Hawk Haven Winery | Rio Grande, NJ

On my way down to see Cape May Brewing Company,  I drove past a sign for Hawk Haven Winery and it looked kind of interesting, so on my way home I stopped. When Todd Wuerker saw me get out of my car with a big camera, he scurried, afraid I was trying to sell him something. Eventually, he came back around and we talked for a couple of hours, and even drank some wine. They have a great product, a promising venue and a story to tell. I'll be back.


Cape May Brewing Co


Last weekend I ventured down to Cape May to see about a new brewery right here in our county and aptly named the Cape May Brewing Company. They've been open for a little less than a year, but they're getting ready to expand so I'll be visiting them again soon. Keep a look out around June or July.

Angel Hair | Angel's Barber Shop

I've been growing my hair out. That sounds so strange. How else would one grow their hair. For that matter, it's not like I've made this conscious decision to grow hair. I've made a decision to stop cutting it, or at least cutting it so close to my skull. So let me start over.

I've decided to stop cutting my hair every week with clippers. Which means I probably won't be cutting my own hair for awhile. Which means I needed to find someone else to do it.

This is where Angel comes in. Angel owns a small barber shop in Cape May Court House, the next town over from me. Just walk in, you'll most likely find Angel.

That's Angel. Nice guy. Greeted me the moment I walked in the door. Shook my hand and told me he'd be right with me. And that he was.

I sat in the chair, told him what I wanted, he said he understood....Badda Bing, Badda Boom, some clippers, some shears, a hot towel, a straight razor and a few other implements of destruction, and I was all cleaned up and ready to go about my day.

There is a place in Philadelphia that's kind of like this. But they also do the old school straight razor shaves. That's a little slower pace than Angel's. But that's cool. It was a good experience.

Bikers In Wildwood, NJ

Spent the morning working, then met up a friend, Kurt Kelly, and we headed over to Wildwood, NJ to experience the Roar To The Shore, a big biker weekend. It was a scene for sure. Apparently not nearly as big as it used to be, but still a whole lot of bikers in one place. Kurt and I walked around all afternoon and into the night, talking to people and taking their pictures. In this environment, you ask before you take a picture, and guys wearing colors, you don't even ask. Most said yes and were happy to do it.

Cape May Zoo | Baby Snow Leopards



The Cape May County Zoo recently announced the arrival of baby Snow Leopards and Sunday we went to see them. I didn't have high hopes because I figured they'd be behind glass, or asleep, or whatever. But there they were frolicking about. Two males and their mother.

Igor Visits New Jersey

Avalon, NJ | ©2010 Hopping Frog Studios
Igor, the ninth tropical storm of the season, is coming to New Jersey. Actually, it's not coming anywhere close to shore, but it's just close enough to give us a nice swell. If you're not a surfer, then you're probably not even paying attention, but those of us still looking to get some nice rides before the weather turns and we have to squeeze into a rubber suit, we're pretty stoked.

After rather disappointing results from the last few storms (although to be honest I had a lot of fun with the last one), we're really looking forward to some good surf.
