshell

in the hole. Score one point for landing in

the circle, two for hanging the shell on the lip

of the hole, and three for getting it into the

hole. Play musical “chairs” with beach towels.

Draw a tic-tac-toe board in the sand. Create

an obstacle course by digging a small ditch,

building a small hill, and — if they are game

— recruiting aunts and uncles to serve as

obstacles. Draw a tightrope or a balance beam

and see if your cartwheel holds up.

Be considerate of other beach goers, and

don’t be surprised if they want to challenge

you. Have fun!

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

My aunt, who is also my godmother, and I

have always been close. For 20 years she’s been

telling me I’m in her will. Not too long ago, an

issue came up in the family about whether or

not to sell my grandmother’s house. As my

own mother died a few years ago, I am the heir

as well as my aunt and my uncle. He and I want

to sell the house and she does not. She has

refused to sign an agreement of sale and now

threatens to cut me out of the will unless I agree

with her. My aunt is ridiculously sentimental

about the past. Yes, she was raised in that

house, but she does not live in it now. Nor will

she spend any money to make it rentable. She

is very wealthy, and I am wondering if I should

acquiesce. What do you think? — Cornered

The Answer Lady

Wise answers to perplexing questions

Dear Cornered

The Answer Lady does not know your

financial circumstances, but she cringes at this

threat. Consider this, if you acquiesce, she will

use it against you in every situation in which

her opinion differs from her sibling or when

she wants you to do something you prefer not

to do. So, weigh your decision carefully. It’s not

just about the house. Sounds like you need an

ice cream cone at Kohr Brothers on the Mall.

Dear Answer Lady

My wife and I had dinner at a pretty nice

restaurant, but everything was horrible except

the service. We waited an hour for our meal and

then my filet was overcooked, and my wife’s

crab cake was miniscule for the price. The bill

was unbelievably out of line with the quality of

food. Now here’s where my wife and I disagree.

I wanted my dissatisfaction to be reflected

in the tip. I’m sorry — the tip reflects not just

good service but a good experience. My wife

begged me not to punish the one person who

made the evening tolerable. I left 15 percent

and told the server why. What would you have

done? — Disgruntled Diner

Dear Disgruntled

It seems you reached a fair compromise.

However, if you want to make your point, you

should have asked to speak to the manager

and threaten a Yelp review, emphasizing your

lovely server paid the price. Meanwhile, erase

that experience from your mind and make a

reservation at a farm-to-table dinner at Beach

Plum Farm.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal

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

ARIES is a large boy who was came to the

shelter when his owners could no longer keep

him. Once he is comfortable, he loves socializing

and attention. Tennis balls are Aries’

favorite toys and loves to play fetch. His leash

skills are improving, and he already responds

well to “sit.” Aries would be best in an adult

home as the only pet in the house.

LUCAS is a young dog who came to the shelter

when he became a bitch much for his family’s

four children. He has some fear-based behaviors

so, he needs a slow introduction to new

people and situations. Lucas is still learning

behavior cues and improving his leash skills,

but he would make a wonderful companion to

a family willing to continue his training.

NINA is an 11-year-old girl who is looking for

a home. She is a sweet and spunky girl for her

age and had a very loving owner. He passed

away and she came to the shelter as a result.

Nina loves to snuggle and has excellent leash

manners. Nina is comfortable with dogs and

cats and is looking forward to a loving family

taking her home.

PHEOBE came to the shelter from a hoarder

house, starving and very neglected. She is a

beautiful princess after her time in the shelter

and ready for a new home. Pheobe would be

good in a home with other cats, dogs and children.

She loves attention and playing with her

toys. If interested in adopting this girl, contact

the shelter.

TAFFY came to the shelter as one of seven

cats who lived in horrific conditions with a

hoarder, although he meant well. The cats

were found very scared, but sweet and needing

a lot of love. A quiet home would be best

for Taffy, who is also four years old. She is up

to date on all vaccinations and spayed. Taffy

would do well in a home with other cats.

RICHIE is a sweet girl who would make the

perfect house cat. She is an eight-year-old

polite and gentle feline and an ideal first pet

for a family. Richie is good with other cats,

dogs and children. She is very friendly and

loves to explore new surroundings. Richie is

up to date on all vaccinations and spayed. If

interested, please contact the shelter.
