Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,<br />
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent<br />
dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on<br />
what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked<br />
about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served<br />
us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay of the land.<br />
The place: Dan and Nicole were craving a yummy brunch on Sunday<br />
morning and what better place to curb that craving than with a trip<br />
to The Mad Batter on Jackson Street.<br />
The server: It was a busy morning for The Mad Batter, but our<br />
server Dave moved about his section of tables with ease. He’s been<br />
serving there for about a year and a half and loves every second. “It’s<br />
such a fun and easy place to work,” he says. “They’re a great family to<br />
work for and we’ve got year-round business which is a huge plus. The<br />
food comes out of that kitchen so fast which is great for you guys, and<br />
it helps us flip our tables and feed more people — you can’t beat it over<br />
here.” Dave also clued us in on some of his favorite dishes — the corned<br />
beef hash tops his list and is now on Dan’s list of must-try meals the<br />
next time we stop in. Thanks for the tip and a great morning meal, Dave!<br />
The drinks: What’s a trip to The Mad Batter if we don’t get their<br />
original Manmosa? Dan and Nicole both went for their signature<br />
brunch cocktail — orange vodka, Allagash White wheat beer, freshsqueezed<br />
orange juice and champagne. They limit you to two per customer...<br />
as they should. It was refreshing and delicious as always.<br />
The food: Nicole and Dan have their usuals at this point when they<br />
stop at The Mad Batter. Nicole enjoyed the eggs benedict and Dan went<br />
for the creamed chip beef over white toast. He added a fried egg and<br />
a side of scrapple. Safe to say he enjoyed it... Nicole took nearly three<br />
bites and looked up to see his plate cleaned. Unsurprising with the way<br />
Dan eats, but he still had room to pick at some of Nicole’s side of fruit.<br />
We were stuffed and very happy with our decision to start our Sunday<br />
here.<br />
The takeaway: The Mad Batter is open daily for breakfast and lunch<br />
from 8am to 3pm and lunch and dinner from 3pm. They have a full bar<br />
for some fun cocktails and live music throughout the week, including<br />
an open-mic night on Sundays. For their full schedule and menu, check<br />
them out online!

Undertow<br />
Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence<br />
Welcome to the seventh-to-last<br />
Undertow of 2022 (ever?) which<br />
means you have only seven<br />
more opportunities to savor<br />
the deliciousness that is the<br />
Undertow like you would a fine wine or an<br />
Egg McMuffin. (Note to self; buy wine before<br />
hitting McDonald’s tomorrow morning.) As<br />
the year winds down, so does my interest in<br />
taking good notes with which to fill out this<br />
weekly missive. Sometimes my note taking is<br />
so lax I will shamelessly write overly flowery<br />
and lengthy paragraphs just to eat up a little<br />
space. Not, uh, not today though. (Ahem.)<br />
I actually had a pretty busy week so I<br />
might have to go back and delete some of that<br />
space-eating nonsense. Might not. Could go<br />
either way, really. Anyway…<br />
Sunday through Wednesday I didn’t do<br />
anything because I’m unemployed. Sure, I<br />
have five jobs at Exit Zero, but only three of<br />
them pay. So it wasn’t until Thursday morning<br />
that my week really got started. My son,<br />
Owen, also unemployed, said, “Dad, wake me<br />
up in the morning and I’ll do magazines with<br />
you.” I knew it was a dirty lie, but I waited an<br />
extra few hours before going out to give him<br />
a more reasonable get-the-hell-out-of-bed<br />
time (6:30am as opposed to 3:30am) and, to<br />
the shock of no one, he did not get-the-hellout-of-bed.<br />
But it’s okay, I still love him.<br />
I was treated to another great session<br />
from WCFA (this week’s standouts; “Melanie”<br />
by The Nines, which sounds like the abandoned<br />
love child of ELO and Billy Joel, and<br />
“Summertime” by The Sundays, which has a<br />
top-10, all-time chorus, absolutely sublime).<br />
But if you do one thing in your life, find someone<br />
who loves you like the WCFA Phantom DJ<br />
loves Joe Jackson (This is NOT a complaint.)<br />
Thursday evening, I made my musical<br />
debut at Jester’s Dive Bar (formerly Rio<br />
Station) with The Terry O’Brien Trio v3.0<br />
(with Cathrine O’Brien and Dave Hughes<br />
and I’ll admit, Cathrine only gets these jobs<br />
because she’s sleeping with the singer) where<br />
