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. Everything is a little different, but 

getting a little less different now that we have outdoor dining. 

But, in the interests of the public, we are still getting takeout 

from our local restaurants to give you the gastronomic lowdown. 

The place: The YB, niftily situated on Beach Avenue, between Perry 

and Jackson. 

The transformation: In this interesting new COVID-infected 

world, there’s at least one silver lining, and that’s the explosion of 

outdoor dining possibilities in America’s Original Seaside Resort. 

Liked many other places, The YB now has seats on the sidewalk, thanks 

to some forward thinking by the city council. 

The company: Jack’s dear friend from New York City, Lawrence 

Green, joined him and Diane for dinner. Since leaving the city to run the 

food and beverage operation on Congress Hall’s Grand Lawn (see above 

reference to outdoor dining explosion), Lawrence has been a somewhat 

constant third wheel to Jack and Diane’s bicycle made for two. It’s a 

good thing he’s decent company. 

The conversation: All Jack and Lawrence ever talk about is 

restaurants (with the occasional interruption to discuss British soccer 

or the New York Yankees). Diane, naturally, is always thrilled by this. 

The toast: Lawrence showed his usefulness by leaving our table 

and heading to Collier’s, where he purchased two bottles of sparkling 

rosé and a couple of those ready-to-drink Manhattan mixes (another 

byproduct of COVID). We clinked glasses with the lovely Brandon 

Stickle, who’s running The YB these days, along with chef Peter 

Gingerelli. Diane desisted, as part of her dry June. 

The food: As Lawrence headed off for Collier’s, he asked us to order 

him pork belly to start and Atlantic cod for main. Which is exactly what 

Jack had planned. Instead, Jack got tuna tacos to start and then decided 

he couldn’t resist the cod, either. Diane left out the starter and went 

straight for the yellowfin tuna. The food, as always, pleased the palates. 

The conclusion: Outdoor dining really is the way to go and we 

hope that the city council will seriously look into incorporating at least 

some of the setups available to restaurants right now. In the meantime, 

cheers and don’t forget to mask up!

New Show At SOMA 

The NewArt Gallery announces third art exhibition of the 2020 season 

Helen Mary Ron 


SOMA NewArt Gallery announces its 

third art exhibition of the 2020 season, 

featuring three regional solo artists and 

their work. “Outside/Inside,” by Greg 

Bennett, “Time & Solidarity,” by Jim 

Inzero, and “Forward Reflections,” by Penelope 

El-Dalati will be on view at SOMA NewArt 

Gallery July 11 through August 9. 

Bennett has traveled and painted throughout 

the Mid-Atlantic states and his paintings 

are mechanical while still revealing emotional 

views of his subjects and life. Inzero returns 

for his seventh exhibit at SOMA and his collection 

of new encaustic paintings harps on the 

notions of temporality and oneness. El-Dalati’s 

collection focuses on finding inner peace 

during times of so much conflict. 

SOMA is located at 31 Perry Street in 

Carpenters Square Mall, Cape May. There will 

be no opening artist receptions for the 2020 

season due to COVID-19. 

For additional information, please contact 

the gallery by emailing stevesomagallery@ 

gmail.com. 

“Peaks and Valleys” by Jim Inzero and more can be seen at the gallery beginning July 11.

Pinez, Conner, Swain, Ed 

Undertow 

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

Salutations, nerds. And welcome to 

another lesson on “How to Write 

1200 Words and Say Nothing.” Beard 

& Weight Watch: I’ve reached Level 

9 Beard Insecurity. Meaning, does 

it look full and distinguished like a founding 

father, or does it look like a muskrat curled 

up and died on my face? I’m torn between 

impulses to shave it all off but also to never 

shave again. Such conflict! I think I’ll let it 

live… for now. 

