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: Lucky Bones, just over the Cape May bridge on your<br />

right. This year-round restaurant is a go-to for locals and a great place<br />

to stop for dinner after a long day of Christmas shopping.’<br />

The vibe: ’Tis the season for a jolly dining experience. Everyone<br />

working at Lucky Bones was cheerful and working hard to get people<br />

seated and fed as fast as possible. It was a busy Saturday night, so there<br />

was a wait but lucky for us, we snagged two seats at the bar to enjoy a<br />

couple of cocktails to pass the time. One the nicest things about Lucky<br />

Bones’ bar is the size of it. Their large wooden bar is the first thing you<br />

see when you step inside and there are seats surrounding three sides.<br />

You have a great view of all their taps and whatever game they have on<br />

the TVs. You also get a front-row seat for the mixing of your chosen<br />

cocktail — which never disappoint.<br />

The drinks: The aforementioned long day of Christmas shopping<br />

had Nicole and Dan quite thirsty. Nicole went for her favorite, a lemon<br />

drop martini complete with a sugar rim. Dan opted for a classic rum<br />

and coke. We luckily didn’t have to wait long to be seated, so we finished<br />

our drinks at the table. Once we got settled, Nicole and Dan also<br />

thought a round of tequila shots couldn’t hurt... it was a Saturday night<br />

after all. Two shots of Casamigos and a lime — boy did they hit the spot.<br />

The food: Our server Kadie was awesome and really knew her stuff!<br />

She went over all the specials with us and sold us on the Brussels sprout<br />

appetizer — Brussels with blue cheese, bacon and balsamic drizzle.<br />

Delicious would be an understatement. For our mains, Nicole and Dan<br />

had the same filet mignon tip sandwich with mushrooms, peppers and<br />

onions, beer cheese and a side of fries. Plates were spotless by the end<br />

and there was ZERO room for dessert. That goes against everything I’ve<br />

ever said in this column, but there was truly no room. Maybe next time.<br />

The takeaway: Lucky Bones is open for lunch and dinner, and they<br />

take reservations on Resy. If you pop in and there is a wait, they keep<br />

things moving... and you’ll have time to enjoy that drink at the bar.

