Almost Famous

 This was not the post I had planned for today...


Yesterday morning we went down to the inlet...


to watch the boats...


and enjoy donuts and frozen coffee drinks from Dunkin Donuts.

- Top That Donuts -
These are made right after you order, 
right before your eyes, and they are still hot when you receive them.

- Aunt Betty -

- Death By Chocolate -

- Mocha Coolatta -


My attention quickly turned to the sight of our Local News 12 New Jersey reporter,
walking along the inlet.
If you have ever spent any time in person with me...

"and you know, then you know...if you don't, then you don't"
I will talk to anyone and tell them my entire life story.


I struck up a conversation with these "superstars" and wanted to make it on the news.
They were covering a story I knew nothing about, 
so as nice as they were, they were not interested in filming me.
I tried...
I told them I watch them every night on television, that was true, I was born here, that was true...
I even tried to tell them about my blog, even the title but they didn't bite!


The story was featured on the news last night, about the proposed ferry with service to New York.
No mention of "purple debbie".


Across the inlet, in Manasquan, it appeared they were holding a graduation ceremony.

This was such a fun day, if you know me, you get it!

OMG those donuts. I think I started drooling over the picture. That looked so good.
Darn, too bad you couldn't convince them to put you on tv. I think she should have at least interviewed you on camera and saved it for a later time.
Fun place for a graduation.
