Check out the Egg Harbor Beach... smart growth plans never mentioned sand, lots of new sand. Over on the East Coast I noticed real estate signs in the window of the Common House so I called 839.2708 and got a taped message from Trissa that says the restaurant is no more. But, she also says the Common House Bar will open on July 1... I always liked that mode best, back when Andy first opened it, so I can't wait to sit back with a snifter of GM and enjoy the classic atmosphere - like none other.

Right now I am multi-tasking, watching the new Bill Maher show, Amazon Fishbowl... a new weekly that premieres each Thursday (at 8 PM Pacific time... for those of you that love good old fashioned TV schedule mode) but can be seen anytime, including the past shows at www.amazon.com/entertainment. Bill's guests include the Dixie Chicks , Dean Koontz, Steve Schirripa and Ward Serrill and Darnellia Russell, the director and one of the subjects of the upcoming documentary The Heart of the Game - scheduled to open in national release on July 7, 2006.
