-2pm<br />
Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or, maybe<br />
even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent dining<br />
establishments. Well we’re shifting into the holiday shopping<br />
season and it’s only fitting that this column follows suit.<br />
We’ll give you the skinny on the clothes we try on, the candles<br />
we smell, the snacks we sample, who we bumped into and, you know,<br />
the general lay of the land PLUS where to find the best gifts this season.<br />
The place: Just for Laughs on the Washington Street Mall next to<br />
their sister store Kaleidoscope. It’s located across the way from the<br />
Original Fudge Kitchen.<br />
The story: While their first store Kaleidoscope opened its doors in<br />
2001, Just for Laughs came later in 2010 when Susan, Barry and Aaron’s<br />
humor was a hit through a small selection of Anne Taintor gifts. They<br />
decided to dedicate an entire store to sarcastic, caustic and childish<br />
gifts and Just for Laughs was born. They’re very clear — if you’re easily<br />
offended, this may not be the store for and that’s OK! Check out Kaleidoscope<br />
next door.<br />
The products: The shared giggles and gasps you’ll have while<br />
browsing the store will be frequent. Their variety of Blue Q Crew socks<br />
are colorful both in fabric and words from messages including “Hi, I<br />
don’t care, thanks,” and “I have to pee... again.” You’ll really have a laugh<br />
when you check out their Fiddler’s Elbow kitchen towels with the most<br />
honest feelings of those using them like the animal lovers and people<br />
haters. There are also t-shirts reading less-than-classy messages, vulgar<br />
coffee mugs and books, plus gag gifts that will have even the most<br />
proper grandparents crack a smile. The stocking stuffers you’ll find<br />
are endless and a great way to add some humor into your home. Card<br />
games, candles, magnets, finger puppets, soaps... the list goes on!<br />
The takeaway: Just for Laughs is carefully stocked with everything<br />
to make you do just that, laugh! Some items are inappropriate, politically<br />
incorrect and even gross, and may not be for the faint of heart. If<br />
you’re looking to ruffle some feathers all in good fun at the next family<br />
gathering, lighten the mood at the office, or pull a prank or two on your<br />
partner, stop in the next time your shopping on the Washington Street<br />
Mall.

Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
This holiday season, forget about the<br />
sweater and electronics. This year,<br />
give someone a hobby they will enjoy<br />
for the rest of their lives. I’m talking<br />
about bird watching, a hobby enjoyed<br />
by 50 million North American residents.<br />
It’s a treasure hunt and the playing field<br />
is everywhere. From your own back yard to<br />
Papua New Guinea.<br />
There are 10,000 bird species on the<br />
planet. Collect them all and you win a lifetime<br />
of travel. But if you never get farther than Cape<br />
May, your days will be filled with treasure.<br />
Over 400 species have been recorded in the<br />
county, making Cape May one of the most<br />
bird-rich places on earth.<br />
All you need are binoculars and a field<br />
guide to the birds. Both can be had for less<br />
than $70. That’s less than a round of golf or<br />
dinner for two in Cape May. Most local birding<br />
locations are free. Every national wildlife<br />
refuge in North America can be accessed with<br />
the purchase of a single Federal duck stamp.<br />
Your unofficial lifetime goal should you<br />
choose to bird only in North America is 700<br />
species. So what’s it going to be? A lifelong<br />
treasure hunt or a life spent watching reruns<br />
of Gilligan’s Island or inane game shows?<br />
Let’s say you chose a life of adventure.<br />
Step one: Head down to Cape May Bird<br />
Observatory and get fitted with birder worthy<br />
binoculars — not all binoculars work in<br />
the bird watching arena. If you tried birding<br />
before but were frustrated, it was because the<br />
binoculars you were using were inadequate.<br />
Birding-worthy binoculars start at $49 and<br />
they focus fast, focus close and offer a bright,<br />
sharp image.<br />
Step two: Buy a well-conceived, userfriendly<br />
field guide to birds. I recommend the<br />
Kaufman guide, but the Sibley excels, too. If<br />
you own an Audubon Field Guide with the<br />
green plastic cover, throw it away. Buy a guide<br />
that works.<br />
Step three, pick up a free Cape May bird<br />
checklist.<br />
Step four: go outside, start scooping<br />
up treasure, each new species you identify<br />
counts as one.<br />
Try Bunker Pond, Lake Lily or South Cape<br />
May, ducks abound at these locations in winter<br />
and ducks play fair, swimming in the<br />
open where they are easily viewed. Different<br />
habitats host a different array of species.<br />
A trip to Second Avenue jetty will garner<br />
Purple Sandpipers, Red-throated Loon and<br />
Bonaparte’s Gull. And those sandpipers on<br />
the beach are Sanderlings. So much to see.<br />
Will the Magic of Cape May<br />
be enough to heal a fractured family<br />
in time for Christmas?<br />

