Today is the official last day of work for many of our friends over at Page Six Magazine. And, with that, I would like to toast their departures with a quote my sister sent me once when I was feeling pretty low:

Though we will miss your witty contributions at Page Six mag, we are looking forward to the great things you will no doubt be doing, especially you Kelly and Gregory!

This weather has got us thinking of warmer times spent out east. Specifically, at one of our favorite hot spots of the summer: Surf Lodge. Here's an update on the latest rumblings...apparently certain townies are still in a tizzy over the place, saying the building permit for the space was a mistake, yadda yadda yadda.