Conversely, I’m pretty pissed off about 

my weight this week. I’m still holding steady 

at 234, but after a couple of grueling wait 

shifts at Exit Zero Filling Station Wednesday 

and Thursday, I’d finally dipped under 230 

(229.5) for the first time in…. I don’t know 

how long, but it’s a long time. In that context, 

234 is kind of a drag, but on the bright side, 

I’ve kept 240 in the rearview for several consecutive 

weeks now and, most importantly, 

I’ve made Jack Wright the fattest guy working 

at Exit Zero. 

In that brief, shining 5-minutes around 

1130pm Thursday when I was 229.5, I was 

pondering what I’d done to get so low when it 

dawned on me; I had dinner with Tim Joyce at 

EZFS (the Burger Bowl, delicious) on Monday 

after our canceled Rusty Nail gig (fire alarm, 

all is well and they were back in operation the 

following day), yada yada yada, half a Wawa 

breaded chicken sandwich and a bowl of stale 

Herr’s after work on Thursday. (The sandwich 

and chips were my first carbs of the week 

and sooooo gross and sooooo delicious.) My 

only food between those meals was a jar 

of cashews. I also took nearly 40,000 steps 

during my two wait shifts. (Just typing all that 

made me feel a little faint…) Anyway, I’ll take 

it as a positive that I have to remind myself to 

eat every couple of days. 

And those wait shifts were quite fun, 

if your definition of “fun” includes sweating 

your balls off for 13 hours, carrying 10 

miles worth of hot ass bowls and plates and 

your inner thighs chafing so bad they look 

like a baboon’s ass. (Where do I pick up my 

Pulitzer?) Most days I genuinely enjoy being 

a server at Cape May’s hippest outdoor gas 

station Indian restaurant. Other days I’m a 

miserable prick who if he has to take one 

more step his feet are going to fall off. 

Somewhere in this madness I met Regan, 

Brent and Jody. As the wait for food stretched 

out a bit, they stayed cool with an assortment 

of Whiskey Punches and Cape May Brewing 

Co. beers. And when their food arrived, Regan 

could not stop marveling at our seven-inch 

weiner. (Okay, that’s a fifth-grade level joke, 

but also a great opportunity to tell you the 

New 

Gluten-free 

options!

People keep telling me how 

much they like the outgoing 

phone message I co-wrote and 

recorded. This really puts the 

pressure on as I have to record 

a new one this week. I can only 

hope it lives up to your lofty 

standards. (Also, I’ll write and 

record one for your business 

for… $100? 50? Ok, $20. “Hi, I’m 

Terry O’Brien. You may remember 

me from such voicemails as 

Exit Zero Filling Station and Exit 

Zero Filling Station Part 2…” 

Incredibly Good Person of 

the Week: On delivery last week, 

I stopped into Ostara’s for a cup 

out on delivery and, although 

they play 200% too much reggae 

and once an hour you have to 

sit through what is generally the 

cringe volcano of “now a song 

by a local Cape May artist”, it’s 

been pretty great. While I wish 

they played more newer stuff, I 

love having to ask my Google, 

“What song is this?” I was also 

never much of a Doo-Wop guy, 

but Eddie Castegnetta’s oldies 

show was a goddamn delight. 

I couldn’t name three of the 50 

songs I heard, but it was just 

great. Also? “60 Minute Man” 

was waaaaaaaaay ahead of its 

time. So dirty. 

I think I wrote about my 

of coffee (it’s also where I got new Kobalt cordless electric 

my nifty Fourth of July mask so 

I could show my true patriotism 

while being told what to do by my 

overreaching government) and 

ran into Cape May’s city manager 

Jerry Inderwies, Jr. Since he’s 

there literally every time I stop 

in, I first asked, “Don’t you have 

a job?” and then insisted on paying 

for his and his partner who 

shall remain nameless because I 

don’t know his name’s coffee. No, 

lawnmower. I absolutely love it, 

but the battery doesn’t last long 

enough to cut my yard on one 

charge, so I bought a back-up 

battery. $150! The damn mower 

cost $250! I was venting to EZFS 

neighbor Fay Kara (a fellow 

Kobalt user) who said, “Why 

didn’t you just get the weed 

whacker? It costs about $150 and 

comes with a battery.” I…. just… 

I… dammit! 

don’t thank me. I don’t do it for I think the Washington 

the accolades. I do it out of pure Redskins should absolutely 

altruism because I’m such a good 

person. I really, really am. 

