A WEEKEND WITH THE DUKE & ALEC... STACKS OF CONTROVERSY IN SAG.... BADLY BEHAVING BEAGLES!

Curious what to do this weekend in the Hamptons?  Well here are a few suggestions to keep yourself from going totally nuts with cabin fever!

One easy thing you might want to consider is going to see a good movie.    So what's playing in down this weekend?  Let's take a look.  

Wait, I don't know a single one of these movies!  FULL TIME?  Is that a porn flick?    Where is "Jupiter Ascending" or at the very least "March of the Penguins"..... which I think is still playing here!  Oh wait, "Managers" isn't that the direct to video movie with Dane Cook?   Well if none of these titles appeal to you Pilgrim, maybe you'd want to go see John Wayne in "The Searchers" at Guild Hall.  Alec Baldwin is hosting another in the Hampton's Film Festival's Winter Series with a special screening of the John Ford Classic.   For more information you can try clicking here!     Personally, I'm still waiting for them to host a screening of director Jack Smight's masterpiece "Airport 75."    It's an epic story which analyzes man's inhumanity to man in the metaphor of a 747 without a pilot!    Helen Reddy's tour de force performance as Sister Ruth and Charlton Heston's romantic chemistry with George Kennedy... it's no wonder why this epic is considered a classic!

Stacks and stacks of controversy!  The new Harbor Market!
Meanwhile, if you want something with a little more drama you can go online and read all about how some residents of Sag Harbor trying to stop the opening of a new market!   The Harbor Market and kitchen is to be located at the site of the old Espresso!    Apparently neighbors are fuming over an upgrade in the ventilation system and what is being perceived as a potential new noise maker!   Now Espresso has been there for years and some are criticizing local residents for trying to have things their way.... after the fact.  Meanwhile opponents are saying it's just a bit too industrial for a residential neighborhood.      Now we all know it's hard enough with all the regulations out here for small businesses to survive.    So, I'm not getting into the fray here but I do think sometimes those who live in illegal glass houses should be careful before throwing stones!

Busted! Bella trying to hide her butts!
Finally, longer days can't come fast enough for me... when is daylight savings time anyway?  But while I'm wishing for warmer longer days, I am going to share a little something that makes spying on my dogs Bella and Russell in the backyard at night a little easier.    They're called NightIze and they sell for about  $6 on Amazon . It's as simple as a a clip on a collar and squeeze on the light to use.   Do they work?   Well let's just put it this way, I'm finding a lot less strange dogs hanging around ....and no more cigarette butts and beer bottles from my two trouble makers going outside.


I hate when my dogs smell like tobacco!


p.s.   I don't have an editor on this blog, I'm just happy I'm getting it done.    I'll fix it over the course of the next few days but lighten up folks... I have another job!

I think my Alfie left a bottle of malt liquor at your house. Sorry.