Undertow<br />

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

I<br />

n Canada it’s pronounced Oondertoo.<br />

I recently discovered Letterkenny, a very<br />

funny show on Hulu about a small<br />

Canadian town and the people who live<br />

there. There is no other way to explain<br />

it. I will say I had no idea how much spending<br />

my teenage years watching every Philadelphia<br />

Flyers pre- and post-game show would<br />

inform my 50-something sense of humor.<br />

I spent the antepenultimate (next-to,<br />

next-to last) weekend of 2022 playing some<br />

swell gigs. Friday night was Lund’s Fisheries<br />

Christmas party at Mudhen in Wildwood. I’m<br />

hoping to land some regular gigs there next<br />

year so this was something of an audition<br />

for Jerry and I. No trio, which I’ll get into<br />

shortly, but we sounded good (as always), the<br />

crowd was friendly (and lubricated) and one<br />

nice lady even made a point to tell us how<br />

much she loved our Josh Ritter song, “Snow<br />

Is Gone.” THIS is why you play Josh Ritter and<br />

Avett Brothers and Zach Williams — for the<br />

2 percent. The other 98 percent you can play<br />

your Van Morrisons and whatnots. Thank<br />

you, Jeanette Dougherty for thinking of us.<br />

(Side Note: Lund’s does NOT mess around<br />

with the prizes they raffle off to their employees.<br />

Big ticket stuff. Hmm… are they hiring?)<br />

Saturday was a last-minute gig with<br />

Sugar Dave Hughes at Cold Spring Brewery in<br />

Historic Cold Spring Village in… Cold Spring.<br />

The room was packed. Until we started playing,<br />

then it emptied out. I’d have taken it personally,<br />

but I know I’m awesome, so it couldn’t<br />

have been that. The room slowly filled back up,<br />

some tasty IPAs were had, and they collected<br />

a box full of toys for the Lower Township toy<br />

drive. Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.<br />

And as we speak (around 2pm Sunday<br />

after that incredible Justin Fields run against<br />

the Eagles) I’m prepping for my second Terry<br />

& Jerry gig of the weekend at Washington<br />

Inn for Family Promise of Cape May, who<br />

shelter the homeless. It’s pretty awesome.<br />

Laurie Johnson brought us on board, whom<br />

I’ve known since directing her son, Alex, as<br />

Tiny Tim in Scrooge. I don’t want to say how<br />

long ago that was, but Alex could now play<br />

Bob Cratchit. Thanks, Laurie. You can accept<br />

my Facebook friend request any time now. I<br />

sent it in 2006.<br />

These gigs supported not only some<br />

excellent causes, they also supported me. At a<br />

very important time. So my thanks are sincere<br />

and not the sarcastic toss-offs you’re used to.<br />

Why were these gigs duos instead of<br />

trios, you might ask? Our third part, my wife<br />

Cathrine, took a spill last Sunday and, in<br />

layman’s terms, completely f*cked her shoulder.<br />

Dislocated. Fractured. Cape Regional to<br />

Cooper. Surgery. A week in the hospital.<br />

It remained dislocated for<br />

about 28 hours (10am Sunday to<br />

around 2pm Monday) because<br />

the little ball at the top of your<br />

Humerus (arm bone) that goes<br />

into the little pocket (rotator cuff)<br />

in your shoulder that makes it<br />

a shoulder, was snapped off so<br />

they couldn’t reduce (replace) it.<br />

Side note: I feel like a decent percentage<br />

of being a doctor is just<br />

knowing how to say stuff, but I<br />

digress. Cath was in agony. And<br />

if you ever want to feel completely<br />

useless, stand next to a bed holding<br />

your wife’s hand while she<br />

shrieks in pain. Good stuff.<br />

Over the next 30-ish hours<br />

I did what I could to keep her<br />

spirits up as she drifted in and<br />

out. I eventually came back home<br />

for work and, by the time you<br />

read this, she should be home<br />

recuperating. The rehab process<br />

will be lengthy, but I expect her to<br />

tackle it like she tackles me when<br />

I forget to leave the seat down.<br />

Aside from the 100s of people<br />

who swamped our Facebook<br />

pages, many others have stepped<br />

up with food, gift cards and cold<br />

hard cash. They’ll probably be<br />

mad at me for mentioning it. But<br />

that’s okay. I’m used to it. Thank<br />

you Erin and Larry Beaver, Mike<br />

O’Brien, Cindy Benigno, Mary<br />

Beth Toewe, Sue Jordan (whom<br />

I did NOT see at Jester’s), Dawn<br />

Aftanis, Jen Wagner, Monica<br />

Jude, Janet D’Aurizio, Cape<br />

Island Foods and anyone else<br />

I’ve forgotten who Venmo-ed or<br />

dropped off a casserole. It was a<br />

fraught several days, but we love<br />

and appreciate all of you.<br />

I tried in vain to keep most<br />

of them from doing anything,<br />

but swiftly discovered you can’t<br />

keep good people from doing<br />

good things. Once we have an<br />

idea what her post-surgery plan<br />

is and what our out-of-pocket<br />

looks like, I may or may not start<br />

a GoFundMe. The grim reality<br />

is, famous as I am, I’m not very<br />

rich. I am also virtually unemployed.<br />

And, while I have a very<br />

promising interview lined up, our<br />

income will soon be shrinking.<br />

So… here we are. We can’t wait<br />