I’ve used just about every 

change their name... to the D.C. 

Redskins. 

My wife Cathrine says to me, 

available men’s room along “You should have let your hair 

my 50-mile delivery route (all 

depends on if I’ve eaten breakfast, 

how much coffee I’ve had, 

any ruffage in my previous night’s 

dinner and other factors you now 

wish you didn’t know about) and 

I’ve come to the conclusion that 

the Shell station just over the 

bridge has the highest quality TP 

you’ll find in any of the terlets in 

the seven territories I cover. The 

rest room is also always neat and 

tidy. Not, like, eat off the floor 

clean. But perfectly acceptable 

for a road side gas station. So, 

grow out during the shutdown” I 

said, “I did.” 

I just finished Armada by 

Ernest Cline. It is equal parts 

Ender’s Game (my personal favorite 

book) and The Last Starfighter 

(an underseen 80s gem) and 

trades in the same Boss Level 

nostalgia as Ready Player One, his 

previous book. It’s not great. I’m 

not sure it’s even good. But it 

took a week to read in the bathroom 

(what’s with all the potty 

stuff this week?) and I didn’t hate 

myself when I finished it, so… 

Kudos Jerry and Crew on a job yeah.

Under our current conditions, I knew 

this day might come! I’m going to 

review the same show for a second 

time. The show is Fringe, and 

I reviewed its first season a few 

weeks ago here. Now, I’ve watched the entire 

series — 100 episodes over five years. A Fringe 

bender, you might say! More than 4,000 minutes 

or 30+ movies! 

The show is science fiction. Recall from 

my last review that Fringe is about FBI’s Fringe 

Division investigating paranormal activity — 

like X-Files. Not into that show or sci-fi? That’s 

okay. I’m not a die-hard fan either. My wife 

loves the genre though and if you think you’re 

going to watch what equates to 30+ movies 

alone, think again! 

We are both die-hard fans of good writing, 

excellent character development, interesting 

plot turns and engaging storylines. 

What started out very much like X-Files — 

individual episodes about freakish mysteries 

— turned into a whole subculture that kept 

fans engaged. This fan base was so engaged 

The Movie Column 

By arts columnist Tom Sims 

that when FOX wanted to cancel after a third 

season, there was a revolt. The final two seasons 

added were among the best! 

Crossing alternate universes and changing 

reality was just the beginning. From there, 

we jumped timelines, erased characters from 

history and saw the rise of what appeared 

to be a few benevolent oddball observers to 

become an imperial empire of mind-bending 

dictators. 

On a mirror Earth, we meet all the counterparts 

to characters on this side. The main 

characters are a mad scientist (John Noble), 

his genius son (Joshua Jackson) and an FBI 

agent with untapped special abilities (Anna 

Torv). These are complex and engaging characters 

— counterparts overall are played 

beautifully differently. 

Over there, the primary mode of air transportation 

is zeppelins, their Statue of Liberty 

is cast in what appears to be bronze and the 

twin towers still stand. Newark’s Penn Station 

is also called Springsteen Station. There’s no 

deep dive into these differences, all we know 

is that this other world is falling apart. They’ve 

looked toward us to determine they must 

destroy us to save themselves. 

Far out? You bet, but so relatable! Did you 

ever have deja vu? Or ask yourself, “What if 

I had done things differently — could my life 

have changed?” That’s a part of the appeal. 

Did they fill every gap? Not really. Did they 

engage us enough to suspend disbelief and 

stay on the edge of your seat? Absolutely!