we saw a number of friendly faces who made<br />
the drive all the way to Rio Grande (Exit 4) to<br />
support local music. Sue and Carl Spatocco<br />
(Cape Island Foods) brought our friends<br />
Frank and Gloria Winters, who go all the way<br />
back to The O’Brien Brothers Band when most<br />
of my brothers were still alive and have the<br />
t-shirt to prove it. Sandy and Ralph Mannik<br />
attended and treated the singer to a Tito’s<br />
and club because they love me and want only<br />
nice things for me. My former Billy Joel and<br />
keyboardist, Dave Landis, was very complimentary<br />
of our playlist, which runs the gamut<br />
from Elvis Presley to Mike & the Mechanics to<br />
Khruangbin. Dave quit competitive keyboard-<br />

Van Morrison minutiae. (He is<br />
as admirably devoted to knowing<br />
everything there is to know about<br />
Van as I am about Squeeze and<br />
GOD we must be annoying…).<br />
The gig went super-well and I<br />
hope to be invited back.<br />
(While on the topic of Mike &<br />
the Mechanics, my new favorite<br />
YouTube is Pat Finnerty’s “What<br />
Makes This Song Stink,” a play<br />
on Rich Beato’s “What Makes<br />
This Song Great,” and it’s usually<br />
quite funny and on-point, until<br />
this week and his unwarranted<br />
firebombing of “All I Need Is A<br />
Miracle,” a fine, some might say<br />
really catchy 80s tune. Now back<br />
to our regular programming.)<br />
Jester’s Night II came Friday<br />
after my Exit Zero gig with Sugar<br />
Dave. We stopped in on the way<br />
to taking him home to see Cult<br />
Tides, a new band made up of<br />
a bunch of Bob Maschio’s kids<br />
(Bob is a big muckety-muck at<br />
98.7 The Coast and former lead<br />
singer of the classic Cape May<br />
Bar band, Fuzzy Bunny Slippers)<br />
and longtime area bartender/<br />
manager Sean Haggerty. Sean<br />
and I go back to when he was a<br />
pup cutting his bartending teeth<br />
at Terry O’ke nights and I’d have<br />
to beg him to sing, like, backups<br />
on “Losing My Religion,” and<br />
here he was Friday night belting<br />
out you-make-a-my-dreamscome-true.<br />
(Sniff.) They grow up<br />
so fast. (Sniff.)<br />
And Jester’s Night III was late<br />
Saturday night after The Terry<br />
O’Brien Trio v3.1.1 (Dave and Ray<br />
Palmer) played a benefit show in<br />
Nottingham, PA (literally across<br />
the street from Herr’s corporate<br />
headquarters). It was a long day<br />
with a lot of driving so we stopped<br />
in for a shot and beer and caught<br />
the last few songs of the Sindi<br />
Raymond Band (the word “Band”<br />
is doing a lot of heavy lifting here<br />
as it was just two of them and a<br />
drum machine, but I digress) and<br />
she sounded great, as usual.<br />
Three nights in a row at a<br />
bar. At my age. Sunday morning<br />
Terry is REALLY ANNOYED at<br />
Saturday night Terry.<br />
The concert in Nottingham<br />
was an event concerning my<br />
old high school (Kennett High,<br />
Kennett Square, PA) where I saw<br />
any number of former classmates<br />
and teachers. It was nice to see so<br />
many old friends and even nicer<br />
to see I wasn’t the only one who<br />
got fat.<br />
Problem Solver of the Week:<br />
Maddie Sachar (nee Hogan), who<br />
explained to me that she was out<br />
buying wine at Sunset Liquors<br />
in her pajamas because her husband,<br />
Jon, drank all her wine so<br />
she needed more wine and she<br />
was in her pajamas and what’s a<br />
girl to do? Problem. Solved.<br />
Late Night Cooking Tip of the<br />
Week: If you fry your rice in the<br />
leftover juice from the steak you<br />
just cooked and add enough butter<br />
and salt it doesn’t matter that<br />
you got it from the Chinese place<br />
two weeks ago.<br />
Gonna get that vote count in<br />
Arizona any day now…<br />
Lastly this week, if you’ve<br />
seen any of my bands in the last<br />
10 years or so (Love Me Dudes,<br />
The Strangers, The Credibles, The<br />
Terry O’Brien Band) you know<br />
the one mainstay in all of them<br />
was Al Olivero on drums. Al is a<br />
great player and a better dude. If<br />
you spoke to Al for more than two<br />
minutes you would know how<br />
proud he was of his daughter,<br />
Maura, a very talented musician<br />
in her own right, and an incredible<br />
young lady. We lost Maura<br />
last week. Devastating to all of<br />
us that knew her (she graduated<br />
with my son Owen in 2019) and<br />
the one thing every parent fears<br />
above all else. If you can, please<br />
spare a good thought for Al and<br />
his family. I’m sure it would be<br />
appreciated. Maura, we love you,<br />
we’ll miss you.<br />
’Til next week, don’t get<br />
caught in The Undertow.

Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
It is universally known as the Hawk<br />
Watch Platform and for over 30 years<br />
visitors have been mounting the steps<br />
to be awed by one of the planet’s greatest<br />
migrations of birds of prey. They<br />
are never disappointed because on those rare<br />
days when hawks are not flying, it hosts other<br />
birds to savor. In November and December<br />
its waterfowl — hundreds of ducks pack into<br />
Bunker Pond all within easy viewing distance<br />
of the platform.<br />
Gadwall, a dapper puddle duck dominates.<br />
The males don tasteful gray attire, and<br />
the females are more elegant than female<br />
mallards. Also common are Pintails, with<br />
their rakish, flagellum-like tails. American<br />
Wigeon make the chill air ring with their<br />
comical two-note toot. Northern Shoveler,<br />
identified by their out-sized, spatula-shaped<br />
bills, are often the duck closest to the platform.<br />
Northern Shoveler’s are also the duck<br />
most likely to have their heads under water.<br />
Last weekend, a drake Wood Duck nearly stole<br />
the show. The colorful ducks look like they<br />
are dressed for Mardi gras and at the end of<br />
the 19th century, it was feared the birds were<br />
heading for extinction. It was habitat destruction<br />
as much as unregulated hunting that<br />
decimated the ranks of Wood Ducks. Cavity<br />
nesters, often nesting hundreds of yards from<br />
water, the felling of southern forests almost<br />
spelled the end for this duck. Responding well<br />
to artificial boxes, today the planet’s greatest<br />
density of breeding Wood Ducks are found in<br />
the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in<br />
North Jersey.<br />
And we can’t forget about geese. With<br />
Canada Geese abound, we in these goose-rich<br />
times forget that 60 years ago, Canada Goose<br />
was a rare treat. A flock of geese passing overhead<br />
would stop people in their tracks. And<br />
it was special, a sound like dogs barking but<br />
growing louder, coming on. I still thrill to the<br />
sound of migrating geese but confess that my<br />
sentimental favorite is the sound of migrating<br />
Tundra Swans. Heralding from the Arctic,<br />
heading for Currituck Sound where the birds<br />
gather by the tens of thousands. We in Cape<br />
May are often treated to a big push of Tundra<br />
Swans around Thanksgiving.<br />
Hated by game management engineers,<br />
beloved by a near militant band of swan lovers,<br />
perhaps no North American bird is the<br />
target of such dueling regard. I like them. I’m<br />
particularly taken by the way non-birders<br />
take to them. On the hawk watch platform,<br />
loaner Swarovski spotting scopes seem ever<br />
trained on the swans in Bunker Pond.<br />

The Movie Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
Dwayne Johnson stars as Black Adam,<br />
a larger-than-life, supercharged<br />
superhero. It seems audiences and<br />
critics can’t agree. The critics are,<br />
well, critical. They believe the movie<br />
didn’t live up to expectations. The audiences<br />
didn’t care about all that — they just liked the<br />
outrageous fight scenes and new heroes.<br />
But these heroes aren’t new. In fact, the<br />
original characters far pre-date their Marvel<br />
Universe counterparts. Marvel created a new<br />
world of superheroes in the 1960s with many<br />
originals that had never been duplicated.<br />
Note: “many” not “all.” Dr. Strange is a wellknown<br />
sorcerer, but before him there was Dr.<br />
Fate, who originally appeared in 1940. In Black<br />
Adam, Dr. Fate is played by Pierce Brosnan.<br />
His character sees into the future, can duplicate<br />
himself, and is otherwise able to summon<br />
mystical arts to defeat his enemies.<br />
Another character appearing in this<br />
movie is Hawkman (played by Aldis Hodge),<br />
who has also been around for over 80 years.<br />
He flies, has super strength, and uses oldschool<br />
instruments of fighting. Joining these<br />
two is another hero from the Golden Age of<br />
Comics, The Atom (called the Atom Smasher<br />
in this film, played by Noah Centineo). In this<br />
movie he becomes gigantic to defeat his foes.<br />
In other iterations, he shrinks to micro level.<br />
Sound familiar? Yep, it’s Ant-Man.<br />
There’s nothing new with some of these<br />
heroes, but that only makes me more interested<br />
to see what becomes of the DC Universe.<br />