to get her home.<br />

Last time I saw Terry O’Neil<br />

two years ago he thought he was<br />

dying. That’s why it was so nice<br />

to see him at Cold Spring Brewery<br />

Saturday night.<br />

I caught Ed McDonough’s<br />

latest “A Few Guys, A Few Songs,<br />

A Few Stories” and was unsurprised<br />

to hear that Cousin Ray<br />

Heslip saw Wagner in concert.<br />

Stopped in Jester’s after a gig,<br />

wondered who was playing, then<br />

heard Al Olivero’s voice about 20<br />

feet from the front door. It was Al.<br />

Al was playing.<br />

How nice is Steve Bistak<br />

of Cape Harbor Shell? So nice<br />

that, even though I bust his<br />

chops in here regularly, he still<br />

recommended me for a gig over<br />

stuffed olives in the Brown Room<br />

to the owners of Duffinetti’s in<br />

Wildwood. Honestly, you give<br />

Steve Bistak enough stuffed<br />

olives, he’ll tell you anything.<br />

Door-to-door magazine<br />

pick-up service has returned at<br />

Evolution Salon & Spa in North<br />

Cape May. Just in time for<br />

Christmas!<br />

With that blocked punt/<br />

scoop/almost first down against<br />

the Giants, Eagles P (punter for<br />

you non-sports geeks) Arryn<br />

Siposs joined John Teltschik on<br />

the all-time Tough Punters list.<br />

(Teltschik effectively ended his<br />

career making a tackle on a punt<br />

return.)<br />

Next week will likely be<br />

my last Undertow, so be sure to<br />

check in as I spill ALL the tea<br />

and produce ALL the receipts<br />

on those who have wronged me!<br />

BWAHAHA! (Lol jk, it’ll probably<br />

be my usual, weepy, end-of-year<br />

stuff only 10 percent more poignant<br />

because it’s probably my<br />

last but read it anyway.)<br />

Come see me on Christmas<br />

at the Brown Room, 12-4pm, with<br />

Ray Palmer. Hope my Christmas<br />

shopping done by then…<br />

’Til next week, don’t get<br />

Bird Droppings<br />

Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />

It seems like only a few weeks ago that<br />

we were poised for another glorious<br />

autumn watching migrating hawks fly<br />

by. And it was, 13 weeks to be exact, but<br />

the hawks have passed with the season.<br />

Where once as many as 170 eager hawk<br />

watchers crowded the hawk watch platform<br />

at Cape May Point State Park, now there are<br />

a handful of hopeful die-hard hawk watchers<br />

and a few casual visitors. The official count<br />

is over, the year’s tally of 45,500 migrating<br />

hawks over. Not a bad year by modern standards<br />

and a new record set for Bald Eagle,<br />

which are still migrating through. There were<br />

five on December 4 along with a handful of<br />

Red-taileds, one Cooper’s Hawk, one Sharpshinned<br />

and perhaps 100 Turkey Vultures,<br />

which put on quite a show, swirling in Kettles,”<br />

then streaming west. Despite the September<br />

through November parameters of the official<br />

count, some hawks will trickle through into<br />

January. Birds like Red-tailed Hawk and adult<br />

male Northern Harrier (a.k.a. Gray Ghost).<br />

A dump of snow on New England and<br />

New York state will send hawks south in<br />

search of bare ground. Bald Eagles? Any time<br />

for this grand bird of prey. It takes 5-7 years<br />

for breeds to reach breeding age and until then<br />

they are nomadic, go where they find open<br />

water. A northwest wind any month of the<br />

year will ferry them to Cape May.<br />

Your best bet to see migrating birds is<br />

at the Avalon Sea Watch between 8th and<br />

9th street. Counts are conducted through<br />

December and thousands of sea ducks and<br />

Northern Gannet may pass in a few hours.<br />

Seabird migration extends into February,<br />

when the last migrating Red-throated Loons<br />

pass. And when the Great Lakes freeze, it<br />

sends a wave of hardy diving ducks and grebes<br />

in search of open water. To avoid the cold,<br />

drive to the west end of Sunset Boulevard and<br />

scan the water around the concrete ship where<br />

sea birds like loons and scoters concentrate.<br />

Or take the ferry to Lewes, Delaware. Great<br />

Cormorants often perch on the breakwater.<br />

On your crossing you will see Northern<br />

Gannet, large white birds with black wing<br />

tips. Or all brown birds with pointed wings<br />

and faces that fly and glide in tandem. These<br />

are immature gannets. Gulls? Yes, some,<br />

including the delicate tern-like Bonaparte’s<br />

Gull. Laughing Gull? You may find a lingering<br />

bird, but it will be a brown-backed immature.<br />

On the jetties you may find tiny sandpipers<br />

scrambling above the waves. These are Purple<br />

Sandpipers, a hardy rock piper that winters as<br />

far north as Greenland.<br />

The Golden Globe nominations came<br />

out the other day, and I’m still confused<br />

by the whole process. There<br />

seem to be more scattegories than<br />

categories. There is one show that got<br />

two nominations that I can agree with.<br />

Netflix’s Wednesday focuses on the daughter<br />

from the Addams Family. The show is a<br />

reimagining of the character and the show.<br />

OK, well… maybe it’s not such a reimagining<br />

of the character — but the actor in the lead<br />