The Old Fogey 

Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur 

Say this aloud: “Canadian.” And then 

again, adding “I am a…” at the beginning. 

How does it make you feel? 

Proud? Ashamed? Slightly tingly? I’ll 

wager it made you feel less unclean 

than if you had just said “I am a Wildwooder,” 

though, so don’t you go judging. 

I ask because I was responsible for finding 

and naming Canada, and so feel some regret. 

Not that I don’t think that country is not a fine 

one – it is magnificent, wild, safe, prosperous 

and still does not have a majority of French 

people living there (now, what was my very 

funny joke about the difference between the 

French and toast, again… damn, I always forget 

the punchline..) but yet somehow, to say “I 

am Canadian” is met with at best politeness 

and all too often with tittering behind the 

hand. And I fear that I gave the country too 

NICE a name. 

Of course I blame those wretched 

Scotchmen, a dozen of whom were with me 

when I discovered Canada. We were a slightly 

military expedition, in that we carried enough 

beads and trinkets to purchase any amount of 

land from it’s rightful, erm, original inhabitants, 

and enough muskets to encourage those 

natives to accept the deal before the terms 

changed and they would no longer be offered as 

favourable an exchange rate as 100,000 acres 

for a tiny tin hatchet and a pocket mirror. 

So we had just arrived in what was to be 

Canada, after mistakenly taking a left after El 

Dorado (yes, it was THAT El Dorado, the lost 

fabled city of gold. We buried it before we left, 

so those infernal wandering Spaniard would 

not find and steal it, but then the Young Albert 

of the time ate the map and it remains lost forever 

– which is rather unfortunate, given my 

rough calculation that it consisted of approximately 

30 million tons of gold). 

Anyway, we stumbled upon a mountainous 

paradise, with rivers full of leaping 

salmon, the air so thick with game birds that a 

single shot into the sky brought down enough 

to feast on for a year, and we decided to go 

ahead and keep it. My Scotch guide, sensing 

that he might be in for a share of this vast land, 

was overly solicitous, as are all that grasping 

race when they sense profit, and every time I 

went to do something, would shout “Can ah 

dae that fur ye?” which roughly translates to 

an offer of assistance. So often did I hear that 

guttural phrase that when it came to naming 

the country, it was all I had in my head, 

and “Can Ah Dae” became in time Canada. 

And I think that helpful tone has damned the 

nation’s reputation. If only I had made it a more 

negative “Cannae Dae,” they would be better 

regarded today.

How do you reward the pets that are 

part of your family? Bring them along 

on your Cape May vacation! 

Americans have loved pets 

since our beginning. At first, colonists 

brought cats and dogs with them to 

be working animals, and adopted squirrels, 

raccoons and songbirds as comfort animals, 

even dressing them in costume and including 

them in portraits. Most American presidents 

kept pets, both for work and comfort. George 

Washington had a hound named Sweetlips 

and John Adams a mutt named Satan. James 

Madison’s parrot Polly outlived him but kept 

his secrets. Lincoln’s “Fido” popularized the 

name. Theodore Roosevelt and his six kids 

kept a menagerie including lizards, guinea pigs 

and snakes, along with several mutts. Troubled 

presidents have used their dogs as a distraction 

— scandal-plagued Warren G. Harding 

brought his Laddie Boy to all events, including 

golfing trips and Cabinet meetings, where he 

had his own chair. FDR defended his dog Fala 

from accusations that president had used a 

The Activity Column 

Catherine Dugan’s guide to staying in... this week, spend time with your pets! 

Navy destroyer to transport him at taxpayer 

expense, saying, “I have a right to resent, to 

object, to libelous statements about my dog.” 

The Checkers speech prolonged Nixon’s career. 

Clinton’s Socks was a rare White House cat to 

gain fame, and Barney softened the image of 

George W. Bush at the start of the Iraq War. 