The Marvel Universe has been around a long<br />
time and has been delivering blockbusters<br />
in the movies for 30 years. The DC Universe<br />
has been around since the first appearance of<br />
Superman in 1938 — and it has enjoyed a good<br />
presence in Hollywood as well.<br />
There have been crossovers in these giants<br />
in comic books — Superman vs. Spiderman<br />
for example — but not yet in movies. There<br />
are talks of a crossover film. However, with<br />
Marvel films creating nearly double the revenue<br />
of DC offerings, it may be a while.<br />
Oh… was I supposed to talk about movie<br />
Black Adam? It was good (a little too long,<br />
but good). Johnson was convincing as the<br />
conflicted protagonist. The “Shazam” folklore<br />
plays nicely. The story wasn’t exactly<br />
innovative but seeing those old school heroes<br />
get a fresh makeover was worth the price of<br />
admission. The DC Universe can’t just be<br />
about Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman,<br />
and Aquaman. I’m with the audiences on this<br />
one. Let’s get all these geezers out of the nursing<br />
home and on the battlefield!<br />

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, keep the conversation light this season!<br />
Family gatherings are back for the holiday<br />
season, and this year, more than<br />
most others, you may want to keep the<br />
conversation light. Experts suggest<br />
you bring, along with pumpkin pie,<br />
some apolitical topics to the table. Buy a box<br />
of conversation starters, or just ask questions.<br />
Try asking your aunt how she met her best<br />
friend. People often ask how couples met, but<br />
in my experience, the beginnings of friendships<br />
can be even more interesting. Like,<br />
of course you befriend the girl who, when<br />
she got caught sneaking out of a window<br />
in AP Biology class to make a McDonald’s<br />
run, convinced the teacher to order a Quarter<br />
Pounder. The other kid giggling while the history<br />
teacher droned on about the War of 1812<br />
and the impressment of American seamen? A<br />
kindred spirit, surely. Maybe your best friend<br />
was the only other kid with divorced parents,<br />
or the co-worker who took up smoking just<br />
for the breaks. Friend stories tend to be funny,<br />
and contagious — you ask Uncle Fred about<br />
his friends, then he asks you, and soon the<br />
entire table is chattering. Laughter around the<br />
table is a lot more fun than arguments.<br />
You can always tell Cape May stories<br />
if your personal well runs dry. Visit MAC’s<br />
“story stops” around the grounds of the Emlen<br />
Physick Estate. Hold your phone up to the<br />
QR code and listen to “first-hand accounts<br />
of life at the Physick Estate during Victorian<br />
days.” Then, speculate together about why<br />
Dr. Physick didn’t open a practice. Are Aunt<br />
Emily and her dog are haunting the place?<br />
Test your knowledge about the Physick Estate<br />
with a scavenger hunt — pick up the map<br />
and clues at the Hill House office or the<br />
Carriage House Visitors Center. There is no<br />
charge, but donations are welcome. Brush<br />
up on your knowledge with a free virtual tour<br />
of the Estate, available at capemaymac.org.<br />
After November 18, visit MAC’s Annual Old<br />
Fashioned Christmas Exhibit in the Carriage<br />
House. Compare your family’s holiday to the<br />
traditions on display. Admission is free.<br />
Treat yourself to the professional storytelling<br />
of live theater. The East Lynne Theater<br />
Company presents “Christmas Presents from<br />
the Past’’ starting November 25 (eastlynnetheater.org).<br />
Gayle Stahlhuth brings a collection<br />
of winter stories to life, voicing 30 characters<br />
along the way. Tickets are $28. Cape May<br />
Stage offers “One Christmas Carol” starting<br />
November 16. This one-man version of the<br />
classic Dickens story is sure to put you in the<br />
holiday “spirit.” Tickets are $35 - $45. Details<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 />
My mother is planning a baby shower for<br />
me, but I have concerns. I do not want to sit<br />
on a “throne” with a paper plate with ribbons<br />
sitting on it on my head while I open presents<br />
for an hour, oohing and ahhing over the tenth<br />
package of pampers. What I want is a more<br />
elegant affair or I don’t want anything at all.<br />
She is insisting on all of that. How can I stop<br />
