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 />

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 />

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.