Currently, about 60% percent of Americans 

have a pet, and in the time of coronavirus, 

our dogs and cats have gone back to work. 

THE LOCALS 

They let the kids read to them, interrupt boring 

video meetings, alert us to the arrival of grocery 

deliveries, model proper stretching, and 

serve as heating pads for sore muscles. Dogs 

make sure we get out of the house with daily 

walks, and rarely object to a second, third, or 

fourteenth trip around the block — all this in 

addition to their usual duties of keeping blood 

pressure down and preventing us from talking 

to ourselves. 

We’re still learning about the risks of coronavirus 

in pets, so be careful if you bring your 

pet to town. It seems that we’re more likely 

to sicken them than they are to sicken us. 

Cape May already requires that you clean up 

after your dogs, keep them leashed and off 

the beaches and Washington Street Mall, but 

you should also keep them away from strangers, 

just in case. Traditionally, some Cape May 

retailers are pet-friendly, allowing dogs inside 

and offering shared water bowls, but use caution 

during these scary times. Be prepared to 

comfort them through the unofficial fireworks 

celebrations that seem to be happening nightly.

Bird Droppings 

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

Danielle’s Bachelorette Party 


As I write this, we are still a week out 

from the 4th of July, by human standards, 

the beginning of Summer. 

Sorry humans, according to the natural 

calendar, it is already fall. 

The first southbound birds are passing 

now. Sunday, June 28 was hot and sultry, 

with dew points high. Monday, June 29 saw 

diminished humidity as a cold front cleared 

our area — the first cold front of fall. It ferried 

legions of Short-billed Dowitcher and a 

few Lesser Yellowlegs into our region. These 

northern breeders have already completed 

their breeding cycle and are heading for winter 

quarters. Offshore fishermen may notice 

wedges of Eastern Willet driving south. This 

common salt marsh breeder is also wrapping 

up the nesting season. Leaving young to fend 

for themselves, the adults set out for South 

America — young later follow. This staggered 

strategy eases congestion along prime 

migratory routes, and it is followed by most 

shorebird species. Another Willet subspecies, 

the Western Willet, breeds in the prairie 

pothole region of the Great Plains. Taller and 

more Godwit-like, these western birds fly east 

to the Atlantic coast in July where they can be 

seen foraging in the wave zone of Cape May 

beaches. This subspecies does winter in North 

America, found coastally from New Jersey to 

Mexico. 

In a few days you will notice that the volume 

of swallows over swimming pools and 

bayberry thickets will grow in volume. Here 

in our town of Mauricetown, Purple Martin 

are already gathering in their pre-migration 

concentrations — not the hundreds and 

thousands that will festoon the marsh grass 

along the Maurice River in July and August, 

but 10-30 per evening are gathering on the 

Methodist Church steeple in town. In a few 

weeks, southbound Yellow Warblers will be 

distributed along the Cape after every passing 

cold front, the vanguard for Cape May’s celebrated 

fall songbird migration, which peaks 

over Labor Day weekend. 

If you want to pick up a migratory timetable 

for the comings and goings of birds, 

check out “The Birds off Cape May” by David 

Sibley. It deserves a place on every resident’s 

bookshelf right beside your “Sibley Guide to 

Birds,”— the gold standard in field guides. 

So, if you want to know how to tell the 

difference between an Eastern or Western 

Willet, turn to your Sibley. I do for identification 

tips and the natural history. Both books 

and many more are available at Cape May Bird 

Observatory. 