deserves her Golden Globe nomination. The<br />

second was for best television comedy or<br />

musical — though I wouldn’t call it either (see<br />

what I mean by Golden Globe scattegories?).<br />

Jenna Ortega plays the stoic lead without<br />

breaking character. The 20-year-old has been<br />

in dozens of films and TV shows, but this is<br />

her breakout role.<br />

I’m a bigger fan of Addams family folklore<br />

than the show or movies. I adored the<br />

Broadway musical — shout out to Joe Carlucci<br />

who played Gomez in the South Jersey Ritz<br />

Theatre production a few years back. Born<br />

The Movie Column<br />

By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />

from cartoons created by Charles Addams for<br />

The New Yorker in 1938, the show first aired<br />

in 1964. Back then, Wednesday was quirky like<br />

the rest of her family, putting younger brother<br />

Pugsley in precarious situations.<br />

The character is the brand-new focal<br />

point in this show. The challenge was to create<br />

someone who does more than sit her<br />

brother in an electric chair “for the fun of<br />

it.” The trickier part was to also capture her<br />

original essence while making her the lead.<br />

Ortega was almost single-handedly responsible<br />

for the success of definitively clearing<br />

these hurdles. The writers can certainly take<br />

their credit, but she really pulled it off. And<br />

her trippy dance in one of the later episodes is<br />

getting all kinds of deserved buzz online!<br />

The story from the first season lasts 10<br />

episodes. It’s a fun drama mystery where<br />

Wednesday is sent to yet another boarding<br />

school. She escaped the last one, and it looks<br />

like she may escape this one. But then mysterious<br />

murders arise, and of course this piques<br />

her interest. Toward one of the mid-season<br />

episodes, the show starts to feel like a<br />

teen-centered Archie comic book adaptation.<br />

But it rebounds nicely and comes back to its<br />

center… it’s kooky, spooky, ooky center.<br />

Be the first to email flixyoumissed@<br />

gmail.com with the answer to this trivia question<br />

for a gift card: in one of the best rhymes<br />

The Activity Column<br />

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, save family the trouble and be prepared!<br />

It’s the time of year when the most raucous<br />

debate I want to have with my<br />

family is whether Die Hard is a Christmas<br />

movie. I’m team “yes” — the action takes<br />

place on Christmas Eve, the soundtrack<br />

is full of holiday music, and there’s a character<br />

named Holly. My siblings disagree with me<br />

on this, as on most things, and yet, I would<br />

do anything for these people. That’s why I’m<br />

planning my own (hopefully far off) funeral.<br />

It sounds morbid, but it’s an appropriate<br />

time to get this chore out of the way.<br />

As Dickens noted, Christmas is a time of<br />

ghosts, of “the past, present and future swirling<br />

around us in the dead of the year.” And<br />

this unpleasant task is nothing in comparison<br />

to what John McClane does for his family.<br />

He falls down the stairs under the weight of<br />

a large terrorist. He walks barefoot over broken<br />

glass. He gets shot in the shoulder and<br />

jumps from a burning building — all before<br />

the sequel. Surely, I can make a list of my final<br />

wishes and file it with my will.<br />

We’ve all seen grieving families scramble<br />

to arrange a funeral, and we’ve seen them<br />

quarrel over what the departed would want.<br />

Spare your family this burden. If you think it’s<br />

hard to put your ideas down on paper, imagine<br />

how hard it will be for those left behind. In<br />

most families, it will come down to one person<br />

making the hard decisions and the rest of<br />

the group telling them they did it wrong.<br />

There is comfort in the expected. The<br />

folks at Spilker Funeral Home (spilkerfuner-<br />

alhome.com) have a website offering tips on<br />

planning ahead. You can pay for all or part<br />

of your funeral in advance. If you’d like to be<br />

cremated, look into the rules. Ashes must be<br />

scattered at least three nautical miles out to<br />

sea, for example, and some national parks<br />

require a permit. Consider drafting your obituary,<br />

especially if you have relationships that<br />

defy easy characterization. Talk to the people<br />

you’re considering naming as guardians of<br />

your minor children, and plan for your pets.<br />

Some requests are simple — maybe you<br />

don’t want people to wear black, or you want<br />

to wear your Eagles jersey for eternity. Other<br />

requests are less simple. A man named John<br />

Bowman left a trust to keep his house running,<br />

with the table set for supper, in case he<br />

was reincarnated. Andre Tchaikowsky left his<br />

body to science, except for his skull, which he<br />

hoped would be used in “Hamlet.” Hotelier<br />

Leona Helmsley left a multi-million-dollar<br />

bequest to her dog. Your survivors may not be<br />

able to provide exactly what you want, but you<br />

can give them a place to start.<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 />

