Flowers were pulled out of the dirt, some of them turned on their side. Dirt was scattered and holes were dug. We had a garden bandit. I would replant, reorganize,and clean up. And then sometime in the dark of the night, the garden bandit would return to unplant, disorganize and mess it all up again. Now it was getting personal.

Have you ever been at a cash register and just know you were undercharged or not charged at all for something? What did you do?

Ever have somebody cut you in line? What did you do? Did you say something or did you let it happen? My wife and I walked into a restaurant in Point Pleasant yesterday and were waiting to put our name in for a table and the front of the restaurant was pretty crowded. The hostess was trying to multi task, but it wasn't easy. Almost everyone on line waited patiently. Almost everyone.

This morning featured some pretty heavy downpours. It got me thinking about which Monnmouth/Ocean roadway was the worst on a bad rain day.

According to a report in the American Journal Of Preventive Medicine, as reported by news-medical.net, commuting more than 10 miles was associated with high blood pressure. Those who travel 15 miles or more had a higher likelihood of obesity.

It's impossible to imagine that a child with a yard and a shovel hasn't attempted to dig to China. There are obvious limitations, both physically and technologically, but let's say we could do it. Where would we end up?

As we've been telling you, and as I'm sure you've seen all around Monmouth and Ocean counties, this is the spring of the butterfly. People have been reporting seeing dozens if not hundreds of them.

Friday night, I was honored to host the Humanitarian Gala for the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties at Eagle Oaks Country Club in Farmingdale.It was a beautiful night of generosity.

I'm a Mets fan through and through. I'll admit that it's always more difficilt to handle a Mets loss on a day when the Yankees win. It 's just part of the rivalry. And the Yankees are always winning. It's a little annoying. But Mets fans aren't only about winning, or we wouldn't be Mets fans. This Mariano Rivera injury is different though. I want to put the rivalry aside and stand up next to all Y

On a nice day in our neighborhood in Point Pleasant, Diane and I get to see a lot of our neighbors. Some are walking the dog, some getting home from work, some just pop out of their house just to say hello. We were just talking the other night about how lucky we are to have great neighbors. We all know it's not always that way.

I am so honored to be hosting the Humanitarian Gala tomorrow night at Eagle Oaks Golf and Country Club in Farmingdale. It's a huge event that benefits the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

We reported to you yesterday that Greg Schiano, former Rutgers and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers head football coach, was instrumental in signing Eric LeGrand to a professional contract. LeGrand, paralyzed a year and a half ago during a Rutgers game, has been nothing short of inspirational, and I had to get my two cents in about this chapter of his amazing story.