Who else has been waiting for a<br />
movie adaptation of the book<br />
“All the Light We Cannot See?”<br />
This has been a favorite since<br />
I read it five years ago. Netflix<br />
released a four-part miniseries this month.<br />
The adaptation is a captivating story, both<br />
weaving between 1944 German-occupied<br />
France and a few years before.<br />
The miniseries celebrates the essence,<br />
setting, and characters of the book. Marie<br />
(Aria Mia Loberti) is blind and a renegade<br />
radio host, and Werner (Louis Hofman) is an<br />
orphan and radio engineer wizard. The two<br />
have a bond through radio. Her broadcasts are<br />
punishable by death, and he’s forced by nazis<br />
to track transmissions and kill broadcasters.<br />
Change radio to cyberspace, and sadly<br />
this story can easily be told in our times. How<br />
stupid of me to think wars, bombing of innocent<br />
civilians, and crazy evil men wanting to<br />
control entire populations were in the past.<br />
Marie and her father, Daniel (Mark<br />
Ruffalo), flee Paris after the nazis invade to<br />
The Movie Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
join his uncle, Etienne (played by House star<br />
Hugh Laurie), in the major French port city of<br />
Saint-Malo. Although the narrative is fiction,<br />
the German siege of Saint-Malo was tragically<br />
real. Daniel and Marie escape with a rare<br />
jewel said to have mythological powers. One<br />
disturbingly villainous nazi officer (played by<br />
Lars Eidinger) wants that stone badly!<br />
Marie asks her father how they will reach<br />
Saint-Malo? There are no trains, and nobody<br />
will take them because, as she observes,<br />
“kindness is dead and all the people of the<br />
world have become evil at the same time.”<br />
Daniel simply answers, “not all the people.”<br />
Werner and Marie’s bond was through<br />
a radio show when they were younger that<br />
helped children cope with the horrors of war.<br />
He said, “The tyrant is a child of pride who<br />
drinks from his sickening cup of recklessness<br />
and vanity until, from his high crest, he plummets<br />
headlong to the dust of hope.”<br />
When I read the book years ago, few could<br />
have predicted the state of war we would<br />
be witnessing today. On this count, author<br />
Anthony Doerr has proven to be somewhat<br />
prophetic. But as Werner’s sister (played by<br />
Luna Wedler) pleads with her brother as he<br />
was taken by the nazis, “Keep the inside of<br />
your soul the same. Keep the frequency the<br />
same,” so good people must resist evil tyrants<br />
and their atrocities. Please… soldier on!<br />

The Activity Column<br />
Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, plan your holiday shopping list!<br />
Some people are gold-medal shoppers.<br />
They know how to use the expertise<br />
of store staff; they keep their receipts<br />
organized for returns; and they can<br />
carry almost as much as Santa. For the<br />
rest of us, I’ve collected some tips.<br />
First, have a plan. Dress for success with<br />
comfortable shoes and clothes that make it<br />
easy to try things on. Organize your coupons<br />
and customer loyalty cards, whether paper<br />
or digital. Think about the layout of your<br />
shopping destination. If you’re headed to the<br />
Washington Street Mall, for example, note the<br />
locations of the restrooms and the benches at<br />
Rotary Park — a good place to take a break and<br />
evaluate your haul mid-shop. Consider where<br />
to park — this is one time not to take your bike.<br />
Treat yourself to a small coffee from Coffee<br />
Tyme before you start and finish it before you<br />
enter any stores. Schedule a food break, but<br />
time things to avoid the crowds. Have a late<br />
breakfast and skip lunch so you don’t spend<br />
time waiting for a table. Bring home a charcuterie<br />
board from The Cheese Shop and a<br />
loaf of bread from A Ca Mia and call it dinner<br />
if you’re too tired to cook. You don’t have to<br />
reinvent the wheel; you just want to give people<br />
a little something to let them know you’re<br />
thinking of them. Themed gifts make shopping<br />
easier — buy them all beach toys for next<br />
summer, or get everyone a rune necklace from<br />
Swede Things or a Christmas tree ornament<br />
from Winterwood. Cape Mayniac hats for all<br />
the nieces and nephews were a hit for me one<br />
year. For the person who has everything, get<br />
something they’ll use up, like fancy soap from<br />
A Place On Earth or Bath Time, or something<br />
from the Beef Jerky Experience. Or a gift for<br />
their dog from Collar and Bone.<br />
The Cape May lovers in the crowd might<br />
like beach decor — Art Block has unusual<br />
items from local artists — or tee shirts from<br />
Beachlove. For the person who puts everyone<br />
else first, consider jewelry inspired by Cape<br />
May’s victorian vibe. Gift cards will make it<br />
easier for giftees to visit their favorite eateries.<br />
If you’re giving cash — the perpetual favorite<br />
of teenagers as well as young adults with student<br />
loans — consider wrapping it creatively<br />
— around a treat from Louisa’s Chocolate Bar<br />
