A Monster, A Horse & My Mother’s 100th Birthday
That was my week, last week. I read Geraldine Brooks’s outstanding novel, Horse; I binge-watched the nauseating docudrama Dahmer- Monster: The Story of Jeffrey Dahmer , and on September 26, I reflected that my mother would have been 100 years old had she lived.

That’s the restaurant which just opened in the spanking-new, lavishly-renovated and refurbished Canoe Place Inn and Cottages in Hampton Bays.
We, longtime residents have been waiting for this moment for more than a decade. Continue reading “I Should Have Had The Lobster Roll At The New Canoe Place Inn”