I am temporarily moving into an<br />

apartment that does not permit pets. I thought<br />

it would be a nice to give my mother my threefoot<br />

Red Tail Boa for Christmas. Our dog died<br />

this year and I know she’d like another pet. She<br />

loves animals and he’s no trouble at all. My<br />

girlfriend says I’m crazy and thinking only of<br />

myself. What do you think? And if I don’t have<br />

her take care of it, what do I do with him? He’s<br />

really just a baby. — Snake Charmer<br />

Dear Snake<br />

A charmer you are not. Christmas present<br />

indeed. Your girlfriend is dead on. Just be<br />

honest with your mother and ask her if she<br />

would mind taking care of Boa for a little<br />

while. She’ll no doubt say yes. Otherwise,<br />

The Answer Lady<br />

Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />

contact Cape May Veterinary Hospital and<br />

see if they have any suggestions. Meanwhile,<br />

go to Victorious or Queen May and buy<br />

her a nice piece of jewelry for Christmas. It<br />

might make her more inclined to accept your<br />

proposal, but it is also obviously an overdue<br />

acknowledgement that she is a good mother.<br />

Dear Answer Lady<br />

I have been trying to find Mr. Right<br />

online. I am very careful not to meet anyone<br />

until I find out as much about them as I can.<br />

One man I liked has been calling and texting<br />

me for two weeks. We finally agreed to meet<br />

at the Cape May Tree-Lighting ceremony a<br />

couple weeks ago, but two days before that he<br />

called me. We were having a nice chat about<br />

sending Christmas cards for the holidays. He<br />

said, “I designed a Christmas greeting card<br />

just for you and I think you’ll be impressed.<br />

I’m sending it to you now.” Well, you can guess<br />

what it was. I cut off all communication and<br />

skipped the tree lighting. Should I have said<br />

something? — Not Impressed<br />

Dear Not Impressed<br />

No, he got the message. Will he learn<br />

from it? Probably not. If he hasn’t gotten that<br />

message by now, he never will unless he’s<br />

under 20. Maybe down the road your online<br />

efforts will pan out. In the meantime, put<br />

yourself in the company of people who share<br />

your values. Get involved in the community.<br />

The Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts is always<br />

looking for volunteers. As are Cape May Stage<br />

and East Lynne Theater Company.<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 />

CARMINE is an adorable, four-year-old mini<br />

doodle. He came to the shelter because he is<br />

fearful of men and can snap — only four times<br />

in four years. You’d never believe it after meeting<br />

him — he is extremely friendly and playful<br />

and requires a slow introduction to men. A<br />

woman owner who is patients with his anxiety<br />

would be best for Carmine.<br />

NALA is a happy and social two-year-old girl.<br />

She has a lot of energy and loves to play fetch<br />

and run around the yard. Once she works off<br />

that energy, she relaxes easily and loves to be<br />

pet. Nala’s leash-walking skills are improving<br />

daily, and she enjoys investigating her surroundings.<br />

She has lived with children before<br />

but needs a slow introduction to cats.<br />

CRANBERRY came to the shelter as a stray,<br />

but she is full of life! She enjoys being around<br />

people and going for long walks with her<br />

human — her leash skills are excellent. Cranberry<br />

is still in the early stages of training and<br />

needs a home that will work on her puppy<br />

manners. She’ll thrive as the only pet and with<br />

older children.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />

Three beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />

HELEN was a stray cat living outside and<br />

somehow lost her vision. She does pretty<br />

well getting around and cautiously navigates<br />

rooms. Helen’s hearing is great, but loud<br />

noises startle her. She’d be best living with<br />

only cats and needs a safe and cozy indoor life.<br />

If interested in taking this true rescue home,<br />

contact the shelter.<br />

FLOYD was an indoor/outdoor feral cat for<br />

three years. He came to the shelter when his<br />

owner moved and left him behind. Floyd is<br />

very affectionate and friendly. He would be<br />

good in a home with other cats and children.<br />

He is also up to date on all vaccinations and<br />

neutered. If interested in taking Floyd home,<br />

contact the shelter.<br />

MYSTIQUE is a 12-week-old ball of energy!<br />

She was found near the dumpster at the shelter<br />

in the rain, malnourished and shivering.<br />

Mystique needs a warm and loving home to<br />

truly take care of her. She’s ready for a busy<br />

and happy home with lots of toys to play with.<br />

Mystique would be good in a home with other<br />

cats, dogs and children.
