Remember last year, before Winter, when all sorts of experts were predicting a brutal season? I'm crossing my fingers, knocking on wood, and throwing salt over my shoulder as I type this, but it looks like we dodged the bullet here in Ocean County.
Let's continue today's topic of Ocean County's beaches and see what you like to indulge in when you hit the boardwalk.
We all know the economy is bad and unemployment is rough right now. A lot of people are looking for jobs and a lot of people may be willing to jump through hoops to get a full time job. But would you be willing to give our your Facebook, email, or Twitter username and password to a prospective employer?
We've had a number of polls for you to vote on so far this week and we've gotten some great results so I wanted to take a few minutes to give you the latest updates (you can still vote, of course!)
First, the image above shows us where we are in the Jersey Shore poll.

In the last few months, there have been a number of highly anticipated young adult book to movie adaptations. Some have fared better than others (at least critically, they've all earned a ton of money). The next saga to pick up the torch is the hugely popular Hunger Games series, which had a star-studded premiere last night in Hollywood.
A couple years ago I was at a very small restaurant in New York City with a few friends. I was sitting facing the door and I saw a short, distinguished man walk in with a young woman. Then the recognition hit me. I quietly said to my friends, "don't stare, but Dustin Hoffman just walked in".
