One of the fun things about writing this blog is the fact it’s a blog. \u00a0 \u00a0 This isn’t done for any other reason than my own amusement. \u00a0 I can write thoughts and impressions on just about everything, except relatives. \u00a0 That being said, today I’m just jotting some really tangential thoughts about living on the east end. \u00a0 In no particular order of importance are my unrelated musings about my little part of the world this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Life in the fast lane…….<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

1) \u00a0Do they really need speed traps on Route 27 when the average speed on weekends is about 10 miles an hour? \u00a0 \u00a0 Seriously, I’ve noticed this over and over again. \u00a0 Considering traffic is worse this year than last (yes, we say this every year) I don’t understand. \u00a0 \u00a0Maybe there* not actually speed
\ntraps and instead just looking for the next Range Rover to go by with an inexperienced driver texting like mad on the way to Tracy Anderson. \u00a0 Speaking of which….<\/p>\n

2) \u00a0Wouldn’t it be great if they opened a Planet Fitness next to Tracy Anderson in Water Mill!? \u00a0 \u00a0I don’t know why but I just find this idea so appealing. \u00a0 Come to think of it, let’s open a Ben and Jerry’s on the other side.<\/p>\n

3) \u00a0I’m over screaming children in restaurants…. when I was a kid, my parents would have killed (me) if I ran around and screamed in a public space. \u00a0 But then again, \u00a0the only two restaurants my parents ever took me to were Rustler Steak House and Perkins Pancakes. \u00a0 Anyway, we digress. \u00a0 The bottom line is I’m not spending top dollar to eat out and have your kid scream in my ear! \u00a0When my nieces and nephews were little and screaming, I wouldn’t go to do dinner with them so I’m sure as hell not having dinner with your kid! \u00a0I know I sound cranky but whatever. \u00a0 \u00a0I also want to say your kid isn’t that cute!<\/p>\n

4) \u00a0There is nothing better than taking a boat at twilight and heading to dinner. \u00a0 Especially when it’s someone else’s boat!!!<\/p>\n

5) \u00a0Is it really worth $100 for a pound of Lobster Salad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Season’s Greetings… it could be July 4th!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

6) If you’re being honored by a particular charity and asked to make a speech, please make it about the charity and not about yourself. \u00a0“I’m so busy but I find time… my personal assistant has been swamped…. my new shoes hur!” \u00a0UGH! Really? \u00a0 Hamptons residents are very generous and love supporting the charities of their choice and…. squirrel… make sure to buy tickets for Gimme Shelter Animal Rescue <\/a>benefit next week it’s a good one… also the LGBT Network’s Sunset on the Harbor<\/a>….. but please don’t mistake my donation as an invitation to go on about YOU!<\/p>\n

7) Finally, \u00a0I was taught long ago you never go to someone’s house for dinner empty handed. \u00a0 \u00a0I think it’s a nice practice. \u00a0 But for the love of g-d, if you’re going to re-gift the bottle of wine you received two weeks earlier at your dinner party take the old tag off. \u00a0 \u00a0 Oh, and by the way if I’m the one who brings said bottle back to your house, please don’t let everyone know! \u00a0 Maybe I didn’t like that cheap garbage you gave me!!!<\/p>\n