The Answer Lady 

Wise answers to perplexing questions 


Hasson family 

The Answer Lady invites inquiries 

from gentle readers on all manner of 

relationship quandaries, matters of 

the heart and ethics. Sit back, enjoy 

a cup of coffee and contemplate the 

wisdom herein: 

Dear Answer Lady 

During the COVID/Stay-at-Home confinement, 

my husband ate non-stop. Literally, 

his head was in the refrigerator every two 

hours. At the same time, I took great care to 

watch everything I ate. We both had doctor’s 

appointments last week and I lectured him that 

now there would be a reckoning for his undisciplined 

behavior. Well, there was. He LOST 

10 lbs. while eating everything in sight — I 

GAINED six lbs. Tell me how this is fair in any 

universe. He’s held it over me ever since. Tell me 

why I shouldn’t go on strike and let him make 

his own dinner, while I sit in a corner chomping 

on celery sticks? — Weight Watcher 

Dear Watcher 

For goodness sake, let him take up the 

burden a few days of the week. One compromise 

would be to get take-out a couple of times 

a week — you can each get what you want. 

George’s has some wonderful Greek offerings 

that are healthy and filling. As to the weight 

gain/loss, it sounds like a metabolic issue. A 

nice, long walk will resolve that. Get your takeout, 

picnic in Cape May Point State Park and 

then take a romantic walk on the beach to keep 

fit and feel happy. Happy thoughts make for a 

healthy body. 

Dear Answer Lady 

My foursome has played golf every 

Wednesday at Cape May National for years. 

We are all competitive and usually have a bet 

going on every hole and often press — enter 

sudden death — when we think we can gain 

an upper hand. Last week, I twisted my ankle 

and one of the more competitive players said, 

“Wow, that looks painful. How ‘bout we press 

this next hole?” You’ve got to be kidding me. I 

said, yes, not wanting to look like a wuss, and 

won. But still, was that right? — Good Sport 

Dear Sport 

You were indeed a good sport. Your only 

option is to be on the lookout when your 

“friend” finds himself in a weak position. For 

example — when he’s looking for a “gimme” 

on the putting green. Or the ploy of asking for 

strokes — with the idea being his game isn’t 

up to snuff. Golfers often use these edges to 

their advantage, especially when there is a bet 

in play. You might want to get to Cape May 

National a little early to hit some balls and 

practice your short game.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal 

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

SCARLET is an energetic, young pup who 

came to the shelter as a stray. She is working 

on her leash manners and learning other 

behavioral cues to manage her energy. She 

loves chasing balls, squeaky toys and stuffed 

toys in the yard. Scarlet would be best if 

adopted by an active family with older children 

who are willing to continue her training. 

HARLEY is a three-year-old, 75 lb. boy who 

likes to think he’s a lap dog. He came to the 

shelter when his owners could no longer care 

for him. Harley enjoys taking walks, has great 

leash manners and requires a grain free diet. 

He loves to be pet and would make a wonderful 

companion for a family who would allow 

him to be the only pet. 

CINNAMON is an eight-year-old girl and 

came to the shelter when her owner could no 

longer care for her. She is a sweet pup who 

loves people, going for long walks and she has 

excellent leash skills. Cinnamon gets along 

with other cats but is not very enthusiastic 

with other dogs. She is house-trained and 

needs a family who will accept all her love.

STELLABLUE was with her previous owner 

since she was a kitten and came to the shelter 

when he suddenly passed away. She is a loving 

kitty ready for a new family to give all her love 

to. Stellablue is up to date on all vaccinations 

and would be good in a home with other dogs, 

cats and children. If interested in adopting 

Stellablue, contact the shelter. 

ROCKY (2) is a nine-year-old cat and came to 

the shelter when his owner passed away. He 

is an indoor cat and a very loyal companion. 

Rocky gets along well with other cats, dogs 

and children. He is ready to give all his love to 

a new family. Rocky is up to date on all vaccinations 

and loves to be pet. If interested in 

adopting Rocky, contact the shelter. 

SHADOW is a beautiful male cat in need of a 

special home. He came to the shelter when his 

owner passed away. Shadow is very shy and 

needs a home where he can come out of his 

shell on his own terms. He would be best in a 

calm and quiet home and gets along well with 

other cats. If interested in adopting Shadow, 

contact the shelter.