or The Original Fudge Kitchen, or include a<br />
clever card from Whale’s Tale.<br />
Rekindle your holiday spirit with some<br />
actual celebrating — pick your spot for<br />
the West Cape May Christmas Parade on<br />
December 2. Pause to enjoy the music from<br />
local musicians. Treat yourself to a doughnut<br />
from Madison’s Bakery.<br />

Dear Answer Lady<br />
My grandmother is in her 60s and in<br />
pretty good shape, but she’s insists on wearing<br />
a bikini. My parents are hosting a Christmas<br />
weekend gathering at the Grand Hotel and<br />
we are all encouraged to use the indoor pool<br />
Saturday afternoon. It’s embarrassing and<br />
I don’t want to be anywhere near her. My<br />
parents are clueless. My cousins roll their eyes.<br />
I’m 13 and I don’t wear a bikini. I don’t even<br />
wear a two-piece. And I’m on the swim team.<br />
I want to stay home or at least hide in my room,<br />
but I know my parents will make me go. My<br />
mother said I could invite my friend to join us.<br />
It is one thing to endure this with just family,<br />
but now strangers will be subjected to it. What<br />
can I do? — Embarrassed Granddaughter<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
Dear Embarrassed<br />
Oh dear. I hate to tell you this, but you are<br />
going to have to suck it up. As your parents<br />
wisely realize, none of you have any control<br />
over grandma and her outfit choices. Just warn<br />
your friend ahead of time and concentrate on<br />
having a good time. You might want to take<br />
note of these facts and remember them so that<br />
when you are in your 60s, you can decide to go<br />
with a one-piece or two.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I am invited to a Christmas party the<br />
weekend of the West Cape May Christmas<br />
Parade. I’m not sure my best friend is invited,<br />
who is also friends with the couple. She<br />
asked me what I was doing for the parade,<br />
and I skirted the question. I don’t like being<br />
duplicitous, but I don’t want to hurt her<br />
feelings. I also know that if she is not invited,<br />
she will try to get me to score an invitation for<br />
her. What would you do? — Nervous Nellie<br />
Dear Nervous<br />
It seems to me this is much ado about<br />
nothing. Just tell her. You didn’t issue the<br />
invitations. The party is not at your house.<br />
It’s out of your control. Plus, you don’t know<br />
that she hasn’t been invited and is trying to<br />
sound you out. As to her trying to pressure<br />
you to “score” her an invitation, that is out of<br />
the question and will probably ensure you<br />
never get another invitation. Be sure to stop<br />
by Sunset Liquor and bring a hostess gift,<br />
otherwise YOU might end up on the cutting<br />
room floor next year.<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 />
BLAZE is a handsome boy who came to the<br />
shelter when his owner died and is a bit anxious<br />
over the turn his life has taken. He does<br />
require some basic training for leash walking<br />
and certain cue but is very treat motivated. A<br />
home that understands his anxiety and is willing<br />
to work with him will allow him to grow<br />
into a fine companion.<br />
PIPPY is a lively, sweet-tempered girl who<br />
came to the shelter when her family could<br />
no longer care for her. She is a one-year-old<br />
boxer who does need a refresher on basic cues.<br />
She does enjoy learning new things and her<br />
leash skills are good. Pippy loves car rides and<br />
her previous owner said she is good with children<br />
and other dogs.<br />
BLUE is a sweet six-year-old boy who came<br />
to the shelter when his owner could no longer<br />
care for him. He is mild mannered and loves to<br />
be with humans. Blue has terrific leash manners<br />
and enjoys going for walks. According<br />
to his last owner, he’s good with children and<br />
likes car rides. Blue would make a wonderful<br />
family companion.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />
Five beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />
HILDA, ZELDA AND SABRINA are a trio of<br />
beautiful six-month-old sisters. They are all<br />
happy and healthy and ready to be adopted<br />
into a new home, together or separate. This<br />
group would be good in a home with other<br />
cats, dogs and children. If interested in meeting<br />
Hilda, Zelda or Sabrina, contact the shelter.<br />
SHIRLEY TEMPLE is a six-month-old<br />
girl who was found in a hoarder house and<br />
brought to the shelter by Animal Control. She<br />
tends to shiver a bit when held, but loves to be<br />
pet. It may take some patience, but Shirley will<br />
warm up to you if given some love and attention.<br />
She’d do well in a home with other cats<br />
and children.<br />
BIJOU AND FRENCHIE are a brother and sister<br />
who were trapped in a trailer park community<br />
and found flea infested and starved. This<br />
pair is very scared but not aggressive at all.<br />
They have no domesticated well, so a barn or<br />
warehouse situation would fit them perfectly.<br />
They’re great with other cats and up to date on<br />
all vaccinations and neutered/spayed.<br />