her? — Angry Mom-in-Waiting<br />
Dear Waiting<br />
You pay for it. Pick a restaurant like the<br />
Inn of Cape May, the Mad Batter or the Filling<br />
Station and move the party there where you<br />
can control it. In other words, you throw your<br />
own party and invite your mother to attend.<br />
You might even choose a location like Big<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
Wave Burrito — which, depending on the guest<br />
list, would be fun and BYOB. This may not<br />
go over well with your mother. The Answer<br />
Lady suggests you sit down with her and<br />
maybe pitch it as a reveal party which would<br />
most likely include male guests and not be so<br />
present driven. Bon Chance.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
Since I live in Cape May, I often have<br />
guests. My niece and her husband are the<br />
most frequent visitors. I love seeing her, but I<br />
get nothing done when she’s here. Neither she<br />
nor her husband have any interest in going to<br />
the beach, to the Washington Street Mall to<br />
browse the shops or even have lunch. Unless I<br />
lead the way, they sit around the house, and I<br />
have to work around them. I even have a pool<br />
and a lovely backyard with ample seating.<br />
That isn’t tempting to them either. How can I<br />
politely kick them out for a few hours so I have<br />
a minute to myself and can focus on what needs<br />
to be done around the house? — Distracted<br />
Dear Distracted<br />
You must be the most fascinating person<br />
in their lives given they both prefer your<br />
company over the rich natural lure of the<br />
ocean and the beach. Tell them they have to<br />
scoot for a couple hours while you attend to<br />
some business that is looming. When they<br />
resist, be firm. Tell them you can’t miss them<br />
unless they go away for a bit. Tell them you<br />
need a couple hours to get things done and<br />
you will meet them at the Lobster House at a<br />
certain time for lunch together.<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 />
DARLA is a sweet girl who loves to be with<br />
people and is eager to spend time with her<br />
humans. Her family loved her but could no<br />
longer take care of her. She is great with children<br />
and has a gentle demeanor, but lots of<br />
energy. Darla is brushing up on her manners<br />
and leash skills. She would be best with a slow<br />
introduction to dogs and cats.<br />
MYLA is a seven-year-old girl whose owner<br />
was unable to care for her. She is a bit anxious<br />
when she first meets people, but quickly<br />
adjusts once comfortable. Myla enjoys playing<br />
with toys in the yard and has good leash manners.<br />
She would benefit from being the only<br />
dog in the house but would be great in a big<br />
family with children.<br />
LIFE is a friendly and happy one-year-old boy<br />
who came to the shelter when his owner was<br />
moving and couldn’t take him along. He loves<br />
people and is eager to please his humans. Life<br />
is working on his manners and his leash skills<br />
are excellent. He is crate trained and lived<br />
with children. Life would be good with other<br />
dogs, but very hesitant with cats.<br />

Six beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />
THE CONFETTI GROUP is a quintet of captivating<br />
kittens. This group of five — four girls<br />
and one male — are both sweet and loving and<br />
ready to find their new home. They would all<br />
be good in a home with other cats, dogs and<br />
children. The Confetti group is also up to date<br />
on all vaccinations, neutered/spayed. If interested<br />
in these beauties, contact the shelter.<br />
BUDDY loves to play and keep himself busy so<br />
a crazy home with a lot to do would be best.<br />
He is a six-month-old and very healthy kitty.<br />
Buddy would do well in a home with other<br />
cats, dogs and children. He is very friendly and<br />
athletic and loves to chase down any mouse he<br />
sees. If interested in adopting Buddy, contact<br />
the shelter.<br />
JOE has been in and out of the shelter since<br />
2011. He was passed around from house to<br />
house for the longest time until the shelter<br />
took him in to keep him safe. Joe has an overactive<br />
thyroid and gets a small pill twice a day.<br />
He loves to nap in the sun and visit the shelter<br />
workers. Joe is a quiet but friendly boy who<br />
would do well in a home with other cats.<br />
